Welcome to WiiULinux.net
The home of Linux on the Wii U
This site is inspired by ps3linux.net and 360linux.net. In the same vein, this site is hosted on a Wii U.
The actual Wii U this site is being hosted on. CC0.
I also host a Minecraft server on this Wii U. You can find it at mc.wiiulinux.net. This server used to be hosted using Cuberite (like the Minecraft server hosted on an Xbox 360 — which you can find at play.360linux.net down right now!), but I’ve since switched to Paper 1.8.8. That means no more problems (like THE NUGGET), since we’re running (something based on) genuine Minecraft, but it also means worse performance. I plan on making a blog post that goes more in depth about the migration to Spigot and my thoughts on the matter, so stay tuned. Running on Spigot also means I can now run Dynmap, which means you can see what the server looks at, and lag the server, without ever needing to leave your web browser!
I’m also using a Velocity proxy server running ViaVersion, ViaBackwards, ViaRewind, Geyser, and Floodgate. These plugins allow anyone running anyone running Minecraft: Java Edition 1.7.2-1.21, or even, Bedrock Edition, can join in on the Wii U MC fun!
This project was made possible by the work of many talented developers, but especially the people behind the linux-wiiu project (including myself). Shout out to Ash (whose site you can find here), tjhexf, Link Mauve, and all the other contributors to the linux-wiiu project for all your hard work porting Linux to the Wii U.

SMP on the Wii U!
After years of work, SMP is finally working on the Wii U! If you run Wii U Linux and would like to take advantage of all 3 CPU cores, you’ll need to build a kernel using the rewrite-6.6-smp branch of the linux-wiiu kernel source found here. Unfortunately, as of me writing this, there are no…

The WordPress Migration
It’s been rough! Up until recently, wiiulinux.net has been a collection of manually written HTML & CSS files, good old Web 1.0 style. What the site used to look like. CC0. However, a few weeks ago (at time of writing), I decided it would be a good idea to get with the times and migrate…

Hello World!
My first ever blog post using WordPress! This is just a quick test to see how blog posts work in WordPress and so that I have a post I can use for setting up the blog post UI. That’s all for now. Bye!
That’s all for now. Before you go, enjoy this wonderful synthwave artwork by Rafaël De Jongh.
