Also another thing, the guide mentions a wii u folder, do i need to put the sd card into my wii u before hacking it so it can make that folder?

I:\wiiu
Oh ok, will do that when i get itNo, you can create if from scratch in your computer as a new folder. But it needs to be located in the root of your SD card like this:
Code:I:\wiiu
Assuming that "I:\" is your SD card.

Thanks for the guide, followed it all the way through.
Everything seems to work but finding USB Loader GX quite buggy with a lot of freezes. Same results even after updating to r1260
I would suggest
- Breaking down the steps a bit further
- Link to Xyzzy 1.2.2 (http://www73.zippyshare.com/v/58759984/file.html) instead of 1.2.1 which gives an error for vWii, yet still works
aren't you glad I backup everything?
dunno. that's what was is in the thread when I used it.
with yet another bluedump mod i get error opening sd:/private/wii/title
I'm having some issues getting d2x-installer, xyzzy, and YABDM to work. d2x doesn't show the v10 betas as an option, and xyzzy and YABDM claim success but silently write nothing to my SD card. I've been trying to make this work since last night and nothing I've tried has worked. I've:
In every situation, the same issues persist. I was at least able to get a picture of the output for xyzzy, I'm not sure if that's what it would be writing to keys.txt though. I don't think the issue is with the SD cards, because I used one of them to softmod my brothers vWii a few months ago, and one of them dumped my nand without issues (I didn't try the others for nand dumping because it takes like 2 hours).
- Ensured that none of my SD cards are locked.
- Tried three different SD cards, including a fat32 2gb non-hc card, a fat16 2gb non-hc card with no partition label, and a fat32 64gb microsd card. All three issues persist on all three cards.
- Checked the XML files, folder structure, etc more times than I can count. I've used premade archives with it already setup and split archives with the beta in a seperate archive, in which case I followed a guide on extracting it correctly and then double checked with the XML files.
- Tried running each application with and without a USB stick plugged in, just in case that was causing a problem.
- Searched for solutions online, and nothing I've found solved the issue.
If it matters, I didn't follow this guide to get HBC on my vWii. I did that using SmashStack years ago (I wanna say it was around when Smash 4 came out).
Relevant software versions:
Some of these versions are different from what this guide recommends. I tried updating after the files this guide provides didn't work.
- HBC 1.1.2
- IOS 58 v25.32 (HBC says this, d2x-installer/xyzzy/YABDM claim its v6432)
- d2x-cios-installer mod 2.2
- Xyzzy v1.3.0 (unofficial) (pulled from DarkMatterCore's github)
- Yet Another BlueDump MOD v1.85 (pulled from DarkMatterCore's github)
I'm pretty stuck at this point, any help is appreciated, thanks
someone else had this problem with d2x at least, with version10 not showing up. don't use a micro sd if possible. I'm using a 256GB sd card with my wii u, and I never encountered a problem. I also used smash stack (still have the game. I bought it just for the exploit. ) @alexander1970 is pretty knowledgeable about the wii/vwii, so maybe he has a suggestion. other than the sd card suggestion, I don't know what else to try. it's really weird. I don't think a usb device being plugged in will have any effect.

Strangely, the very first time I launched vWii Homebrew Launcher, it wasn't 4:3 pillarboxed. Only after the next reboot did the 4:3 pillarboxing occur, and now it is stuck this way. Hence I want to try re-installing Homebrew Launcher.
if you look hard enough, there's a version of the homebrew launcher (FIX94's fork) with the exact issue mentioned fixed that you can try
did you follow the guide in the first post to install the cIOS ?
if you have the cIOS installed, but it doesn't work, you can try with IOS58.
Settings > Loader's settings > Loader's IOS : 58
reboot.
Having followed this tutorial meticulously, I was having a hell of a time getting a USB HDD working with USB Loader GX -- it would always freeze on "Loading USB device" before reaching the main menu. The only way out was to disconnect power from the Wii U. This solved all my issues! Now, is anyone willing to explain why that might be?
