The Wii U Homebrew App Store is a homebrew application developed for Wii U by VGMoose. It is a homebrew application that allows you to install homebrew to whatever storage device it is being run on via ForTheUsers. The latest version of it is currently 2.3.2, it can be downloaded here under wiiu-extracttosd.zip.

Materials Needed

Installation

  1. Download the HBAS for Wii U (wiiu-extracttosd.zip).
    • If you would like, save it to the storage device you are using for your Wii U.
  2. Extract the file that you previously downloaded. Copy the "wiiu" folder to your storage device, allowing it to merge files.[1]

Customization

Upon first boot of the HBAS, it's going to play the song Slimers by (T-T)b as background music. If you would like to be 𝓯𝓪𝓷𝓬𝔂, then you can customize your experience via modifying the background.mp3 file in the /wiiu/apps/appstore/ folder on your storage device.[2] If this folder doesn't exist, it is automatically created upon first boot of HBAS.

The file repository URL(s) can also be changed by modifying /wiiu/apps/appstore/.get/repos.json on your storage device to point the app to a different libget repository in the event that the original repositories go offline.[3]
