Is there a tutorial to put photo channel on my vwii cause I don’t want to brick it like an idiot…
Step one: Ensure your vWii is hacked and has The Homebrew Channel (or HBC for short) installed. This typically requires the Wii U as a whole to be hacked and have CFW installed, which if anything is even better.
Step two: Obtain a WAD of the Photo Channel, then place it on your SD card. You'll also want something like WiiModLite to install it.
Step three: Open HBC from the Wii Menu, launch a WAD manager (like WiiModLite) and install the Photo Channel wad. Congrats!

If you have trouble with any part of what I said, feel free to let me know here and I'll try my best to help.
Hello, I was trying the same things as op, but whenever I try to install it, it says I need IOS61, do you know how to install it or if it's even possible? Thanks in advance! :yayu:

Odd... None of those would have touched IOS 61, so it seems like it's just. Missing somehow? I'll have to look into this further, it's been a while since I've messed about with vWii stuff
Thx, just found this thread which is kinda similar (instead of Photo Channel it's Mother 3) and maybe it can help a bit, but the solution was using emulators, which doesn't work in this case.

I did a syscheck and found out there is no IOS61 installed, not even a stub. so I guess the solution is to install IOS61 via a wad. But idk if it's safe, bcuz when I looked at the wiki, saw that there is no vWii IOS61 version unlike other IOSses. So I think the safest option is to try installing other Photo Channel versions, I'll try that tomorrow and come back with results.

EDIT: it seems like someone made a modified version of Photo Channel 1.1 that works on the vWii, if anyone wants it, the Google Drive link is here: Photo Channel 1.1 vWii

  • B @ BigArnold:
    Can you guys help with my problem concerning my Switch?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Did you switch it up
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Switch what up?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Switch the switch to resolve your issue
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, sorry but i cant, i dont have a switch. also what k3nv2 says is a joke
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's what I figured. I put a post up in a forum but no one seems to replying to posts there. I also don't what this chat is attached to.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    General chat as it implies
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, try posting in the "switch noob paradise" thread
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's where I put it. But like I said other people's posts from a day or two ago have no responses. I'm not sure if the chat is part of the Nintendo forum that I'm on or a part of the website as a whole.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, part of the website as a whole
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    then try making a thread
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    wait you are too new to be able to do that
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's fine. I'll find my way.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @BigArnold you put the fusee or hekate.bin in the hekate/ payloads folder, or use app to push the payload to switch while its in rcm mode

  • B @ BigArnold:
    The problem is is that TegraGUI isn't detecting my Switch despite it being plugged in and in RCM or maintenance mode.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Did you click install driver inside the tegra app.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did all of that stuff and it seemed successful but still nothing. The only thing different from the guide I used was that my device wasn't showing up as APX but rather Nintendo Switch.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did it inside the Tegra app and Zadig.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Try a different USB c cable, or different USB port on your pc.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I tried a different port and don't have another cable. I'm fairly certain there's no issue with the equipment I'm using.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Some cheap USB c cables don't send data, they only charge
  • B @ BigArnold:
    The cable is usually used to connect my controller to my switch's dock.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Only other thing Id suggest is using a phone/tablet and use the Rekato app, or different pc
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Okay then.
    Thanks for your help.
