Does injecting into apps still work? How did you format your drive?

It does work. It's the best way to install older system's games because you can install them on the same drive as Wiiu games.

Yeah here's a Google Doc I made a couple of years ago when I was figuring out Wii U homebrew/hacking should it be of use:

I haven't needed to update it for a while, so I am probably using a semi-old way to do this. I am still on tiramisu for the hack loader, I am just seeing right now there's a more recent one (Aroma?) with new features. I don't know much about that.

My drive is just an external HDD with Wii U's standard formatting (though I have a Y cable for it, since one Wii u usb port is not enough to power those). It's literally the same HDD I already used before hacking the console.

I have cleanrip on the virtual Wii to dump Wii and GC discs on a SD, then on PC teconmoon injector to make a virtual console channel from them. Then I install them with Wup Installer GX2 on the Wii U system itself. For GC you need Nintendont on the virtual Wii for controller support etc.

I don't remember the name for the homebrew that dumps Wii U discs right now, but it's even more direct since it creates a Wup to install.

Edit : got my wires a bit crossed in here, I do rip and inject my GC games too, but I can't rip them with the Wii U, that drive can't read them. I still have an actual Wii with cleanrip to do that. Otherwise it's the same process.
