Welcome to Wii & Wii U Homebrew & mods. This board is for legal homebrew and hardware projects on both consoles: the Homebrew Channel, BootMii, Priiloader, Aroma, USB loaders, community online services, and portable Wii builds.
What belongs here
• Setting up the Homebrew Channel, BootMii and Priiloader on the Wii.
• Aroma and homebrew on the Wii U, and modifying its Wii mode.
• USB loaders and Nintendont, used with your own dumped games.
• Community services that restore online play and channels.
• Homebrew apps, games and your own projects.
• Hardware mods: portable Wii builds, trimmed boards, HDMI mods, cooling and cosmetic projects.
What doesn't belong here
• If something has gone wrong and you need diagnosis, Help & troubleshooting may be quicker.
• Game and collecting chat goes in General discussion.
• GameCube-specific mods go in GameCube & N64.
The piracy rules
• No ISOs, WBFS files, WADs, game files, keys, common keys or firmware files, and no asking where to find them.
• No piracy-focused tools or "packs" that bundle game files.
• Dump your own discs and digital games from your own console, and keep them private.
Starter knowledge for the Wii
• Install BootMii and make a full NAND backup before anything else. Store it somewhere safe, off the SD card.
• Install Priiloader for brick protection. It can save a console that would otherwise be lost.
• Don't install random WADs, system menu changes or IOS files unless a current, trusted guide tells you to. These are the main causes of bricks.
• The Wii Mini needs different methods and has fewer options.
Starter knowledge for the Wii U
• Aroma is the current homebrew environment most people use. Methods depend on your system version, so follow the current guide.
• Back up your internal storage and keep it safe.
• The Wii mode has its own homebrew setup, separate from the Wii U side.
• Online play on a modified console carries risk. Don't cheat online.
Portable builds and hardware safety
• Portable Wii builds involve trimming the motherboard and fine soldering. Read existing build logs fully, and practise soldering first.
• Use lithium batteries with proper protection circuits, insulate everything, and never charge a swollen pack.
• Credit the designers of any boards, cases or guides you use, and post clear photos and a parts list.
• No selling consoles, parts or modding services here.
