You can install Wii U games to the internal memory, but not SD card. For an external drive it will be formatted to only hold Wii U games and nothing else. A program can be used to turn regular Wii ISOs and WADs into a Wii U image (including forcing various settings, like Gamepad play) in order to put them on the same HDD as your Wii U games. That also let's you launch them directly from the WiiU menu without having to enter vWii mode and use a Wii remote.

AFAIK there's no way to upscale Wii games beyond what the vanilla built-in Wii mode will do. There may be a way to force 4:3/16:9 mode to a Wii ISO but other than that I don't remember any resolution settings.

yea bummer about wii stuff, i wonder if thats something some ones working on. I remember, eons ago now right before the wii launched, the press were doing their reviews and some one, i think on destructoid, was going through it and they mentioned that there was an option in the menus for 720p but it was for component cable only and of course they werent out yet. When the system launched the day one patch removed that option and i have always thought that was a bummer ever since. there were pics and everything but i cant find anything about it any more.

oh well, but yea i'll keep using discs where i can. GC i cant it seems so i'll have to dig out my old IDE drive that can read them and rip em that way when i get to it. i feel like there should be a way for the Wii u to read those too if they can read regular wii discs

Just as a heads up in case you're wondering, there was a firmware update for the Wii U a few months ago and you can't go online unless you updated. I hadn't touched any updates since I installed the Tiramisu mod a year or two ago.

The process to disable Tiramisu, update the firmware, then put everything back the way it was took maybe 3 minutes and was painless as can be.

i also haven't started the mod yet either, somethings came up. mainly trying to find a place of my own to live but the market is pretty wack here
