Nintendo Wii Homebrew & Apps

Start with your Wii model

  1. Identify the consoleCheck whether you have a Wii / Family Edition, Wii mini or Wii mode on Wii U. An already modified system should use the guide’s existing-homebrew route.
  2. Prepare storage and homebrew accessFollow the selected exploit to install the Homebrew Channel. The Wii guide lists what SD or USB storage each model can use.
  3. Make the documented backupCreate and keep the console backup specified by the guide, then complete its Priiloader and model-specific cIOS sections before using loaders.

Choose storage for your model

Wii · RVL-001 / RVL-101

Use the Wii route in the maintained guide and a working Homebrew Channel. These app packages use FAT32 SD or compatible USB storage. GameCube ports exist only on RVL-001.

SD:/apps/app/boot.dolUSB:/apps/app/boot.dol

Wii Mini · RVL-201

Use the Mini-specific setup route. A stock Mini has no SD slot or Wi-Fi: use a compatible FAT32 USB drive. Network features and GameCube-port features are separate hardware limitations, even when an app supports Mini.

USB:/apps/app/boot.dol

Wii U · vWii

Install homebrew through the vWii route, then launch these Wii builds from the vWii Homebrew Channel. Use FAT32 SD or a compatible FAT32 USB device; Wii U-formatted storage is different. Ordinary vWii homebrew does not automatically support the Wii U GamePad.
