- **FSGetMountSource failed:** Same as -3 above, means no SD Card detected. Re-insert the SD and try again. This could also mean that the SD card is locked (Slider is down instead of up) or the SD card label is "WIIU", which is stated in the guide causes conflict. If it's not any of these issues, refer to the last suggestion from -3.
- **FSOpenFile failed [...] payload.elf:** Missing payload file on SD. Make sure you have payload.elf in the wiiu folder.
- **FSOpenFile failed:** Missing `homebrew_launcher` on SD. Make sure you have `homebrew_launcher.elf` in the <code>/wiiu<wbr>/apps<wbr>/homebrew_launcher</code> folder.
- **SD Mount Failed:** Similar to -4, the console recognizes the SD card but could not mount it. Make sure it is formatted properly. Also, your SD card is more compatible with reputable brands (i.e. SanDisk, Samsung, Lexar, etc.) and less likely to have issues.
### Data Management asks to delete unnecessary data, what does it mean?
This refers to leftover files from incomplete installs. Always choose Yes to delete this data, as it takes up space for no good reason. If it ever stays stuck on deleting the data in an infinite loop, you can manually delete the data yourself.

# vWii Modding Guide {docsify-ignore-all}
## Finalizing Setup
Now that the required cIOSes and IOS80 patch have been applied, we are now going to finalize the setup.
### Additional Homebrew Apps
- **SaveGame Manager GX** allows you to backup and restore your saves and Miis, especially saves that can't usually be copied.
- **Nintendont** is a virtual machine that allows you to play Gamecube games.
- The **Open Shop Channel** is an appstore where you can download more apps.
### Additional Homebrew Apps - What You Need
- The latest release of [SaveGame Manager GX](https://hbb1.oscwii.org/api/v3/contents/SaveGame_Manager_GX/SaveGame_Manager_GX.zip)
- The `loader.dol`, `meta.xml` and `icon.png` of [Nintendont](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/Nintendont)
- The `Homebrew Browser.zip` of the [Open Shop Channel](https://hbb1.oscwii.org/api/v3/contents/homebrew_browser/homebrew_browser.zip)
### Additional Homebrew Apps - Extracting Files to the SD Card
1. Extract and copy the contents of `SaveGame_Manager_GX.zip` to the root of the SD card.
2. Follow the instructions in the link for copying Nintendont.
3. Extract the contents of the `homebrew_browser.zip` to the root of the SD card.
### USB Loaders
In order to play Wii games, you will need a USB loader. There are two popular loaders called WiiFlow Lite and USB Loader GX. Both can be found on [this site](https://wii.hacks.guide/wii-loaders).
### Installing Priiloader
Yes, Priiloader now works on vWii! The guide for installing it can be found [here](https://wii.hacks.guide/priiloader).
!> Priiloader versions before 0.10.0 do not work with vWii. Priiloader versions before 0.8.2 will brick your vWii.

Patching IOS 80 allows you to have custom channels on the SD card, including wads. However, it is not required.
!> If for any reason, the Wii U is turned off while patching IOS 80, your vWii will be bricked. This can be fixed by either extracting the IOS 80 from your previously made NAND backup and then replacing it over FTP or by [reinstalling IOS 80](recover-vwii-ioses-channels).
1. Launch Patched IOS 80 Installer for vWii.
2. Read the warning screen and wait 30 seconds.
3. Press any buttons to install.
4. Wait until it says <code>IOS80 <wbr>Installation <wbr>is <wbr>complete!</code>.
5. Press any button to exit.
!> Installing custom System Menu is a definite brick risk and you should always have an effective backup before installing one but when done right, won't brick the vWii.
!> Installing any IOS (including TED IOSes) or wads made for the original Wii on your vWii will brick it. WiiWare wads are fine, but some need to be converted to work.

- **FSGetMountSource failed:** Same as -3 above, means no SD Card detected. Re-insert the SD and try again. This could also mean that the SD card is locked (Slider is down instead of up) or the SD card label is "WIIU", which is stated in the guide causes conflict.

- **FSOpenFile failed [...] payload.elf:** Missing payload file on SD. Make sure you have payload.elf in the wiiu folder.

- **SD Mount Failed:** Similar to -4, the console recognizes the SD card but could not mount it. Make sure it is formatted properly. Also, your SD card is more compatible with reputable brands (i.e. SanDisk, Samsung, Lexar, etc.) and less likely to have issues.
### Data Management asks to delete unnecessary data, what does it mean?
This refers to leftover files from incomplete installs. Always choose Yes to delete this data, as it takes up space for no good reason. If it ever stays stuck on deleting the data in an infinite loop, you can manually delete the data yourself.

