Nusspli is a Homebrew app that allows you to download Wii U Games or VC injects directly on your Wii U. Speeds are limited to the Wii U so it takes a very long time.
Get the WUHB file (NUSspli-version#-Aroma file) and palce it in your WiiU/apps/ folder and make sure your Wii U is connected to the internet.

myrient has shut down, where do i get roms now
No me salen los archivos «custom IOS wads» para descargar ni en Windows o ios
Me puedes ayudar?
I'm in the MarioCube file downloading games, and I noticed 3 versions of the same game. For example, I see Carnival, Carnival (Rev 1), and Carnival (Rev 2). Which version do you recommend downloading? Rev 2?
hello
how exactly do i put the ds games from vimm lair onto the ds all homebrewing is done
cant find mario cart on mario cube
Silly question maybe but was there any reason you don't recommend Vimms lair for Gamecube/Wii games?
usually they are fine, but sometimes the roms are just bad, as in they just load a black screen no matter what. so i only use it for older than gamecube games now
could I have some help trying to run smash bros on my wii. I have split the file, and manually edited the files instead of using the backup manager, but when I plug my usb in three things can happen: the usb be loader crashes, bringing up a crash screen, when you load the game it brings you either to the wii menu or the homebrew menu. The channel appears on the menu, but it is blank but still shows the name of the game.
region
Im following along with the video but after loading all the apps on the SD card and openimg homebrew nothing shows up even after hitting 1 and selecting the SD slot the homebrew screen is empty
where are we supposed to get gamecube games?
Do you have an alternative to tiny Wii backup manager for chromeOS that’s all I have access to. It’s too old to run the experimental Linux stuff as well :-/
Is your latest wii u modding method posted on Mar14 2026 still reliable ?
yup
Hey. So I’ve successfully modded my Nintendo dsi, but I can’t figure out how to make the games a gba/ nds file. When you download off of the website what’s the next step? How do I make it one of those files?
if they are a zip file, you can extract them and then they will be the proper file type! .nds and .gba
Should the vimm site be crashing when i try and download stuff?
no, but if its currently not working, theres other options at least
why are the ds games I'm installing coming out as zip and not NDS format?
you can extract them after to get nds
Is there a way to get Wii U roms for emulators using those methods?
check out wiiu downloader link in the post (very bottom)
ive got to the point where when i click into the game (mario party 9) the start screen comes up for the game but when i press start the screen goes black. what could be causing this and how can i fix it?
Hi. When I open USB Loader GX it works for 1 or 2 minutes, then I get the Exception (dsi) error message. This happens everytime. Im using an sd card for the apps and external USB for the games. How would i fix this?
Where can we get the Wii games when myrient shuts down on the 31st.
what is everything i need to have on my sd card? i have all my games on a external HDD
use Tiny Wii Backup Manager to put games on your sd
I am having a problem with USB loader Gx. When I go into it, all it shows me is a white screen with 2 rounded rectangles with them being on the bottom left and right. The thing is, the usb stick I used is compatible ( it is a PNY 16 gb). I do have one game on it. I don’t know what to do. Also, if there is no USB stick, it just puts all the apps from my home menu to the Wii. I also don’t have preloaded, but I will install it soon. Pls help.
if usb loader gx is bugged out, then it's definitely your usb. The compatibility list isn't always guaranteed to be accurate as manufacturers change the design of the flash drives over the years, and updates with usb loader gx may change the compatibility outcome compared to previous ones. I'd suggest using a different to see if that helps
Every time I upload a game to the Tiny Wii Backup Manager, and I take the sd card out of the computer, it deletes the game from the wbfs folder, how do I fix this
double check your sd is not write locked, and make sure it's fully transferred over before ejecting the SD. it shouldn't be dissapearing unless its a faulty sd or corrupted
Hello! I’ve got my games downloaded but I’m kind of confused on where to go from here, how do I unzip the files?
