USB game loading: You only have a measly 16-32 GB of space on your Wii U, which is only enough to install a few games to the fast internal storage.

Emulators: Want to run Nintendo 64 games on your Wii U? With emulators, the Wii U can play almost any Nintendo game that isn't a 3DS or Switch exclusive.There's plenty of cool things you can do with a modded console. Homebrew is a great way to breath new life into an old console. You don't run any risk of damaging or bricking your console with normal homebrew, so it's entirely safe. Once you're confortable with it, installing Coldboot Haxchi shouldn't be any difficult at all, provided you follow the instructions to the letter.This process is long, but isn't overly complicated and can be completed by the average user. IMO, you should just get Haxchi installed and load it manually. Yes, you can also do this with Mocha, but you'd still be using CBHC and adding some unnecessary seconds to the boot. can be installed through CBHC (Coldboot Haxchi) to make it boot directly into a signature-patched Home menu. 90% of end-users will only use the same features that Haxchi provides.

Absolutely not, unless you're planning on actually tinkering with your Wii U and not just using it for homebrew and games. the 32GB of internal storage of your Wii U) that simulates the physical chip on your SD, so you can tinker with it without having to worry about bricking. Thats really the trickiest part of the thing, the number of files you have to copy to your SD card, move to the wii u, do 1-2 things, bring the SD card back to the PC, delete/copy some new files, over and over and its tempting to 'take some shortcuts' but I wouldn't recommend that. I at one point was having problems with haxchi not starting and I thought about just forging ahead, but then read through the previous steps again and figured out I had copied a few files to the wrong place, redoing those steps made everything just fine. I backed the whole thing up on my PC, if my SD card ever dies I can just buy a new one and copy it over and running again just fine.Īs long as you follow the steps and immediately stop if something doesn't line up with what it says, you won't brick your wii u. My previous wii u died because its internal memory started going corrupt.īy using redNAND you are essentially completely ignoring the internal memory now and everything runs off your SD card, including the 32 gig 'internal memory' which is now actually on your SD card.