- **FSGetMountSource failed:** Same as -3 above, means no SD Card detected. Re-insert the SD and try again. This could also mean that the SD card is locked (Slider is down instead of up) or the SD card label is "WIIU", which is stated in the guide causes conflict.

- **FSOpenFile failed [...] payload.elf:** Missing payload file on SD. Make sure you have payload.elf in the wiiu folder.

- **SD Mount Failed:** Similar to -4, the console recognizes the SD card but could not mount it. Make sure it is formatted properly. Also, your SD card is more compatible with reputable brands (i.e. SanDisk, Samsung, Lexar, etc.) and less likely to have issues.
### Data Management asks to delete unnecessary data, what does it mean?
This refers to leftover files from incomplete installs. Always choose Yes to delete this data, as it takes up space for no good reason. If it ever stays stuck on deleting the data in an infinite loop, you can manually delete the data yourself.

- **SD Mount Failed:** Similar to -4, the console recognizes the SD card but could not mount it. Make sure it is formatted properly. Also, your SD card is more compatible with reputable brands (i.e. SanDisk, Samsung, Lexar, etc.) and less likely to have issues.
### Data Management asks to delete unnecessary data, what does it mean?
This refers to leftover files from incomplete installs. Always choose Yes to delete this data, as it takes up space for no good reason. If it ever stays stuck on deleting the data in an infinite loop, you can manually delete the data yourself.

# vWii Modding Guide {docsify-ignore-all}
## Finalizing Setup
Now that the required cIOSes and IOS80 patch have been applied, we are now going to finalize the setup.
### Additional Homebrew Apps
- **SaveGame Manager GX** allows you to backup and restore your saves and Miis, especially saves that can't usually be copied.
- **Nintendont** is a virtual machine that allows you to play Gamecube games.
- The **Open Shop Channel** is an appstore where you can download more apps.
### Additional Homebrew Apps - What You Need
- The latest release of [SaveGame Manager GX](https://hbb1.oscwii.org/api/v3/contents/SaveGame_Manager_GX/SaveGame_Manager_GX.zip)
- The `loader.dol`, `meta.xml` and `icon.png` of [Nintendont](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/Nintendont)
- The `Homebrew Browser.zip` of the [Open Shop Channel](https://hbb1.oscwii.org/api/v3/contents/homebrew_browser/homebrew_browser.zip)
### Additional Homebrew Apps - Extracting Files to the SD Card
1. Extract and copy the contents of `SaveGame_Manager_GX.zip` to the root of the SD card.
2. Follow the instructions in the link for copying Nintendont.
3. Extract the contents of the `homebrew_browser.zip` to the root of the SD card.

### Installing Priiloader
Yes, Priiloader now works on vWii! The guide for installing it can be found [here](https://wii.hacks.guide/priiloader).
!> Priiloader versions before 0.10.0 do not work with vWii. Priiloader versions before 0.8.2 will brick your vWii.

## Patching IOS 80 (Optional)
Patching IOS 80 allows you to have custom channels on the SD card, including wads. However, it is not required.
!> If for any reason, the Wii U is turned off while patching IOS 80, your vWii will be bricked. This can be fixed by either extracting the IOS 80 from your previously made NAND backup and then replacing it over FTP or by [reinstalling IOS 80](recover-vwii-ioses-channels).
1. Launch Patched IOS 80 Installer for vWii.
2. Read the warning screen and wait 30 seconds.
3. Press any buttons to install.
4. Wait until it says <code>IOS80 <wbr>Installation <wbr>is <wbr>complete!</code>.
5. Press any button to exit.
!> Installing custom System Menu is a definite brick risk and you should always have an effective backup before installing one but when done right, won't brick the vWii.
!> Installing any IOS (including TED IOSes) or wads made for the original Wii on your vWii will brick it. WiiWare wads are fine, but some need to be converted to work.

## Finalizing Setup
Now that the required cIOSes and IOS80 patch have been applied, we are now going to finalize the setup.
### Additional Homebrew Apps
- **SaveGame Manager GX** allows you to backup and restore your saves and Miis, especially saves that can't usually be copied.
- **Nintendont** is a virtual machine that allows you to play Gamecube games.
- The **Open Shop Channel** is an appstore where you can download more apps.
### Additional Homebrew Apps - What You Need
- The latest release of [SaveGame Manager GX](https://hbb1.oscwii.org/api/v3/contents/SaveGame_Manager_GX/SaveGame_Manager_GX.zip)
- The `loader.dol`, `meta.xml` and `icon.png` of [Nintendont](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/Nintendont)
- The `Homebrew Browser.zip` of the [Open Shop Channel](https://hbb1.oscwii.org/api/v3/contents/homebrew_browser/homebrew_browser.zip)
### Additional Homebrew Apps - Extracting Files to the SD Card
1. Extract and copy the contents of `SaveGame_Manager_GX.zip` to the root of the SD card.
2. Follow the instructions in the link for copying Nintendont.
3. Extract the contents of the `homebrew_browser.zip` to the root of the SD card.

