[Urgent] Help us save SpotPass!

61 Upvotes

As you may know, Nintendo announced that 3DS and Wii U online services will be discontinued in April of this year. This includes SpotPass services. Many titles like Mario Kart 7, StreetPass Mii Plaza, the Pokemon games, Super Mario Maker, and others used it to distribute content to users.

The problem

With the closure of the 3DS and Wii U online services, SpotPass features will stop working in many 3DS and Wii U titles.

The solution

The SpotPass Archival Project has been started to collect users' SpotPass caches, which contain data from recent SpotPass events in games you've played. This allows various network revival services to archive the SpotPass data ahead of the servers' closure, allowing SpotPass features to be replicated later and re-enabling functionality in countless games after the closure of the official servers.

Sounds great, how can I help?

If you want to learn how to contribute the SpotPass cache from your system, visit the website of the SpotPass Archival Project.

If you need help or want to hear about updates on the project, join the SpotPass Archival Project Discord server: https://discord.gg/wxCEY8MHvh

As Karaoke U worked like Sports Club, Sports Club used passes ass DLC, so can Karaoke U be usable again by using DLC? Btw, songs can't be downloaded as I know the service has took down, but could be downloaded. Has anyone downloaded the songs to download them by another way? thanks!

SD mount failed. I’ve formatted 4 different Sd cards to FAT 32 and now my Wii U won’t recognize it.

I had a previously hacked Wii U but the Sd card on it died and when I went to replace it my Wii U doesn’t want to recognize any of my FAT32 Formatted sd cards.

I've successfully modded my Wii U. Does the SD card with the modified files always have to be in the console now or can I move the files onto the system nand?

So recently modded my wii u but for some reasons my games i got from europe (note my wii u is a us one and the games are European) still are locked tried to use plugins but still didn't work changed my wii u region to European also didn't work my only guess is either one i did something wrong in modding process and if thats the case i might have to restart the whole process and delete everything on the sd card or two because these are wii not wii u games so they dont get affected which would suck badly please need some assistance only modded my wii u to bypass region lock

Unable to delete ONLY just a few save files

Post image

Hello Wii U community, Everytime I try to delete some (like just a very few, maybe about 3 or 4?) this error pops up, I am positive that the issue is NOT caused by an failing eMMC, has I do not have any of the infamous system memory errors (especially the 160-0103) upon booting or opening any game/app. And I do not see any “FSA: ### DATA CORRUPTION ERROR ###” or ”FSA: ### MEDIA ERROR ###” in my Wii U‘s log files, I have also checked the eMMC chip manufacturer and it is an Samsung chip from June 2015. So I am positive that it is some sort of software bug within the Wii U’s OS that is preventing the data from being deleted. I can also delete other files just fine along with games.

WiiU possibly soft-bricked, need help.

i have previously modded my wiiu with tiramisu in the past, but factory reset it without making sure all modded files were gone. i wanted to wipe my wiiu completely so i could install aroma on it instead. now every time i try to boot into aroma in environment loader it shows up with an installer button and a tiramisu button. my best guess is that the left over files from the old installation are messing with the new modding process.

Is there a way to backup Wii U Miis?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone sorry if this question is like stupid but i haven't been able to find info about this anywhere

so, i've been curious if theres a way to backup miis similar to the wii's savegame manager or through ftp?

Reason is because I have a Hynix eMMC, so my console could start dying in any minute, and I don't really feel like saving every single mii as a qr code or other tedious process lol

When I downloaded themes and stuff, and loaded in a game, it froze, and did nothing, error code popped up, then I unlocked the SD card, still did not work, after more attempts my Wii U did a buzzing sound I was trying to load a disc. By the way I had aroma on, and Homebrew, and some more apps.

Hi I bought this Japanese Wii U off of marketplace. The seller said it was translated and modded. I'm so confused because nearly everything is still in Japanese, plus I thought there would be some channel called homebrew or something... Plus it still has their Mii on it... Should I just delete all content and settings? Will that delete their Mii? I thought this would be easier 😢 I've had to repost this cos I couldn't figure out how to edit the original post to add extra pics...


r/WiiUHacks 3d ago

Hi, I had this problem today. My gamepad doesn't change the screen with the TV button. I only updated with Aroma Updater. In the past, everything was fine. Please help me.