Hola una pregunta para instalar el juego mario kart 8 que esta en la carpeta de nintendo wii u es de la misma manera que los de la carpeta wii y por otro lado el juego de mario kart 8 deluxe no esta disponible no? Gracias
my usb gx isn't booting up, it keeps trying to but then kicking me back to the home screen. I also cannot launch my home brew app as it gets stuck on the software must not be sold screen, but I can launch every other app just fine. any recommendations?
same here, just redo the jailbreak process
After a first loading into a game, i can not start it one more time, because of black screen. What should i do?
I'm having trouble getting my wii to boot up these wii games from myrient. I followed all the steps in the latest guide but it still won't boot. USB is compatible and is formatted as fat32. All games have been downloaded from myrient, unzipped then tossed into Tiny Wii backup manager and then placed onto my USB. The games do pop up on USB loader GX but once I start them it goes to a black screen.
since they are black screening, it could be worth trying a different source to see if that changes anything. Also on that compatibility list, it may sometimes have inaccuracies because companies change the manufacturing process sometimes. so you could also maybe try a different one to see
Hi. I am having problems with downloading games onto my wii. wii backup manager does not work even if the files are formatted wbfs. So i formatted the games manually and the games did not show up on the usb gx.
It sounds like the usb drive your using is not compatible
Hey I’m having trouble trying to install bootmii I have the option to do both bootmii iOS and bootmii 2 but then when I install it says sd card error
double check your SD is not write-locked. Also make sure it's formatted as fat32
does the game file have to be my region for example the game beyblade metal fusion battle fortress only has USA, not EU will the game work for me
It's best to use games of your own region, but ulgx is region free so as long as setup is good, games should work
i have wbfs files of mario kart and super smash while having disc wii u mario kart 8 how do i mod these games i been trying eveyrthing and just get stuck on black screen then loads normally into the game
it may depend on the mod and there are different processes for wii or wii u games
Where can I go to install wii games piracy. Idk where the links are at

Hey FS47, i was able to get homebrew and everything on my wife's new Wii. Unfortunately I had a black screen when loading the games. I will be getting the games from a different place, but I had a quick question. My USB that I loaded all my games onto is 256GB but the format is limiting it to 32GB, is there a way around that? I see on here and other places that everyone has larger storages but I'm not sure how to format it but stay with the storage size
Hey Hugo! It defintely seems like an issue with the game files, but double check that your 256gb is formatted as fat32. Did you use a program to set the games up? which one?
I just got a jailbroke wii for christmas, it has a 64gig sd card and im seeing from past comment i should buy a new bigger sd instead of deleting the games. Because i wana get different games on it. I am looking at the skylander games on Myrient; there are 2 USA versions of each. Do i chose the "Rev 1" version or the non rev 1 version?
it shouldn'ty matter which rev you get, but you can look up what was added in rev 1 or which is most recent! Also you can transfer all the games from the existing sd if you want to, and they should work while also giving you more space :)
If my regions not on any of the games, what do I do?
Hey all, I'm a bit of an old lady and I was just wondering where we get the Wii games from to download, I have resurrected my Wii from the loft and managed to get it all set up and to do the Mod hack thanks to Funkyscott47 who has managed to teach an old dog new tricks so thank you. I just don't have any games is there a website to download from - go easy on me if I'm being stupid (seriously I'm older than your mothers) just any advice would be appreciated - many thanks
Hi Joy! I'm glad i can help get your wii set up! If you click the linktree link at the top of this post, it will take you to a page with multiple sites to get wii games from :)
Hey FunkyScott, thanks for the previous help. I do however have another problem. You see i only own a smaller sd card. I have downloaded a few games on it and want a few more. I got the games into the sd card and downloaded them on my wii. As you have shown in one of your videos. Is it now possible for me to delete the games from the sd card and download new ones onto it, without damaging the current games on the wii. I have no idea if it is going to affect the downloaded games on the wii.
