### Homebrew

> 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

> 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.

### Hva Homebrew & CFW Kan Brukes Til
>
> Among other things, it allows you to do the following:
> 
> - Use “ROM hacks” for games that you own.
> - Backup, edit and restore saves for many games.
> - Play games for older systems with various emulators, using RetroArch or other standalone emulators.
> - Play out-of-region games.
> - Dump your Wii U game discs to a format that can be installed on your internal or external Wii U storage drive.


### Målet Med Guiden

> This guide has the end goal of taking a completely unmodified Wii U from stock to Custom Firmware.

### Før Du Starter

!> Før du starter guiden, må du være klar over risikoen ved å hacke en Wii U konsoll: HVER gang du endrer systemfiler, kan du potensielt "BRICKE" konsollen. Det skjer sjeldent, men det er fortsatt mulig hvis du gjør no galt så følg ALLE punktene NØYAKTIG.
>
> This guide will work on all Wii U consoles in all regions on firmware 5.5.4 or below.
> 
> You will need the following in order to successfully follow this guide:
> 
> - An SD Card.
> - A device such as a computer to place files onto the SD Card.
> - A Wii U with internet access.
> 
> 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.

Hvis du følger guiden riktig, vil du fortsatt ha alt du startet med (spill, NNID, saves, osv blir bevart).

La Wii U konsollen og gamepad være tilkoblet til strøm under hele prosessen for å unngå datatap eller skade ved ett uventet strømbrudd.

Utenom CBHC, så er ikke Custom Firmware permanent aktivt med nåværende metoder og vil bli deaktivert når du starter konsollen på nytt.

Det anbefales at du leser igjennom hele guiden fra start til slutt, minst én gang før du setter igang med å modifiserere konsollen din.
