Homebrew Official Mocha CFW - The sweet chocolate to your latte!

this is why i hate text for speaking. I wasnt being a dick. I didn't mean it to come off that way. I just meant my bad for not knowing and wanted to assure you im not going into this stuff headfirst without caution. I've seen people do that and end up having a bad time. I am sorry you thought i was being a dick.

Fair enough. Yes, I know what you mean. Then I take it back

Question is, if you can just use CBHC, why do you want mocha? Just because you can? Most use it on rednand. Pointless on CBHC, just adds to extra loading time to sysmenu. I believe you can set mocha to autoboot in rednand, but not in sysnand (although I haven't personally tried either).

well in cbch since you can load mocha at launch i wonder if cbch then just doesnt load its own sig patches and mocha is what is used then on? i dont know honestly how it works. also mocha just works for me. I have had zero issues with it. like i said before the homebrew launcher would also get stuck and freeze when i tried to exit it before switching to mocha

 

[robbros]

why does it says that i have to format my sd? can someone help me? am i supposed to have some specific file on my sd before installing it?

I'm pretty sure, currently, it loads both hence why it takes longer (around a minute??) to boot. I don't know if FIX is going to work on CBHC to avoid patching if autobooting mocha or remove the option to autoboot mocha altogether to avoid this confusion. Time will tell. Mocha is best used on rednand apparently. I never did rednand because I always thought it was pointless (unless you are a dick, lol).

I should edit that. Not everybody that uses rednand is a pleb. They use it because its safer - you can brick rednand and recover. Mess with your sysnand and brick then you are a bit of a dick. Anyway, enough about dicks and plebs. If you stick to haxchi/CBHC then you can't really go wrong. BUT you better have some way to filter updates. No-one really knows what will happen to sysnand/rednand if either or both get updated when a new update comes out (if it does).

CBHC has an option to boot Mocha, but it's currently only useful if you use redNAND, and will be useful in the future only for features added to Mocha that CBHC won't have.
that's not because something is done in prevision of the future, that it's useful right now.
If CBHC system patching has the exact same patches than Mocha, there's no need to load mocha, it's just added launch time.

CBHC is patching the system menu differently than Mocha, and CBHC do it faster, so if all you want is install/launch unsigned games, then CBHC is good.
if you want NAND redirection, use mocha instead.
if you want WUP Server, FTPiiU everywhere (dimok's version, using IOSUhax Nodes), then go with mocha, but CBHC has a FTPiiU compatible version too, so no Mocha really required for that.
if you want to install/launch officially signed games ... yeah, you don't even need a CFW ! that's why some users prefer installing Haxchi as channel, and launch it manually ONLY when needed, keeping a clean WiiU system most of the time.

Wait for it, wait for it....told you so

Currently I am looking for a default launch image that says mocha on it. If anyone wants to help out on it write it on this thread or pm me.

How about this:

EDIT: alternate version:

EDIT: I'm working on a much improved version with a half-real Mocha. I'll PM you when it's ready. By the way, I'm open to suggestions.
EDIT:

 

[Kvnrdrguez]

What are the pixel dimensions required for the boot image?

 

[Kurausukun]

I'm totally new to Wii U CFW--do I just need to boot the .elf file from HB Launcher or something similar, or do I need some other prerequisite exploit?

That in itself is enough to load Mocha.

If you're still using the browser exploit, look into Haxchi.

 

[Kurausukun]

Unless it's been updated since, the info I've seen seems to suggest that Haxchi is incompatible with JP Wii Us, which is what I have. It's unfortunate, but it's not that much of a pain to get there from loadiine, so thanks for the help.

EDIT: Okay, the information seems to be conflicting, but I guess you CAN get it on JP systems. I guess I'll give it a try either way.

EDIT 2: Works just fine. I must have been looking at a very old article.

So mocha has been working fine the last few days, but for no reason, when i try to load my rednand, i get an infinite wii u home menu screen with the gamepad displaying mocha. Has there been any fix for this?

So how do you uninstall once you have installed this?

 

[Cyan]

once you have installed this?

installed what?
mocha is not installed at all, it's a homebrew located on your SD card.

if you want to uninstall the homebrew, press delete on your keyboard while you have that file selected?

just don't run it, and you won't have to unload it from memory. to unload it from memory, reboot the console, unless you have mocha coldbooted from CBHC.
if you want to "uninstall" (disable?) redNAND : if you have CBHC set to autoboot mocha's redNAND, press B to go to Mocha menu and disable redNAND.
but then, you'd better just use CBHC's patches instead of loading Mocha to apply the same patches CBHC could do, so open CBHC menu and set autoboot to system menu instead of Mocha.
