Those games will work on redNAND without any extra setup.

about to instqll redand but i dont see a autobooting optins in mocha only see config view mode off, skip this menu on launch on,show launch image off, launch systemmenu on, rednand on

If you want Mocha to do its thing after you load the .elf without pressing 'A' then what @iAqua said. If by autobooting you meant coldbooting then be advised that there are additional options under "expert" view. "Coldboothax (use syshax.xml)" is one of them. I'm not actually sure if you need that option for coldbooting redNAND though.

I can confirm you don't need syshax.xml for redNAND coldboot.

Also, i had a little problem with the CBHC, when going to sysmenu it stated not to remove the usb and looped. I had to unplug the console to remedy this.

Yeah there may be dragons still. So far coldbooting Mocha is working great but if I discover some instability I'll keep CBHC and just go back to coldbooting the coldboot CFW. For as much as people seem to want to get away from fw.img it still seems to be the most reliable sigpatching. I've never had my system hang while using a fw.img. I think Mocha will eventually be the go to choice. Right now the only advantage for me since I don't use redNAND is my sexy lady pic. Of course I could have that with fw.img but I can't be bothered to recompile it.

The Holy Guide :
  • Download this and copy the wiiu folder onto the root of your sd card.
  • Boot up your Wii U insert your sd and load up loadiine.ovh, then load up the homebrew launcher from there.
  • Choose the app store and find Mocha, install that.
  • Load up Mocha and don't enable redNAND and then turn on autobooting, press A. You'll be in sigpatched sysNAND once you've done that. Power off your Wii U and place the SD card in your PC.
  • Load up the homebrew launcher from loadiine.ovh again and run Mocha once again, if everything went well you'll boot into sigpatched sysNAND.
  • Whenever you want to boot sigpatched sysNAND you'll have to follow the step above this one whenever you want to load sigpatched sysNAND(unless you setup haxchi, which is covered later in the guide).

I'm sorry but this literally makes no sense to me.

Also, Mocha doesn't have "autobooting" option.

I have a 32gb Wii U, do I still use a 8gb card, or so I need a bigger card?

Thanks :)

Oh, yeah, that's leftovers from the older guide, let me fix that up. And you'll be fine with a 8gb sd.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
