Is it possible to create a basic USB Loader GX forwarder that keeps the Wii U clock speeds?

If it is possible;
- Would this mean that any Wii or GameCube game loaded via USB Loader GX thereafter keeps the Wii U clock speeds? Or would it be reset when a game is loaded?
- Would this forwarder need to be installed to Wii U NAND and not loaded up as a .wuhb file?

My ideal scenario is to have two forwarders for USB Loader GX on the Wii U side - one standard forwarder (easy; already done) and one that retains Wii U clocks. I just don't know if this is doable.

Cheers.

Is there any game cannot reach 100% speed with a simple GX forwarder? I mean what is your goal for doing this?
Besides yeah currently the "official" GX forwarder can only be installed on USB

Yes. Some GameCube games can benefit further by running at Wii U speeds, and yes, I'm aware Nintendont already runs them at Wii speeds with improved performance.

Simplicity of being able to run Wii and GameCube games via an unthrottled USB Loader GX without individually patching, packaging and installing them. Understanding that some games might not play nicely with the full Wii U speeds, hence the 2 forwarders side-by-side.

Why does it need to be "official?" I'm currently running a GX forwarder WUHB file and that's just on the SD card.

I am no programmer myself, but I believe to achieve this (nintendont with Wii U clock speed) you need to reprogramm the code. And correct me if I am wrong, but there might be compatibility issues, because WIi is designed to be compatible with GC games, while Wii U is not. A simple point is that overspeed.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    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)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    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
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    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
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
