Does Project M work on a Wii U?

[Randall00]

I'm tossing around the idea of purchasing a Wii U, as I do not have a Wii of my own. I don't know much about the hardware on the WiiU, but it appears to have an SD card slot and I just wondered if anyone had attempted to run Project M on one.

Does it still work?

I freely acknowledge that there's irony in the fact that I'm choosing whether or not to buy a Wii U based on whether or not it will play an old Wii game hacked in order to play more like an even older Gamecube game.

EDIT:
Although, in retrospect, I guess you couldn't use a Gamecube controller, so I guess that pretty much burns down that idea.

Oh well, still, a valid question for some newer players who may actually be inclined to use that freaky Wii U Pro Controller or have otherwise embraced different control methods instead of being proudly stuck in the early 2000s with us old, stodgy Cubists who can't let go of a good thing.

The "hackless" version works perfectly fine on a Wii U.
Adapters to use a PS1/PS2 controller as a Classic Controller are available for under 10 bucks. There aren't mass-produced adapters for other controllers yet, but there probably will be soon.

Is this relevant o the newest version of M? Because I just tried the Homebrew version and it didn't work.

Try the hackless method. It should work.

I load the game through homebrew on my Wii U with no flaws. I also use CCP and I've gotten used to it so yeah it works.

Well, I hope you bought a Wii U. The GC controller adapter solves your controller concerns. I have not tried Project M on the Wii U however. Did the hackless method work well?

It works like it's meant to. People who have problems are doing it wrong; no offense.

So I tried it on the Wii U and it worked! All we need now is that damn GC adapter. I simply moved my memory card from the Wii to the Wii U. I did notice that my custom music selection didn't carry over though.

It should carry over, unless you downloaded a new copy of the hack.

Nope, for some reason it didn't. Strange right?

Try again. Sometimes, my PM reverts to SSBB for some reason. If that doesn't work, just redownload the custom songs.

I have a question of my own, if I play project M on my wii u, will I be able to play on an HDTV with no input lag?

If I recall, PM works perfectly on the Wii-U, but you have to put in the SD card after the Wii U is set to Wii mode, and take out the SD card when you're done playing. Otherwise, one of the important files for PM might be overwritten. Take that info with a grain of salt, though.
