hotaru251 i mean Wii U is like THE device you softmoded (had to re-do the mod every boot or could do a more permanent one if wanted) even when was new as it let you bypass region lock and stuff (also it was so simple a kid could do it) and at that point you downloaded the custom e-shop, downloaded a game dumper, put disk in and dumped it to an external hdd, then you played off said hdd that held every one of your games, in 1 spot, and faster (reading off an external hdd was still faster than reading disc itself).

Did a free solution ever come out? I remember when I did it, I had to buy Brain Age from the shop. Granted, it was like $4, but since the eShop is now closed, that kinda makes this method unreliable these days. Oh, and having to buy a Y cable for the external drive is a pain. The Wii U isn't powerful enough to run an external drive without a Y cable plugged into both of its USB slots on the back, and I always found that cumbersome. This mod would actually cut out the need for that. Reply

Yup I did it free, you have to connect the wii-u to the net and go to a special site while having files on your sd ready to act, also you only need the y cable for mechanical drives, usb thumb sticks and ssds work fine with a simple cable. https://wiiu.hacks.guide/ Reply
hotaru251 Joomsy said: Did a free solution ever come out? yeah similar to the og wii just had visit url with some files on an sd card. (that one did have some random issues and got patched out iirc but they have better ways and still free no game needed) TerryLaze said: also you only need the y cable for mechanical drives it was hit or miss on how much power the drive used. I only needed a basic one for a mechanical hdd as was low power enough (iirc was a mechanical WD portable one) but one of my other ones wouldnt run off one. Reply
