'''vWii''' (or Virtual Wii) is the fanmade name for the emulated Wii mode of the Wii U. It uses modified IOSes and a modified [[Wii System Menu]] to account for changes in the Wii U's hardware and the virtualized environment which is booted directly from Wii U mode using a technique called cafe2wii.
== System Menu encryption ==
The vWii System Menu uses a custom encryption not present on the original Wii; this makes it impossible to install modifications such as Priiloader without breaking the encryption first.
== Boot process ==
vWii lacks the Wii's 3 bootloaders ([[boot0]], [[boot1]], and [[boot2]]); instead, the Wii U launch code (cafe2wii) directly launches vWii IOS and the System Menu. This can be used to boot into a custom title other than the System Menu such as a particular channel or homebrew app.
