I'm still confused on how to mod my vwii without disc using haxchi
vWii is completely optional, i'm not using it myself and vWii is a very long thing to explain.
Just follow Wii U hacking guide then if you feel like doing so, mod your vWii.

Browserhax step is everywhere and it's required until you get HBLC or Haxchi
Mocha CFW is only useful when you don't own a DS VC game
Haxchi is well, Haxchi, it boots to CFW with a button hold
CBHC coldboots haxchi then boots to CFW on boot
Brazilian method allows you to install games
NAND Dumping part is needed if you're planning to risk it all and install CBHC
If you have trouble following my guide, then just read it couple of times. I suggest taking Browserhax->Haxchi->NAND Dump->CBHC route since more people choose this way.
Yep I second that but if the op has no intreast in out of region games or dlc or VC games he can just use mocha/wup installer to install the games then they will boot without needing to run a cfw.

Mocha is a CFW so you're booting CFW to play CFW games either way.

So CHBC is a bit more permanent, but it's not entirely needed if I'm not anal about that button press? I can use Haxchi by booting with a button hold, I'm assuming when or before starting the Wii U up.. so for example (Hold B, start wii u up, boots into CFW and I can boot my game). And that's basically the main differences between the two? I'm assuming CHBC is a bit more complicated to install, as nice as that sounds, the basic Haxchi seems suitable for my needs.

Basically I don't care about out of region games, I just want to play basic Wii U titles at the moment without it being a huge hassle.

Main difference between those two is that, you don't need to hold any buttons on boot with CBHC.
It automatically will autoboot into desired thing you've set up. [ex. Autoboot: vWii will boot into vWii menu]
If you want basic Haxchi, then you need to launch it on everyboot to boot into CFW. [You can set default=sysmenu to boot into it's CFW automatically, it's covered in my guide]
And that's all, nothing complicated.

First of all, thank you for being really patient with me and not linking me to your guide constantly and saying "it's all in the guide". It helps to get a little bit of guidance and to see what approach to take from a live person before doing these tutorials.

To get this straight -- If I did step 1 and 2 (which you said browserhax is needed), step 4 (the haxchi method which is all I need and suits my needs without CBHC), and I use the brazilian method to install apps on the channels and the apps to install games to the HD, correct? At least from what I'm reading from your guide.

Step 1 is required, same goes with Step 2. Mostly because we estimate that Nintendo might release a update anytime soon, which will probably block our exploits. Step 2 is needed because you need to somehow launch HBL. Um, Step 2 can be dismissed after you installed Haxchi, since Haxchi allows to boot into any homebrew out there with x button hold
Yup, you will be able to install games to NAND and USB just fine. So get going and homebrew your Wii U, you'll discover many good and bad games it has. :)

The reason why we constantly link guides is because some of us have been answering the same questions week after week for months.

Since the answers are the same every time I wrote them up in a guide. It's stickied and it even says to read the whole thing first then ask questions. I can't help you if you aren't willing to research a bit before trying any hacks!

Hell there's even a section built just for your question. Step 7.

can I install tcpgecko on the nand like I did with the homebrew channel
or what the system storage is called
You can install every homebrews directly in the menu, as shortcuts. You need to use a VC DS game, then you install haxchi on it (but before, you need to edit the config file of haxchi to make it linked to the path of the homebrew you want the shortcut..).
You can even create your own boot images :P

Kafluke's noob guide, my redNAND-free guide, wiiubru.com/guide, or just follow post above ^^


@puss2puss is working on that, even if it doesn't work out, we already knoe steps to replace some WaraWara Plaza stuff.
Yup, and it will definitly workout :)
I worked on my menu a lot this weekend and for now i will put it aside untill i learn better to script in lua, so for the moment i intend to complete some themes (without new features, only visual and sound..) and upload them.

As of now, i need to find good ways to ''properly'' repack my themes into easy and simple installation files.. like wud. Some repack crash, some repack just wont 'repack', i'm making tests with nuspacker but meh.. cant get nuspacker to 'correctly' repack everytime.. anyway, themes are coming soon for sure :P
