# CFW Uses {docsify-ignore-all}
Wondering what you can do with CFW on your Wii U?
We've made a list of basic things you can do with CFW.
---
### Dump and Install Your Wii U Game Discs
You can [dump your Wii U game discs to your SD Card using disc2app and then install said dumps using WUP Installer GX2](extras/dump-games) either to the NAND or to a Wii U formatted USB drive.
?> Don't know what a Wii U formatted USB drive is? [Click here](extras/faq?id=what-is-a-wii-u-formatted-usb-drive).
### Backup and Restore Your Games' Save Data
You can use [SaveMii Mod](https://github.com/GabyPCgeeK/savemii/releases) to backup, restore and delete your games' save data. You can also import your games' save data from Loadiine.
?>You will need to launch a CFW (Mocha, Haxchi or CBHC) before launching SaveMii Mod.
### Make and Install Virtual Console Injections
You can make Virtual Console injects with [Injectiine](https://gbatemp.net/threads/original-injectiine-wii-u-virtual-console-injector.491386/) for Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Nintendo 64 (N64), GameBoy Advance (GBA) and Nintendo DS (NDS) games. And [TeconMoon's WiiVC Injector](https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-wiivc-injector-script-gc-wii-homebrew-support.483577/) for Wii and GameCube games.
Virtual Console injects can be installed either to the NAND or to a Wii U formatted USB drive and can be run from the Wii U Menu.
You will also need to launch a CFW (Mocha, Haxchi or CBHC) in order to run said Virtual Console injects.
?> DSi enhanced games are not and will never be compatible with Nintendo's Virtual Console emulator.
### Mod your vWii
You don't need to mod your vWii if you only want to play Wii and GameCube games, [VC injects](extras/cfw-uses?id=make-and-install-virtual-console-injections) will work even with an unmodded vWii since those are run from the Wii U Menu.
But if you want to manage your copy protected games' save data, mod your games, cheat and more, you will need to [mod your vWii](vwii/vwii-modding).
