I have a quick question, I'm using Mocha 0.2 release (launched via HB Launcher 1.4 entrypoint loadiine.ovh) to install RedNAND to a 64GB SDCard, all works fine but it only dumps 3 firmware partitions, it doesn't do anything to create the seeprom and otp dumps (I have enabled expert mode and turned seeprom and otp redirection to ON).

Any idea what is wrong? I want to make the backups with NAND manager but it (logically) says it can't find those two.

When using Mocha CFW i keep getting this error message when trying to launch any of my games installed through wupinstaller:
"This Software cannot be used.

The Nintendo Network ID used to purchase the software has been deleted."
My Network ID is fine tho. I have no idea whats going on.
And yes, i am sure Mocha is running.

Working great so far. Is Mocha / RedNand auto Region Free so could I install US Games and play them?

Not sure exactly. Since different sources tell different Storys. I also have Sys Config Tool which could change Region.

Yes, you can install out-of-region games - the region is checked when you launch the game. Mocha patches that region check, which allows out-of-region titles to launch. Whether the title runs properly or not depends on the programming of the title. That's why you think you're being given different answers.

The loadiine compatibility list has information about the kinds of problems you run into with particular out-of-region games.

Just saw a guide to change meta.xml but I am not sure if WUD Client require a Server. All I can find on Google is the Client. But is there no Server needed on the WII U?

Most CFWs (except notably the minicfw of haxchi/cbhc, but including Mocha) have wupserver always running while the CFW is active

Though using ftpiiu everywhere may be more convenient than wupserver for arbitrary file access from a PC
And with all of the mentioned CFWs, you don't need to manually edit the region anyway

Yes, you need wupserver to use wupclient, or, as Ryccardo suggested, the appropriate ftpiiu_everywhere with an FTP client.

There is no advantage to changing the region in meta.xml if you're already running Mocha or another patcher like Haxchi sysmenu. You'd change the meta.xml region if you DIDN'T want to have to run a patcher, but still wanted to run out-of-region games which you installed with valid tickets.

Umm well it has sig patches, i suppose is slight better than haxchi. It also can load without haxchi so for anyone who don't have it. :P
I was going to get Haxchi so I don't need to rely on browser and I wanted region free. I was going to load haxchi and install homebrew channel. So mocha starts up when Wii U turn on all the time?

No, that is coldboot. Haxchi is a homebrew loader that is replaced with a NDS virtual console game you paid for from eshop. You can actually make haxchi load mocha cfw on launch by making a config file and installing haxchi with it. When loaded, it can load mocha and then you have even less to worry about. :P

I don't have coldboot cause is dangerously brick potential. But then again, most things are, haxchi and mocha isn't anywhere near dangerous. So i stick with the safety stuff, most people using coldboot would have rednand, which is a safe way for it, but tedious as it require dumping the system memory to sd card which takes long time and any corruption to the rednand, require another dump process again.

Hey there. I downloaded the latest pre-release of mocha linked in this thread and am trying to get it to work with my FAT32 usb. What is the file system setup supposed to look like on it so that it will read it over the sd card?
