What about Linux? If we wanted a good working windows 8 on Wii u, we need a linux on wii u and get the virtualbox.
I'm no expert, but i highly doubt wii u is powerful enough to run a windows vm
Actually, even the original Wii can run Windows via DOSBox, it's just... that doesn't make sense to run it, we are way better having a native Linux running. Windows does not support PowerPC.
Wii U does run PowerPC, normal Windows is x86 only (yes and there's a arm version).
There's no way of emulation Win XP like DosBox since XP is based on Windows NT. (Win 9x is still DOS-based)
Virtualization would take way too much resources than a Wii U could offer.
So, while Linux might be completely possible don't try doing this as it surely won't work. And if it would work you wouldn't be satisfied by the performance.
I'd recommend you buy an older NUC like a NUC6CAYH as those are pretty cheap, run older OSes and do have a lot of performance for their price and size.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though. -

RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?

although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)

@BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.

If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.

and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced

ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
