Basically the title. I have like 32 games that are all US Cd's and my US Wii got bricked from modding it lol! How can I get them to work on the Wii U?

It seems like the browser doesnt even work anymore, whenever I look something up it just reloads without doing anything.
CAT-R units like RVT-R have their own writers, but unfortunately I can't find available information about this device anywhere, except that compared to the RVT-R Writer, this device plugs into the SATA port like a normal disk drive. So if anyone owns one of these, can you please send a picture of it?
I'm trying to post this a second time because for literally no reason, the first time I tried the post glitched out and says "removed" and isn't readable. No, not an automod response, just a random incident. So sorry, not trying to spam, just trying to make the site work.
I'll try to keep it brief. I own a black Wii U that I've had a few years and homebrewed pretty much as soon as I got it. It has the homebrew channel on it but I lost the SD card which I used, so anytime I boot the homebrew channel I get an error code. Before it was "-3" and since putting in a new SD card, it's "-5".
Clearly I'm gathering here that I'm missing the necessary files or folders etc. on the SD card for the launcher to run properly. I cannot anywhere on find anything covering how to repopulate a new SD card for use with the homebrew channel and I don't want to go through the tumultuous process of uninstalling and reinstalling homebrew and risk a system brick.
So, essentially, I need for someone to provide me with instructions or preferably a download of what all I need to put on a new, freshly formatted SD card to make the Homebrew channel work again.
I have 5.5.5 U if that's relevant. Thanks in advance.
It has no sd cards or other apps so what’s my next move ? Wanna get all Nintendo games for my son to play
Can someone point me in the right direction
When I tired to put my sd card in the wii u, it started to say it failed then i turn off the wii u and check if the sd was locked but it wasnt, btw do have a new sd card to put all my backup in the new sd card and it still saying the same thing, if someone can help me thanks 👍.
How do I get my men.pack and men2.pack files? I didn't back up the original wii u menu theme..
stuck with this ugly vintage colour
So I find a wii u without an SD Card, I turned it on, it was homebrewed and I don't know how to remove it without the SD. Can anyone help me out with this please?
i have a japanese wii u and hacked it and region changed it now im trying to do the same for the vwii. i got the ftpiiu on aroma but when i connect it to my computer i cant find the "setting.txt" file anywhere. if someone could help id appreciate it thank you
This is going to sound dumb but; I'm new to modding and I just managed to mod the Wii U and installed Aroma by following the wiiu hacks guide to completion.
What are the main things I can do with it now? Is there a website or YouTuber I should check out for inspiration? I'm thinking to add a frontend that displays box art for like NES / SNES games etc.
Anything like that doable on WiiU/Aroma? (Sorry about all the questions I'm really new to this)
I bought a used Nintendo wii u and it has hacxhi but the seller gave it to me without an sd card and im thinking if i do the udpih reset it will come clean the system and i can homebrew it again or im screwd??
hello ive been googling and cant seem to find proper intstructions for changing vwii region/language. i bought a wii u from japan and changed the language using the wiiu.hacks tutorial but cant seem to find the tutorial for the vwii. if someone could point me in the right direction id greatly appreciate it. :)
Used it to load boot.elf to download ctgp on my vwii, but want to restore it do my mum can make a mii of herself, because she doesn't want to be Peter griffin
I encountered a softlock in Wind Waker HD due to Medli walking into a room she is used to open and then not being able to walk out, if after this you save your game you´ve successfully soflocked your savefile and the game is now unbeatable, after trying save modifiers, modding the game and even using Hex Editors, I could not fix it, it is practically impossible.
Now, I´m making this post for everyone that´s going through this problem too and I guess it would also help anyone with a similar softlock around this part of the game, I´m providing the most acceptable answer I found, which is just replacing your savefile.
WARNING: This only works on an actual modded Wii U, I´m not sure if it would work the same in an emulator and the version I used is the USA version, I´m not sure if it would work with other versions but you´re free to try.

Hope this helps somebody.
Is there any chance now that Banjo Tooie is on Switch Online and runs smoothly that someone could dump and use the config.ini from that version to improve the wii u injection of it? The framerate is horrible on wii u as is, and the jiggywiggy puzzles are glitched.
Wondering how to switch back to pretendo plaza I accidentally reset it in the inkay settings only loading into default plaza
This happens anytime I try to open my sd card in RetroArch.
Hello everyone,
About a year ago I installed CFW (first Tiramisu and then Aroma) on my 32 GB WiiU, while backing up I saw 5 retry, I didn't worry too much because the backup was completed, but I still took a picture of the error.
Photo of the error: https://imgur.com/a/8vA6lqZ
To prepare for an eventual death of the chip what do you recommend I do in addition to backup with savemii, is it useful to make another memory backup?
If the chip dies I will install an sd with the Interposer with the SDIO guide.

Thank you for your help.
My girlfriend got a Wii U and I modded it for her (Aroma CFW), so far everything seems to run fine but I want to protect the console against any possible bricks. I read that ISFShax, if previously installed, could help repair many bricks without having to solder but I'm also afraid to install it because i read it may cause a brick if I screw up somewhere along the process. So I just wanted to know if you guys think it would be worth the risk installing it? (Our Wii U has Samsung NAND)
I found this plugin online https://github.com/capitalistspz/gamepadtopro/releases It seems to have added support for 2 gamepads to be used at once (as pro controller i assume) I havent managed to get it working. Do yall have any way to fix it?
My brother modded it years ago and doesn't remember what he did to get it there. We're trying to remove it to sell the WiiU.
If anyone can help, please. I have no knowledge on these kinds of things
I just received another junk 32g Japanese Wii U, and this screen shows up right after the Wii U logo on boot-up. When this screen appears, I hear background music for 5 to 10 seconds, and the system seems to function somewhat, but then it freezes checked the rear fan, and it's not spinning, so I initially thought it might be an easy fix--just replacing the fan. However, after searching online, I found that being stuck on this 'factory reset?' screen can be a symptom of a failing eMMC Again, it freezes on this screen. Does anyone have any ideas?"
I’ve never modded anything, but I was watching videos and thought it would be cool to mod my childhood Wii u, and was wondering what I would need to do it, I know I need an sd card but I don’t know if you need anything else, do i
