I have a modded Wii U that I set up a few years back so it's all a little fuzzy on steps and specifics.
I have an SD card and a USB hard drive.
I am trying to add a Wii U game (Resident Evil) and its 13gbs so it won't fit on a FAT32 SD card.
I have it in WUX format, WUD format , and in a folder with .app and .h3 files

But I am at a loss as to how to install it on my Wii U.

Any help would be appreciated!

Good morning,

what guide did you follow to modify your wii U?

place your game (.app and .h3 folder, title tik, title tmd......) in the "install" folder on your SD, then install it with "wup installer gx2"

There are certain requirements you need to have to Install Wii u games . Hacked Wiiu Firmware, SD Card , PC, Strong Internet Connection, WUP installer.
  • You can choose to install a USB Helper on your PC.
  • Once done , Download the game that you want .
  • Click on Add to download.
  • Once done , Insert the WII U SD Card on your PC , copy the game and Insert SD Card to your Wii U to install it .

its 13gbs so it won't fit on a FAT32 SD card.
NUSspli is able to download to your external USB drive instead of the SD card. You can also create a install folder on USB and upload your game (the folder with .app and .h3 files) to there with FTPiiU, then use NUSspli to install from that but that might even be a bit slower than just redownloading with NUSspli.

//EDIT: Also the .app files are never > 4 GB. So while the game folder as a whole might be 13 GB there should be no single file too big for FAT32. So your .app / .h3 dump should fit on FAT32 just fine.

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

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

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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 :)
