CFW Uses {docsify-ignore-all}
Wondering what you can do with CFW on your Wii U?
We've made a list of basic things you can do with CFW.
Dump and Install Your Wii U Game Discs
You can dump your Wii U game discs to your SD Card using disc2app and then install said dumps using WUP Installer GX2 either to the NAND or to a Wii U formatted USB drive.

Backup and Restore Your Games' Save Data
You can use SaveMii Mod to backup, restore and delete your games' save data. You can also import your games' save data from Loadiine.
?>You will need to launch a CFW (Mocha, Haxchi or CBHC) before launching SaveMii Mod.
Make and Install Virtual Console Injections
You can make Virtual Console injects with Injectiine for Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Nintendo 64 (N64), GameBoy Advance (GBA) and Nintendo DS (NDS) games. And TeconMoon's WiiVC Injector for Wii and GameCube games.
Virtual Console injects can be installed either to the NAND or to a Wii U formatted USB drive and can be run from the Wii U Menu.
You will also need to launch a CFW (Mocha, Haxchi or CBHC) in order to run said Virtual Console injects.
?> DSi enhanced games are not and will never be compatible with Nintendo's Virtual Console emulator.
Mod your vWii
You don't need to mod your vWii if you only want to play Wii and GameCube games, VC injects will work even with an unmodded vWii since those are run from the Wii U Menu.
But if you want to manage your copy protected games' save data, mod your games, cheat and more, you will need to mod your vWii.
