SD Preparations

This page will guide you through the process of modding your vWii.

We will now start by placing the required Homebrew files on the SD Card.

?> Notice Your SD Card will need to be formatted as FAT32. If your SD Card is not formatted to FAT32, use GUIFormat with 32k (32768) Allocation unit size to format it. Do not label the SD Card as wiiu or it will cause issues with homebrew.

?> If you have hacked your Wii U in the past, you can use the same SD Card for this process.
