Hello, Sorry for this thread if it's redundant but it seemed useful to me. I'm a beginner in WiiU hacking, I've read all the sticky topics (and many non sticky ones) here and on other sites, and I'd like to summarize all the information we have today about hacking Wiiu and vWii and playing Gamecube, Wii and WiiU games and homebrews. With your help, this thread could become a simple guide for new people arriving on this forum and wondering (like me) what they have to do and in which order. (which is generally not very clear on the other threads) So please correct me if I say something wrong and complete me if I forgot something last update: 18 january 2016 - Latest WiiU firmware: Barcode Label Maker Crack on this page. 5.5.1 - Latest safe WiiU firmware version: 5.3.2. - Some WiiU backups can be played on firmwares 5.3.2 and lower, using Loadiine. - IOSU is being developed for firmwares 5.5.1 and lower. - Stay on 5.3.2 if you want to use current exploits.
