1.) Download the latest release of XCXgecko:
https://github.com/mimicax/XCXGecko/releases
2.) Follow this guide to get the kernel exploit up and running (assuming your firmware version is 5.5.0/5.5.1):
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...server-loadiine-homebrew-launcher-etc.424948/
3.) Run the kernel exploit, followed by pyGecko (itself or some variant is included in the kernel exploit), and finally launch the game (XCX) on your Wii U. From here, load your save and run the program I linked on your PC.
4.) Find a tutorial on cheat codes (I don't use them, and therefore don't know anything about them).

1.) Everything is temporary, and rendered unusable after restarting your system.
2.) The things that load from an SD card can only be loaded from an SD card; I.E., no USB support.

Read the stickies. And you can't use USB right now.