you can only play the games that are currently on your SD. So I'd recomend buying a new larger SD, and trandsferring everything to that one (make sure its fomratted to fat32 first) and then add more games to that one
Hello I'm having trouble getting my gamecube games to show on ULGX or Nintendont the usb drive I'm using i a WD My passport 25E1. Wii games are showing up just fine, also do I still need to install the custom OSes because I just had to hard rest my whole wii because I lost my orginal NAND bacukup but have since made a new one
is your HDD formatted as fat32? it needs to be in order for gcn games to show up. and if your games stopped working then you need to reinstall cios but if not then you dont
Hi Funkyscott, i see that some other people had problems putting games into the wii backup manager. I took some files/games from your patreon site and they are rvz files. Then you responded: " If they are rvz then you have to use Tiny Wii backup manager" i was just wondering how to do that. You got a video or some kind of guide, please help :(
Check the link in the post for the tiny Wii backup manager video!
i can't find any wii games :(
How come? There's multiple sites that work on the link tree, which did you try?
after i download the games and try and input them into Wii backup manager it doesn't allow me to transfer them.
If they are rvz then you have to use Tiny Wii backup manager
How can I get the folder that contains the games pls ?
Link tree
So I followed the tutorial on playing ps games on Wii. The download link you said to open in the video opened a different looking page. So I downloaded the file and transferred the files to my hardrive as you described. But when I opened up the files there's no isos folder do I create my own. Infact there's a couple of files missing that you show on your tutorial.
that video is quite old now (i need to make an updated one) but for the isos folder you can create your own to put the games in
Good evening. I've just watched the vid about playing PlayStation games on the Wii. My question is I did the Wii mod tutorial and notice that there are emulators you can download are these ok to use do they work ok. And once downloaded how do you use them. ? Do you just put all your games together on a hard drive and it chooses the emulator for you.
most of the time you can have your games for a specifc emulator in a folder on your usb or sd, and then download the emulator, and that should be all you need to play!
Is Wii MotionPlus required? If it is, does it have to be a Wii Remote with MotionPlus built-in, or is the MotionPlus accessory also acceptable?
it will depend on the game you are trying to play. for instance Wii Sports does not require Wii motion plus but Wii Sports Resort does.
I downloaded it, but it’s in RVZ format. I converted it to ISO using Dolphin, and then tried to convert it to WBFS with Wii Backup Manager, but it gets stuck at 0% and doesn’t progress.
I highly recommend using Tiny Wii Backup manager instead of "Wii Backup Manager" as it has better support for RVZ files. Check the links in the post for that guide!
Good afternoon I wanted to sign up for a membership but it was asking me what I create Im not a creator just want a membership for help and modding insight. Is there a membership for people just starting.
Hi so I'm a pensioner just getting in to modding which I find interesting, frustrating and relaxing. So I've modded my wii all was going well even baked up my discs I got a great sense of achievement from this. But then I tried loading a disc tonight it said it was loaded even showed the cover art but when I tried to load it the screen was blank I tried with a couple more discs same result. Mmm so I tried down loading the files again except the homebrew channel and the loader but it doesn't work. So do I need to remove and reload homebrew if yes how. And then start again what do you think. I think I may benefit from a subscription in I'm going to make a hobby out of this. Oh did I mention I recently bought 25 Wii consoles I'm going to mod them hopefully. So any advice would be great. Regards Clive
First off, welcome to the modding scene!! When it comes to USB Loader GX, some usb drives are not compatible and prevent a smooth experience. There is a compatibility list here of tested ones https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/USB_Devices_Compatibility_List Or, in my full guide to mod your Wii video I have links to the USBs that i know for sure work to save you the hassle. it's probably the most common issue in the realm of wii modding , unfortunately, but with enough persistence, you'll find one that works!
what is the tiny wii back up manager and where do I get please.
I'll link it here! I'll be releasing a video on it very soon :) https://github.com/mq1/TinyWiiBackupManager/releases/tag/4.0.2
