My Wii U came with firmware 1.0.2U pre-installed.-- Vahnx ( talk) 00:23, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
Confirmed, my Wii U also came with 1.0.2U. Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot, I updated it first thing. Aaron44126 ( talk) 19:25, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
Should there be a Europe update date becuse it did not go active untill 30th November for Europe A Candela ( talk) 02:34, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
"The Wii Mode system memory is limited to 512 MB, just like the Wii system memory is."
No, the Xbox 360 had 512MB of RAM, the PS3 had 256MB for graphics and 256 for system, and the Wii had something like 80MB, can we fix this? Bumblebritches57 ( talk) 01:10, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
~Edit~
looks like the Wii had 512MB of flash storage so maybe that's what they mistook it for.
"88 MB main memory (24 MB internal 1T-SRAM integrated into graphics package, 64 MB external GDDR3 SDRAM)[102] 3 MB embedded GPU texture memory and framebuffer"
IDK how we should word this, should we combine it all together, or just take the 88MB number? Bumblebritches57 ( talk) 01:12, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
In the System Update releases section, the "Release Date" column follows this format:
November 18, 2013; 4 days ago[3]
or
November 18, 2012; 11 months ago[3]
But today is 11/30/2013, meaning that the "days ago"/"months ago" values are out of date. Is there perhaps a better way to have wikipedia display these values?
Something like
days_passed = now - date(2013,11,18)
if (days_passed < 30) "[days_passed] days ago" else if (days_passed < 365) "[days_passed/30] months ago" else "[days_passed / 365] years ago" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.93.182.248 ( talk) 21:13, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Forgive my asking, but the operating system written from scratch or is it based on some existing operating system? E.g. PlayStation 4 system software is based on FreeBSD 9.0 User:ScotXW t@lk 18:03, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
I read somewhere that the system directories have names similar to names that a unix systems have. -- Mariomadproductions ( talk) 15:43, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
With that update, 4:3 Wii software started at long last to be displayed pillarboxed when the Wii U was set to output in HD. Previously, everything was stretched to 16:9 regardless if it was an anamorphic widescreen Wii release or 4:3 only.
To draw a parallel with the original Wii to perhaps make that easier to understand, it would've been like if your tv remote control's mode button was wrecked and your HDTV was permanently stuck on stretch mode. Not only did this Wii U update fix your mode button, but it does it all automatically without the need of the user intervening manually to turn stretch mode on and off as appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.199.62 ( talk) 10:01, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Unfortunately, since it's not listed in the official change log for the patch, it wasn't widely reported outside of forums and such. I had no luck with a search engine just now with locating a source likely to be viable for a reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.199.62 ( talk) 00:10, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
Note that articles regarding "system software" of various game consoles such as this one is currently nominated for deletion. The reason for deletion by the nominator is WP:NOTCHANGELOG. If you have any opinion, please go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xbox One system software and discuss it, thanks! -- Cartakes ( talk) 12:54, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
If there is a compelling and encyclopedic need to include details about past versions of the system software, could we limit it to important and/or noteworthy details? Wikipedia is not the place for complete version histories (but anyone can feel free to start your own wiki for that purpose!). — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 04:09, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
As I posted in the 3DS system software "Talk" page, you've removed the only useful feature of this page. I've had this and the 3DS page bookmarked for some time as a useful reference and resource. I imagine the vast majority of other users share my ignorance at how to properly use this talk page as well, so it's not as indicative of public opinion as you might think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.51.237.136 ( talk) 11:25, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
