This page will guide you through the process of modding your vWii without modding the Wii U side.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your Wii U side is already modded, proceed to [Installing the Homebrew Channel](vwii-homebrew-channel)

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.

#### Section II - Launching the Exploit
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
|
||
|
|
{: .notice--info}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
|
||
|
|
2. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
|
||
|
|
3. Click on `Run Exploit!` and hold the B button until you see a screen that says `Please choose your payload:`, this will be necessary for the next steps.
|
||
|
|
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.
|
||
|
|
- If you see the EnvironmentLoader, you did not hold down B long enough. Try again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Section III - 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. 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**
|
||
|
|
2. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
|
||
|
|
3. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
|
||
|
|
4. 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.
|
||
|
|
5. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.
|
||
|
|
6. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
