I've read Tiramisu documentation and it seems like installing a bad .wad could result in a brick of the vWii, but as far as I know, it's safe to install correctly dumped .wad's that were signed originally by Nintendo (basically anything released on the eShop corresponding to the console region).

I'm going to install Megaman 9 & 10 with their DLCs on my vWii using this wad manager , my question is, are there any easy ways to create a forwarder for these WiiWare games for the Wii U main menu? I'd love to access them directly from my gamepad without having to deal with the vWii interface.


I just updated Tiramisu after what seems years without doing so, checked my NAND (thankfully it was made by Toshiba), but I'm completely unaware of any other new homebrew tools that could fit this purpose. I'd appreciate any help on this topic, thank you very much

You can use teconmoon to make forwarders, being able to play your wads on the gamepad.
Have you ever done this successfully? I'm really struggling at injecting Sonic & Knuckles right now and would really appreciate a bit of help if you can.

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
