There are several packers included in this repo. Using git clone will copy the entire repo to your computer, but you need enough room for that, and you need to know how to use Git. Make sure to unplug the USB drive with homebrew on it when in vWii or while the Wii U is turned off, and plug back in any drives that the Wii U games and software use, before playing Wii U games and software, to avoid accidentally losing data.ĭownload the master branch of my GitLab repo. Note for vWii users: If you go to the Wii U menu, a prompt to format the drive with your homebrew for vWii will appear. You may also choose to store other homebrew on there.

If you plan on using an emulated NAND, a USB drive with no less than 8 GB is recommended.

Note that some homebrew exploits require SD instead of SDHC in order to work! You'll also need an SD card reader for your PC, if it doesn't already have one. If your Wii is SDHC compatible (Wii version 4.3 or Wii U any version), 4 GB minimum is recommended for storing your songs (and possibly an emulated NAND).

If you are using the real NAND on your Wii/vWii, you'll want a compatible SD card.

Make sure to configure WINE to have access to your SD card and project folders before starting! You can try to use WINE on Linux or something similar on Mac, but the results may vary.

A computer with Windows XP 64-bit or higher on it (Windows 7 and up recommended).

Be careful, as some Wii-specific software may not work on vWii, and can brick vWii or even the entire Wii U! You'll need to boot into Wii Mode (vWii) in order for this to work. The Wii Mini is not easy to hack, so this will not be covered in this tutorial. Most instructions are written with these consoles in mind, so hacking Rock Band on these platforms should come easily.

An original Wii, or the Wii Family Edition.
