Libretro is an API that exposes generic audio/video/input callbacks.Ī frontend for libretro (such as RetroArch) handles video output, audio output, input and application lifecycle.Ī libretro core written in portable C or C++ can run seamlessly on many platforms with very little to no porting effort.

These programs are instantiated as dynamic libraries. Popular examples of implementations for this API includes video game system emulators and game engines as well as Would you like to sell your dead console? Not the gamepad (unless you want to sell that too), but just the console itself?RetroArch is the reference frontend for the libretro API. My Wii U is still perfectly fine by the way. But I can't do anything with a dead Wii U if it's a hardware failure of course. If I do find a way to do that, I'll be able to repair the 2 Bricked Wii U consoles that I got from friends of mine.īasically I'm just experimenting with dead Wii U consoles. I'm looking into using a nand backup from another console, or just a way to restore a bricked Wii U back to stock, with nothing on the Nand at all but the stock files. I'm still doing my research about the Hard Mod. The only difference is the console will be completly wiped of all data.īut I'm still not 100% sure how all that works, if it's even possible to repair a bricked Wii U without a nand backup for that specific console. I think it's still possible to fix a bricked Wii U without a nand backup. I'm trying to buy a bunch of dead Wii U consoles to repair them with a Hard Mod. However, im not 100% positive it will fix your problem, I never had a problem like that on my Wii U.Ĭlick to expand.Would you like to sell your dead console? Not the gamepad (unless you want to sell that too), but just the console itself? Thats not exactly what that is for, but it may work for your situation. There is more information on that Support Page, so make sure you check it out to see if you can boot into vWii, then try getting into WiiU mode from there. I got this information from Nintendo's Support Site.

If that works and your able to boot straight into vWii, try to launch the Wii U Menu from vWii. Power on the Wii U console and then press and hold down the B Button on the Wii U GamePad, Wii Remote, or Wii U Pro Controller when you see the Wii U logo splash screen. If so, then you might be able to Boot Straight into vWii from the start of the Wii U Logo on Boot. When you try booting the Wii U, does it get to the Wii U Logo? It may give me a message telling how to 'Properly' shutdown the console next time, but it never gives me a problem. I would hard reset my Wii U by holding the console's Power Button for a few seconds, but when I turn it back on it boots up just fine. Thats weird, when it comes to modding and messing around with different things, I always have to hard reset my Wii U once in awhile, especially when messing around with TCP Gecko and Cheats.
