Most [[Emulators on Wii|emulators available for the Wii]] will also work on vWii (virtual Wii) mode on the Wii U, and some of them even support the Wii U Pro Controller or the Wii U Gamepad. However, due to sandboxing, there won't be any performance gains compared to running those emulators bare-metal on a Wii. In WiiVC inject mode you can slightly improve performance by overclocking with c2w_patcher and a patched c2w.img. | Most [[Emulators on Wii|emulators available for the Wii]] will also work on vWii (virtual Wii) mode on the Wii U, and some of them even support the Wii U Pro Controller or the Wii U Gamepad.

Please note that RetroArch isn't currently compatible with Aroma. Support for Aroma is being worked on. For now, in order to run RetroArch, you will have to use an older hack such as Tiramisu (Haxchi and Mocha also both work, but really shouldn't be used at this point). | Please note that RetroArch isn't currently compatible with Aroma.

Some have tried injecting alternate ROMs in the available Virtual Console releases with varying degrees of success. Similarly, despite no GCN officially released, gamecube games can be injected on the wiiu home menu, making use of the homebrew nintendont hypervisor. The emulators used internally for Virtual Console are not as accurate as other emulators so compatibility isn't perfect (the only exception are Wii and GCN since they run natively, not emulation).<br> | Some have tried injecting alternate ROMs in the available Virtual Console releases with varying degrees of success.

LiteNESU: one of the first homebrew programs for the Wii U. Barely a PoC. Slow, without sound, low compatibility. Can't load games from the scard. You'll have to host and load the game from the network, next to the payload, with the old browser method. Or, alternatively, bundle the roms inside the elf executable (16in1) at compilation time. You'd better use retroarch, or the injection method, or one of the emulators on the wii side like fceugx. | LiteNESU: one of the first homebrew programs for the Wii U. Barely a PoC.