## Patching IOS 80 (Optional)
Patching IOS 80 allows you to have custom channels on the SD card, including wads. However, it is not required.
!> If for any reason, the Wii U is turned off while patching IOS 80, your vWii will be bricked. This can be fixed by either extracting the IOS 80 from your previously made NAND backup and then replacing it over FTP or by [reinstalling IOS 80](recover-vwii-ioses-channels).
1. Launch Patched IOS 80 Installer for vWii.
2. Read the warning screen and wait 30 seconds.
3. Press any buttons to install.
4. Wait until it says <code>IOS80 <wbr>Installation <wbr>is <wbr>complete!</code>.
5. Press any button to exit.
!> Installing custom System Menu is a definite brick risk and you should always have an effective backup before installing one but when done right, won't brick the vWii.
!> Installing any IOS (including TED IOSes) or wads made for the original Wii on your vWii will brick it. WiiWare wads are fine, but some need to be converted to work.

- **FSGetMountSource failed:** Same as -3 above, means no SD Card detected. Re-insert the SD and try again. This could also mean that the SD card is locked (Slider is down instead of up) or the SD card label is "WIIU", which is stated in the guide causes conflict.

- **FSOpenFile failed [...] payload.elf:** Missing payload file on SD. Make sure you have payload.elf in the wiiu folder.

## Finalizing Setup
Now that the required cIOSes and IOS80 patch have been applied, we are now going to finalize the setup.
### Additional Homebrew Apps
- **SaveGame Manager GX** allows you to backup and restore your saves and Miis, especially saves that can't usually be copied.
- **Nintendont** is a virtual machine that allows you to play Gamecube games.
- The **Open Shop Channel** is an appstore where you can download more apps.
### Additional Homebrew Apps - What You Need
- The latest release of [SaveGame Manager GX](https://hbb1.oscwii.org/api/v3/contents/SaveGame_Manager_GX/SaveGame_Manager_GX.zip)
- The `loader.dol`, `meta.xml` and `icon.png` of [Nintendont](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/Nintendont)
- The `Homebrew Browser.zip` of the [Open Shop Channel](https://hbb1.oscwii.org/api/v3/contents/homebrew_browser/homebrew_browser.zip)
### Additional Homebrew Apps - Extracting Files to the SD Card
1. Extract and copy the contents of `SaveGame_Manager_GX.zip` to the root of the SD card.
2. Follow the instructions in the link for copying Nintendont.
3. Extract the contents of the `homebrew_browser.zip` to the root of the SD card.
### USB Loaders
In order to play Wii games, you will need a USB loader. There are two popular loaders called WiiFlow Lite and USB Loader GX. Both can be found on [this site](https://wii.hacks.guide/wii-loaders).
### Installing Priiloader
Yes, Priiloader now works on vWii! The guide for installing it can be found [here](https://wii.hacks.guide/priiloader).
!> Priiloader versions before 0.10.0 do not work with vWii. Priiloader versions before 0.8.2 will brick your vWii.

## NAND Backup
In case anything goes wrong in the later process and your vWii ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
?> If you have recently made a NAND backup that includes SLCCMPT and OTP, feel free to skip this step.
1. Launch the [Wii U NAND Dumper](browser-exploit).
2. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **optional**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **optional**
3. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
4. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
5. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slccmpt.bin` and `otp.bin` files (and if you chose to go with a full backup, `seeprom.bin`, `slc.bin`, and `every mlc.bin.part` file) to your computer.
6. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.
7. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.

## Patching IOS 80 (Optional)
Patching IOS 80 allows you to have custom channels on the SD card, including wads. However, it is not required.
!> If for any reason, the Wii U is turned off while patching IOS 80, your vWii will be bricked. This can be fixed by either extracting the IOS 80 from your previously made NAND backup and then replacing it over FTP or by [reinstalling IOS 80](recover-vwii-ioses-channels).
1. Launch Patched IOS 80 Installer for vWii.
2. Read the warning screen and wait 30 seconds.
3. Press any buttons to install.
4. Wait until it says <code>IOS80 <wbr>Installation <wbr>is <wbr>complete!</code>.
5. Press any button to exit.
!> Installing custom System Menu is a definite brick risk and you should always have an effective backup before installing one but when done right, won't brick the vWii.
!> Installing any IOS (including TED IOSes) or wads made for the original Wii on your vWii will brick it. WiiWare wads are fine, but some need to be converted to work.
