You can use two hard drives in one enclosure, but yes, you will need two if you want to not have to use injects.Thinking about getting a WiiU and softmodding it but I don't know if its worth it. How is N64 emulation on it, what homebrew ports are worth getting (go ahead and say tha OoT Ship on the Poopdeck mod blah blah blah), what official WiiU games are worth the time and what accessories do I need to get other than the y cable I need for the hdd? Also do not tell me to get a Switch unless you're gonna give me one.

Pretty good as Wii U, Wii and GCN are hardware compatible...How good are the compatibility for those gc and wii injects?
As far as I know, that's not possible on any system other than PC, but that's only for Skylanders. I don't recall anything similar for Lego Dimensions or Disney Infinity.I might consider getting a WiiU if there is a way for me to play Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions without the toys.
N64 is slightly better but a lot of games still don't work there. I once considered using a Wii/Wii U as a replacement console for N64 but the compatibility lists are depressing. Bought an N64 + x7 for it.Thinking about getting a WiiU and softmodding it but I don't know if its worth it.

I'm using a 128GB SanDisk USB, I noticed that if I don't connect my Wii U to the internet: launch a game > press home button > Close Software > Wii U home menu.The only thing I don't like about the Wii U is the long loading times, like boot time, launching a game and exiting back to the Wii U home menu. It's just like 15 ish seconds.
I never had this issue with long load times, when I had mine all loadings were super quick.
The only issue I had was this one time when the hard drive got too fragmented and since I was using an external hard drive with no power supply, it would crash certain games. What solved me for good is copying the entire data to another drive, formatting the main drive and then copying (never move) data again but in this case, one game at a time (to prevent the system from shuffling data when copying). It is a tedious process but if you have installled all the games you want to play, without too much data management and freeing space for other games, you dont need to do this annoying process ever again. I used a 250GB hard drive and it still was about a half of size left unused, so to install every content you dont even need a very big hard drive.
There is a way to avoid that by just having either externally powered HDDs, or what I did is to get a single USB 3 hub that's powered and running two Western Digital green SSDs off of it. There's still one Y cable involved in my setup, but the Y cable also connects to the powered USB hub to get the extra juice from there instead of from the Wii U.Theres really no way to have all the games on one hdd? Thats kinda a deal breaker especially when I don't like the y cable thing that could probably lead to power cycle problems.

Yes you can for Lego Dimensions, Ive made loads using blank nfc tags and an android app called Lego Tag Editor, You just scan a blank tag, select what character or vehicle you want from a drop down list and then just program the tag, I got some plastic shells, printed some lega head stickers out so you know whats what and even made a few lego characters myself to glue ontop.I might consider getting a WiiU if there is a way for me to play Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions without the toys.
The console definitely doesnt like flash drives. The only time I had major issues is when I used flash drives and I used SanDisk drives too, which is a shame because I think having to hunt for a hard drive with a separate power supply or with a Y cable was already pretty annoying even at the time. It is funny how I can connect a USB 3.0 hard drive directly fine on the Wii but to make it work on the Wii U I have to use a Y cable.I'm using a 128GB SanDisk USB, I noticed that if I don't connect my Wii U to the internet: launch a game > press home button > Close Software > Wii U home menu.
