How to set up: I will assume you already have the homebrew channel installed on your Wii U. If not, have a look at this guide. All you need is an SD card and Smash Bros Brawl.

Firstly, you need your gamecube games in ISO format. You can rip your collection using a homebrew'd Wii console and Cleanrip. I will not discuss finding ISOs by other means, as it's against NeoGAF rules, and it's bad to do.

So, you've got the games ripped onto your USB stick or SD card. Excellent! You now need GCIT, a windows app. Using this application, open each ISO and send it to your SD card or USB stick in a folder called GAMES on the root of the card. Select it to transfer in DiscEX format which Nintendon't can read. It's really quick to do this.

Almost there! Download the newest version of Nintendont. (always updated at this link)

Put this into your sd card in /apps/nintendont - name it boot.dol.

now load up the Wii U, go into Wii Mode, load up the homebrew channel, select nintendont and hooray! smash bros, on your Wii U.

think I need a wii u now

This. I'm not voiding my warranty (though it may already be void since I only got the manufactures warranty )

Some people, like me, don't have gamecubes, but want WII Us. This is just an extra incentive.

I love hacks and the like and don't mine voiding my warranty.

I still have a first generation modded Wii that played games burned on discs or off a hard drive. Seems like too much trouble to go through to play Gamecube games when the Wii can already do it natively.
