I suppose it's a bit early to ask about this, since nobody should have a WiiU in their hands yet. But I'm curious: Will having homebrew installed (and not fully updated ioses or patched ioses) cause the Wii-to-WiiU transfer of digital downloads from the Wii Shop Channel to pitch a fit? I would guess that it would force a system update at the very least. On the other end of the spectrum, if Nintendo doesn't put any enforcement into the transfer process, it might be possible for pirates to "transfer" unlawfully-installed games. I'd like to transfer my WiiWare collection to my WiiU when I get it, but if I have to mess with my Wii's homebrew installation, update my system menu, or update any ioses, I'll have to just leave it alone and not transfer anything.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71747#msg-71747Tue, 11 Aug 2026 06:56:55 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71859#msg-71859 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71859#msg-71859 tueidj Homebrew GeneralMon, 19 Nov 2012 17:27:13 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71858#msg-71858 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71858#msg-71858
I've got the HBC and Riivolution installed on my Wii.... kinda would like to transfer my Wii stuff to my WiiU but obviously no idea how the aforementioned homebrew will effect things?]]> Mokong Homebrew GeneralMon, 19 Nov 2012 14:42:30 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71844#msg-71844 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71844#msg-71844translate.google.com]

Since this Q&A page from Nintendo says it requires a 512MB SD card or greater to do the migration, I don't think it's just moving a few Miis and text files. I don't remember where I saw it, but someone online was speculating that this might mean a complete copy of the Wii's NAND gets moved to the WiiU. I can only imagine that this would be a nightmare for someone like me with a StartPatched system menu, a bunch of non-updated ioses, no ios stubs, and BootMii boot2.]]> kobalobasileus Homebrew GeneralSun, 18 Nov 2012 01:06:21 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71778#msg-71778 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71778#msg-71778 tueidj Homebrew GeneralFri, 09 Nov 2012 07:17:41 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71777#msg-71777 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71777#msg-71777www.ign.com]

This article seems to imply that there is no actual data that moves between the consoles on the local network. It also seems like it will be a PITA to move large amounts of stuff. I own more WiiWare than will fit on my Wii at any given time, so I assume I'll have to do this process more than once, while shuffling data between my Wii's SD card and internal NAND each time.]]> kobalobasileus Homebrew GeneralFri, 09 Nov 2012 03:40:02 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71756#msg-71756 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71756#msg-71756 owen Homebrew GeneralTue, 06 Nov 2012 17:27:09 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71747#msg-71747 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,71747,71747#msg-71747
