The wiiU is a very great console to hack, it can run all older Nintendo consoles including GC, wii and ds. Aren’t there any user here wanting to discuss that?

    Many systems you can emulate using the Nintendo Virtual Console emulators. There are tools to inject a rom into (pirated) eShop virtual Console games, replacing their rom. You then install the patched game folder using the homebrew software WUP installer. Of course, there are databases out there with many pre-injected Roms including artwork etc. One just has to find them. The installed games are stored in the wiiU internal storage, or a up to 2tb big HD (the USB ports don’t have many amps, so use a 12v powerd disk or maybe Y-cable)

    Some systems/games work better using hombrew emulators, for those you store the roms in the SD card.

    For GameCube, there is nintedont, which uses the wii inside the wii U to run the roms. I think it was like you have to have Nintendont installed and install forwarder icons using WUP installer, but have to undust my wii U to know again.
