A '''vWii''' is a Wii U in WiiMode. None of the [[System Menu]] exploits work here, due to the vWii running [[System Menu 4.3-U]]. Additionally, [[BootMii]] and [[Priiloader]] are not supported, although there are tools to recover from a vWii [[brick]] that can be used from Wii U Mode.+
+== The sandbox ==
−While homebrew can easily be run in the vWii, there are not many ways to hack Wii U Mode from the vWii. This is due to the fact that there is a clear-only register that determines whether the vWii sandbox should be enabled. Nintendo solved this in the [[Wii U Menu]] channel by making it simply restart the console. However, there are a couple of bugs, such as dumping the Wii U's [https://wiiubrew.org/wiki/boot0 boot0] and the HRESET hack, but none are very reliable for gaining code execution in Wii U Mode.

−The '''vWii''' (virtual Wii) is the part of the Wii U's system for Wii mode. None of the [[System Menu]] exploits work in vWii, due to the vWii running a special version of the system menu, known as [[System Menu 4.3-U]]. Additionally, [[BootMii]] and [[Priiloader]] are not supported, although there are tools to recover from a vWii [[brick]] that can be used from Wii U Mode. Many different homebrew applications as well such as [[MyMenuify]] will not work on vWii, or will result in a [[brick]] if used.

With an updated System Menu, [[LetterBomb]] does not work on the vWii. Additionally, [[str2hax]] does not work, because of the removal of the system settings menu. The same savegame exploits that worked on [[System Menu 4.3]] also work here, although this is not necessary, as a vWii-only exploit known as [https://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Wuphax Wuphax] exists.
