There's an edit post button.
Don't go into Wii mode when running wupserver. Go into Wii mode after running writedol.py and replugging the Wii U.
You should see a red screen when booting into the wupserver fw.img. Do you see that red screen when booting in?
I can post a video showing what it looks like when booting into the fw.img, if you're not sure.
I have seen a red screen on my wiiU controller yes and on the TV the wiiU logo and it installed correctly now what

Run backup.py in wuphax-v1.0. Make sure the IP in wupserver.py (line 29) is the same IP as your Wii U's IP.
In fact, tell me the IP. It should be 192.168.xxx.xxx (with the X being any number)

I boot the fw.img through cfw booter and I'm staying on home menu. About the mac adress what do I even do with it here? it's no use
If you can access your router's web page (by typing in its IP), you can check the IP through finding the MAC Address. I'm stumped, maybe you should wait for someone with more knowledge than me to help. But just in case, do you see the red screen when you boot the fw.img?

Can you send me a picture of the red screen or video to make sure I'm doing the right things

Yes I have done that step sir. Now what?
Run backup.py on the same WiFi network as the Wii U. What IP is on line 29 of wupserver.py?
OK running backup Py right now downloading the mii channel might take a minute it says.... Now that's all done with and I have these so far

Wait for it to be done, and turn off the Wii U, unplug it, plug it in, and turn it back on. Go into Wii mode, and load the Mii Channel.
Omg finally hot it working thank you thank you thank you for your time and consideration for helping me out I owe you one

USB Loader GX doesn't need a custom IOS. CFG USB Loader (and maybe WiiFlow) needs a custom IOS.
Just follow this guide and you should be set. Make sure you run restore.py to get the Mii Channel back.

Like flzmx said just follow that guide. It's very detailed and has all the files you need. I'd say skip the NAND dump since you won't brick the vwii unless you do something really stupid. Installing backups and homebrew poses no danger. Also recovering a vWii brick requires using hardware to flash the NAND. You can also skip the portions that involve installing the homebrew channel since you did wuphax.

Really? I always thought it did. Well he might as well just follow the guide and install the cIOSes anyway.
I can't get it to work the mii channel when I click on it it wants me to install homebrew channel again and I can't get the restore part to work or load on my pc

You may need to change the IP address in wupserver.py again. By default devices are set to obtain IP addresses automatically from your router. Meaning that when when a device connects it asks the router for an IP address and the router assigns it the first available out of the range it's set to assign. So your Wii U's IP address might no longer match what your entered in wupserver.py. If that's not the issue then I can't be of much more help as I don't have any experience using wupserver.

Are you on wupserver on the home screen? How did backup.py work?
You should have a 00000001.app in the same folder as backup.py or restore.py. If you don't have it, then you can't restore the Mii Channel unless you have another Wii U that you're willing to modify.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
