Is it possible to use this with the wiiu console, or only with PC?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, use the SSSL (hackles) setup: https://pretendo.network/docs/install/wiiu#sssl

This doesn't require homebrew, all you need is changing the DNS address on the WiiU from the system setting.

Very cool. Looks good - I will try it.

SSSL does not currently work

I recall you commenting on one of our posts about your son playing Splatoon 1, I really hope he's able to play soon

For the moment, you need to install custom firmware to play Splatoon 1, linking official statement since not many people have been reporting on it (even us)
