> Homebrew applications are custom, user-made software, which haven’t been authorized by Nintendo. This can include save editing tools, games, emulators, and more.
> Homebrew can be run on your Wii U as long as you have a way to put files on an SD Card and your Wii U is updated to the latest version for your region.
> Custom Firmware (“CFW”) enables you to use more advanced hacks that userland homebrew can’t easily do. For instance, installing game modifications with ease. CFW can be set up on any console on the latest version.
!> Avant de commencer le guide, vous devez connaître les risques du hack de la Wii U : À CHAQUE FOIS que vous modifiez votre système, il y a toujours un potentiel de bricker votre console de manière IRRÉCUPÉRABLE. Ils sont rares, mais toujours possibles, alors assurez-vous de suivre EXACTEMENT TOUTES les instructions.
> Your SD Card should preferably be 32 gigabytes large, as a full NAND backup for the console will take up around 8 or 30 gigabytes depending on your model.
Si tout se passe comme prévu, vous ne perdrez aucune donnée et finirez avec tout ce que vous aviez avant de commencer (jeux, NNID, les données de sauvegarde, etc seront conservés).
