#155096 This is just UNACCEPTABLE!

Posted by johnodd4 on 01 January 2013 - 11:27 PM in Wii U Hardware Help

Actually i am sorry to say the wii u gamepad stays on even if you are in wii mode now the reason everyone is guessing this for is because nintendo might release a update for the wii emulator to use the gamepad but nothing has been confirmed yet

#155097 Not able to play Super Mario U with 2 players using Gamepad and Remote

Posted by johnodd4 on 01 January 2013 - 11:31 PM in Wii U Hardware Help

You can use a gamepad and wii remotes it does work here is what you do

press connect on the front of the wii u console it is the red button that syncs the gamepad and the wii remotes to the console also you need a wii remote with wii motion plus regular wii remotes wont work

thats it you need to make sure both wii remotes can operate in wii mode if they cannot then you didn't sync the remotes right

#155100 Wii U: Video drop off fix

Posted by johnodd4 on 01 January 2013 - 11:39 PM in Wii U Hardware Help

this fix is for users that with longer component cables are experiencing video out and on issues during games like just dance 4 the video would cut out then come back on this is due to the fact the wii u doesn't have enough power to run third party component cables the cable must be 7 1/2 inches for a third party cable or use the nintendo issued component cable.

or build your own here is how.

Here is the article

How to repair the nintendo wii component cable signal loss for the wii u and get stereo surround sound for your gaming pleasure

Items you will need:

1. a wii component cable also known as a d-terminal component cable

2. New component cables to wire onto the cable.

3. rca male connectors

4. rca female connectors

5. rca cable for audio

6. rca cable adapter referred to as a male to male adapter or female to female adapter if you wired it a different way

7. soldering iron

8. solder

9. heat shrink or electrical tape your choice

Why do we need to do this.

Well as we have all noticed on the wii u theres no optical out for the sound the surround sound only works through hdmi which means you have to spend 124.99 for a adapter to send the sound from the hdmi to the surround sound receiver which is rediculus when you can use 5.1 stereo surround sound through the d-terminal on the wii u console which no one is aware of.

Why do we need to hack the cable for.

if the d-terminal cable is two long you will lose video and audio signal from the wii u console because the console doesn't have enough power to keep the signal strength up on the console so by shortening the cable from 15 feet to only 7 1/2 feet we can fix this issue.

Does this mean my wii u won't display into hd???

No you will still have hd. component and hdmi work the same way same color codes of wires almost except hdmi has a bunch of signal upload wires and download wires that are a mess to deal with the console still displays in 1080i and 1080p no problems with component.

Awesome where do i begin.

Step 1 preparing your cables.

i highly recommend gold plated connectors for this because a lot of component cables for the wii didn't come with them and gold plated makes better connections .

cut the end off of the component cable you will be using

shorten the wii d-terminal cable from 15 ft to 71/2 feet use a tape measure if necessary

strip the wires be careful not to screw up.

now get your rca connectors ready strip them and get them ready as well

Step 2 understanding color codes.

this is a simple process as long as you remember these key things video is pink audio is red and white if you remember these things you can build any component cable.

Now why is this important???

Well in component cables there are these colors.

audio:

Red
White

video:

Red
Blue
Green

But when you strip the wire it usually looks like this depending on who manufactured your cable.

Audio:

Red
White

Video:

Pink
Blue
Green

the reason for this is simple you don't want to hook the video signal up to the system audio line it will just hum and do damage to your speakers.

so if your rebuilding a cable you would wire it like this.

Video:

Pink = Red
Green = Green
Blue = Blue

Audio:

Red = Red Rca connector
White = White Rca connector

Step 3: soldering your connections

Key: take your time do a good job and don't rush one wrong connection and you have a issue especially if you solder two connections to one.

heat up your soldering gun or iron depending on your choice

once at full heat get ready to solder.

solder connections.

wrap with electrical tape or heat shrink which ever you prefer and try it out.

I recommend using just dance 4 on the wii u it seems to have the issue with the longer cable so if your video starts cutting in and out on the getting feely song in just dance 4 then you know you will have to shorten it shorter.

remember this is for stereo surround sound there is no need to select 5.1 surround sound in the wii u system settings because stereo on the wii u is stereo hd surround sound

#156867 Anyone else use headsets for Wii U?

Posted by johnodd4 on 06 January 2013 - 12:12 PM in Wii U Hardware

#156868 Are there any Downloadable Demos?

Posted by johnodd4 on 06 January 2013 - 12:16 PM in Wii U Games and Software Help

There is a lot of issues right now including without a system update the wii u wont accept dlc right now kinda funny because just dance 4 and assassins creed 3 both have dlc but no one can get it untill nintendo fixes the console

#156870 Am I the only one?

Posted by johnodd4 on 06 January 2013 - 12:19 PM in Wii U Games and Software Help

actually the dlc for just dance 4 will be availible sometime this month as for assassins creed 3 there are not a lot of people playing it because it has to be connected to uplay and if you are not 13 years of age or older you cannot sign up for uplay which left millions of wii u owners out in the cold so have fun with that one

#156880 How to backup/copy Wii U save data?

#156887 Save data: How to backup.

Posted by johnodd4 on 06 January 2013 - 12:58 PM in Wii U Games and Software Help

Here is how to backup your save data:

Please keep these in mind when doing this.

1. if you are transfering the data from one wii u to another make sure your account name is the same and your nintendo id are the same as the save file or it wont copy.

2. only certain titles allow copying.

Here is what you need.

1. a usb thumb stick 4 gb works fine

2. a wii u

3. the wii u you want to transfer to

4. your nintendo id and a new user account with the same name as the old user account on the broken or damaged wii u and the same mii design yes if you don't have a 3ds or wii remote to save and backup your mii your going to need it.

Warning this process is experimental at the least.

1. here is what you do plug in the usb thumb stick with the wii u off turn on the wii u.

2. once booted backup your mii first by selecting the mii channel on the wii u transfer it to the wii remote or a 3ds

3. now go into system settings select data management then select the console.

4. now click the title of the game listed

5. now inside the title you will notice theres game data which we dont need there is save data and user data those are what we need to backup.

6. select them select copy thats it.

once finished shut down the old wii u console

now go to the new one and connect the usb thumb stick start up the wii u for the first time create a account with the same name as the one from the old wii u and then log into your current nintendo id and your done now play the game once really quick to create save data now exit the game go into data management and select the console then select the game then delete the save data file once finished press back and back again and select the usb thumb stick select the title select the save data and copy it back.

This has confirmed working on fifa but havent tried it on anything else yet myself try it and see if it works

#157103 Untill the NNID is not tied to my account I wont buy digital

Posted by johnodd4 on 06 January 2013 - 10:51 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Actually this is where you are wrong the reason for the shop account is so you can redownload your purchases even on a new console the games are tied to your nintendo id not to the console its when you register the new console it disables the content on the other for piracy concerns

#157104 Save data: How to backup.

Posted by johnodd4 on 06 January 2013 - 10:57 PM in Wii U Games and Software Help

Actually not good work finding this out there are major problems still.

this is why this is experimental

i found out you have to transfer the game data as well as the save file to transfer all of the data from one machine to another but when attempting to copy the save only i found out you cannot on all titles except fifa very weird

Games i have tried.

1. super mario bros u

2. batman arkham city

3. call of duty black ops 2

4. just dance 4

5. and nintendo land

i can confirm copying the game data and the save data and the user data does work the question of which i dont have another wii u to test it with is will it transfer and work if the same user account name and mii is on the other console
