Tutorial A complete Rednand guide

How did you type the command?
Did you already archive the game?
Are you already on the "installimage" portion?

Running this script. Compiling space game for home menu installation.

Wait, isn't that Voxel's script? I've had a couple of issues with that in the past
I just ended up doing everything manually.

 

[iAqua]

Voxel's

Yeah, using voxels. Should I just use the regular commands? I lost ryans guide to it tho .

 

[Deleted User]

The build script is very hit-and-miss, it does work for some people but not for most others and I can't really understand what could be the cause of the issue.
The investigation is still ongoing where that's concerned, but for the meantime, feel free to post those manual commands you were on about.

I can't seem to repack an app with the sdk ; here is my log :

So about the Nintendo Dev Interface. I know its part of Nintendo's Dev system. But is there like a link or something without having to sign up for the Development Portal?

And I can't get the script to work at all. I need Cygwin 1.7 (Which I have a different version) and MULTIGHS, but I cannot find a legit download link anywhere.

Hey guys... noticed something weird again... maybe it's normal... but...

Here it is! I used to install my dlcs on a 32gb usb stick that i own, but its data transfer rate is really low and i was keeping the other online players waiting while my dlc mario kart 8 tracks were loading, so i decided to install the dlc on the rednand itself (sd card)... installed... played online... ok! turned my wii u off and went to sleep.. today, when i decided to play again, my dlc installation was gone =s i had to install it again... so I noticed that, when i install a dlc on the rednand wii u memory (sd card) and restart the wii u, it is gone... everytime! is it normal? Anyone experienced it yet? How did you solve it? thanks

 

[KiiWii]

Stupid question:

If you "brick redNAND" is it as easy as deleting and starting again to fix it?

I haven't bothered with it yet but had heard of people bricking and though if it's just on an SD.....

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: yup, it's that simple, keep a back up from a fresh install, and if you brick just restore the unbricked back up.

 

[QCLasky]

Can i load the rednand when i turn on my wii u just like we do in 3ds cfw?

 

[Supster131]

No, but it's currently being worked on.

 

[SoraXL]

What sucks is knowing that many people most likely lied in the poll =/

you mean the poll that is on the top of this thread and asks if the rednand worked?

 

[Deleted-379826]

Yeah. I doubt a lot of people were truthful. I mean if there were that many people don't you think they would of commented or made a thread?

 

[raphamotta]

So I have a fw.img on dimokiosu\bin after run gensections.py and another fw.img on root after run make. Which one is the correct to use for rednand?

The one in the root

Hello,

I have built my fw.img the 3th of November (@ https://github.com/dimok789/iosuhax/commits/master), if I build a new img from https://github.com/dimok789/iosuhax/commits/master do I need to start from 0 (I mean reformat my SD and dump the NAND) or can I just replace the current fw.img on my SD with the new one ? Thanks

you can just replace the fw.img

 

[joes80]

you can just replace the fw.img

Okay thank

What can you do with Rednand?

 

[buhdiego]

What can you do with Rednand?

Install DLC and play online, install custom titles, eShop titles, mess around with no fear of bricking the sysNAND etc...

Can I install region free stuff?
