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

|
|
## SD Preparations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your SD Card will need to be formatted as FAT32. If your SD Card is not formatted to FAT32, use [GUIFormat](http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm) 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.

If you haven't already, make sure you did a [nand backup](https://wiiu.hacks.guide/#/tiramisu/nand-backup) and have the [Aroma Enviorment](https://aroma.foryour.cafe/) installed on your Wii U. Otherwise, proceed to [Installing Aroma](https://wiiu.hacks.guide/#/aroma/getting-started) or [Modding the vWii without modding the Wii U side](wiiu-nand-dumper)

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: When installing Wii homebrew applications on your SD Card or USB drive, your folder structure should look like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
💾 SD Card
|
||
|
|
┗ 📁 apps
|
||
|
|
┣ 📁 AppName1
|
||
|
|
┃ ┣ 📄 boot.dol
|
||
|
|
┃ ┣ 📄 meta.xml
|
||
|
|
┃ ┗ 📄 icon.png
|
||
|
|
┗ 📁 AppName2
|
||
|
|
┣ 📄 boot.dol
|
||
|
|
┣ 📄 meta.xml
|
||
|
|
┗ 📄 icon.png
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`AppName1` and `AppName2` are placeholder names. Do not nest multiple `apps` folders inside the `apps` folder itself.
|
||
|
|
Do not Get confused with the `apps` folder inside of the `wiiu` folder and the `apps` folder on the root of the SD card.
