Wii VC Launch

Wii U plugin to enhance launching Wii VC titles and Wii Mode.

Features

Custom dialogs

  • Select a display option (TV Only, TV and GamePad, etc.) with any controller
  • Autolaunch into a specific display option bypassing all dialogs
    • Keep A pressed when launching a game to force open the Select a display option dialogs
    • Falls back to the GamePad screen if TV not connected

Original built in dialogs

  • Enables the GamePad sensor bar for built in dialogs
  • Allow using a Pro Controller to Select a display option in the built in dialogs

Video

  • Set the resolution to 480p, 720p, 480i, or 576i (including 4:3 variants)
    • Can be set separately for Wii VC and Wii Mode

Installation

Download the latest release from the Releases page by clicking on WiiVCLaunch.wps.
Copy the WiiVCLaunch.wps file into wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/plugins,
where [ENVIRONMENT] is the actual environment name (most likely 'aroma').

Usage

Open the plugin config menu by pressing L, DPAD Down and Minus on the GamePad, Pro Controller or Classic Controller, or B, DPAD Down and Minus on a Wii Remote.

Press B on any controller to back out of the custom dialogs.

If custom dialogs are disabled:

  • Autolaunch cannot be used
  • Set resolution can still be used

"Preserve SYSCONF on Wii VC title launch" and "Permanent Wii Internet Settings" (Disables Wii Internet Connection Settings overwrite) are useful in combination with Priiloader or Wii homebrew that can change the Internet Connection settings. If you don't have Priiloader installed you don't need to worry about them and can leave them both on false.

Building

For building you need:

then run make

Building using the Dockerfile

It's possible to use a docker image for building. This way you don't need anything installed on your host system other than Docker.

# Build docker image (only needed once)
docker build . -t wiivclaunch-builder

# make
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/project wiivclaunch-builder make

# make clean
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/project wiivclaunch-builder make clean
