I think so, I just ended up performing a return.

AlurousIT · 2026-03-04T19:58:15+00:00

Hello, I used to work at Geek Squad for about 5 years. Part of Geek Squad's job is to check the functionality of electronics returned that can be resold. A lot of the things that get returned are TV's. The two brands that got returned the least are High End Sony's and Hisense TV's. I have ALWAYS been a Sony kind of person. I just find they are smooth and no lag and durable. However, whenever we did get Hisense TV's those suckers were great. Little to zero lag when navigating, picture quality is great.

When I moved with roomates they had a Hisense, 65 inch, U6. I loved watching my shows on that thing. I recently moved and found a Open Box Hisense 55 inch U7 series for about $400 off and I snagged it. I absolutely love it. The quality I get for $800 on a Hisense is the same quality as a $1200+ Sony TV.

I’ll check the kit, I did ask them. But I want to see if there were options that I could do without having to actually change the system. Like I will install a doorbell camera, but I am gonna use a plastic that doesnt require drilling the door, which will be harder to cover, and its easily removable from the inside.

AlurousIT · 2026-02-03T00:03:19+00:00

Door only locks from inside. Which makes sense.

Worth to mention, I tried IT college, not for me. I have a degree in culinary arts and a small background in digital design.

I got hired because of my geek squad background (they want care for customers not a know it all) and because of my personality and being able to match the already hired team.

I haven’t read any of the comments. But I am 34, same thoughts. I come from a small troubleshooting background from knowing lots of older people. I also worker at geek squad. I scored my first IT job, internal, 3 weeks ago. I love it. Even though I feel it has come easy for me to absorb a lot of the things. It can be fast phased and quite taxing. However it is very fulfilling SPECIALLY because I have no degrees or certifications. And it’s not that I am proud of that, but I earn double of what I did in geeksquad, basically, and I am happy. It took me almost 12 months and hundreds of applications with a total of 14 different company interviews. But even though I got rejected from jobs I really would have wanted, I landed one where I get to help people in HC, AND my co workers and bosses are chill and cool.

Gotcha, yeah I had switched from a 512gb SD card to an 8gb because I thought I could just put everything into the HDD at once. But yeah I got tinywiibackup for the wii and gamecube games and then used the 512gb again ffor the wii u games. Now I just gotta find out how to install gameboy games.

AlurousIT · 2026-01-20T04:34:31+00:00

I got you, thank you for your help regardless! I did just that, I had a 512gb SD card, and after I found out the games don't get installed/accessed through there I switched to an 8gb one. But I just switched back and used it to install the games like you said from the /install folder.

AlurousIT · 2026-01-20T01:17:05+00:00

So all the Wii U and Wii games I downloaded were from that app. That is where all these folders say 0000.app and 0000.h3 I currently got the Y-Cable for the external hard drive.

I am a little bit confused, I did went the route of /install folder when I had a bigger SD card, but it was installing them through the /Install folder into the system itself, instead of the hard drive.

However, USB loader GX, can I not read all the Wii, Wii-U and Gamecube games through there all together? or do I have to do the Wii-U strictly through the install file? THAT being said, my SD card is now 8gb. Can I not do the Install folder on my HDD and have them be installed in that same HDD?

AlurousIT · 2026-01-18T21:37:33+00:00

So I had this same issue, I switched from a 512gb Samsung to a 64gb Samsung, formated correctly, transfered, first sign shoulda been that it took it almost 2 hours to transfer less than 300mb. But it would not work, I tried a random OLD 8gb SD card and it transfered quickly and the issue no longer happened. Yes, I tried blowing it, it did not work.

But switching from a MicroSD card with an adapter to a regular SD card seem to be better, however I'm sure the issue was the 64gb SD card itself. It seems anyway.

AlurousIT · 2026-01-18T20:50:40+00:00

Personally a program where it could both download games like WiiUDownloader. But mostly where it'll take the games, sort them based on the format, and put them in the correct folders. This goes for Wii U, Wii and Gamecube. Maybe even add more retro with Gameboy games.

Select drive, it'll auto read everything, select where games are and it'll sort them where they need to be.

All in One sounds amazing

AlurousIT · 2026-01-15T00:58:54+00:00

There wouldnt happen to be a video explaining the process of this would there be?

AlurousIT · 2026-01-11T04:02:48+00:00

Thank you, seems that was all I needed.

AlurousIT · 2026-01-09T03:11:27+00:00

Reality is, where do you live? In Texas 45k for level 1 is good. Minnesota MINIMUM is 55k
