Hacking Official Haxchi v2.5u2 - a persistent WiiU hack

[killmister2]

"best" depends on your liking. I know I use Haxchi 99% of the time for the CFW feature, so for me yes it's best

Is there a way for haxchi to automaticaly patch meta.xml to disable use of gamepad required to boot haxchi? I would like to launch it using just the WiiU pro controller but it still needs the gamepad.

 

[lordelan]

No, I mean the error where Quick Launch still show's the DS game you used as a base rather than the nice Haxchi logo.

p.s. Aha, you made the nice Zelda splash screen I've been using! I couldn't remember who made it.

Ah okay. So you just want to change your Haxchi icon. That's pretty easy. Place an icon TGA file (like the one from my Zelda zip) in SD:\haxchi\ and run the Haxchi installer once again from your HBL.

EDIT: Hmmmm when l load the homebrew launcher channel i just get a black screen!

The combination of running haxchi for sysmenu, running it again to get HBL (elf version), then running HBL channel version frequently results in a black screen.

If you boot, then run haxchi, hold B (or change the config to default=sysmenu and reinstall) then run the channel, it should work. That's what you'd normally do anyway.

Again, no. The icon is fine on the system menu, it's just on quick launch that it displays Dr Kawashima's. Can't work out if the icon is cached or if the QL menu uses a different icon that hasn't been patched. It's not a big deal, I was just wondering if anyone knew how to fix it.

Do you mean when you press the home button? Could you make a picture? Never noticed that.

Quick Launch is the optional menu on the gamepad where it displays the ten most recently used pieces of software and the Wii U can boot straight into them without loading the system menu. It's great in conjunction with Haxchi, I just always found it mildly annoying that it uses the icon of the base DS game. I'm away from my Wii U at the moment but will try and get a picture at some point - though there's not much to see, it just looks like I've been playing the base DS game.

Never heard ot that. Interesting.

Now that I have my console-unique app for Haxchi, is there a way that I can back it up and safely re-install it through the Homebrew Launcher?

I'm going crazy and I need some help with Haxchi and HBL2HBC. I'm not having the same problems everyone has had previously, but I'm sure its something I have set up wrong. Haxchi has been updated to the most recent version, Homebrew Launcher is at 1.4, file structure (Haxchi folder in root AND in wiiu/apps folder). Haxchi config file points to hbl2hbc as default. When I run Haxchi, it boots to Homebrew Launcher (it shouldn't but I know if something is wrong with the config it will go there as a backup). In the Homebrew Launcher, I can see hbl2hbc in the list. When I pick it from the list, it does go right to where I want it to on the vwii side (Nintendont).

The problem has to be how I have Haxchi config file setup, which I have it listed below for reference. I have nothing else in the config to ensure no issues. Location of this config file is sd:\Haxchi\config.txt

default=wiiu/apps/hbl2hbc/hbl2hbc.elf

default=wiiu/apps/hbl2hbc/hbl2hbc.elf

Since you didn't specifically say that you've done so, you probably didn't rerun the Haxchi installer after you changed sd:/haxchi/config.txt. Haxchi Installer copies that file into your DS game's content directory. Haxchi itself only sees the copy in the content directory.

That's why the OP says:

If you ever want to make changes to the content folder it installed to then just re-run the Haxchi Installer and install it again, you dont have to reinstall the game beforehand, it'll just overwrite the previous haxchi installation with your new data.

Be sure to add Homebrew Launcher back into the config.txt before you rerun the installer, or you'll have to use the browser hack to get Homebrew Launcher back.

DON'T REINSTALL THE GAME IF YOU USE CBHC AND HAVE NOT REMOVED THAT FIRST
(I know you mentioned haxchi, and you're in a haxchi thread, but someone might find this post through a search)

To reinstall the game, download the title from NUS using WiiU USB Helper, jnustool or whatever, delete the title.tik if there is one, and use wupinstaller to install it. (it will use your existing/installed real ticket)

Before you reinstall, you should use tik2sd to back up your tickets (and copy sd:/tik2sd to your PC) just in case you make the mistake of reinstalling the title with a fake title.tik instead of omitting the ticket. If you've made a backup, we can help you fix your ticket even if you can't get to eShop.

Hi

Sorry but i lost the track when iosuhax came out . i have 2 questions regarding haxchi.

1) how do you choose which elf will be launched by haxchii after the install is done ? or is it mandatory to launch an haxchii elf provided by the installer ??

I tought that it was like the browser mp4 exploit and that you can choose to launch the HBL or whatever ..

2) if i want mocha + rednand how to use it with haxchii ? Isn't haxchi already patching the arm fw in memory somehow ? ir can mocha be used only from browser ?

Best regards

Does Haxchi support controllers other than the Gamepad when loading an App by holding a specific button (config.txt)? Mine works fine with the Gamepad (Hold A to launch Homebrew Chanel etc) but when I use my Pro Controller, my button maps aren't recognized. Is this because the Pro Controller turns after right as Haxchi reloads the Home Menu?

Get https://github.com/FIX94/haxchi/releases
Just extract the contents of it onto your sd card. The "haxchi" folder right now just consists of a simple replacement icon, logo and replacing the game title with "Haxchi".
Its example config.txt will boot homebrew launcher by default, a fw.img on your sd card when holding A and holding B will send you back into the system menu which will get full signature and region patching and support this ftpiiu-everywhere version; Haxchi comes with its own sysnand CFW included.

For a full list of all compatible buttons that you can use for the config.txt go here.

What the OP means is that when you extract the file that you get from the releases page onto your SD card, you'll have an sd:/haxchi directory. In that directory is a config.txt file. Look at that file. You'll see how you define what button does what. You don't get a menu with Haxchi, you just press the button for the desired function while Haxchi loads. If you've already installed Haxchi, you have to rerun the Haxchi Installer after you change config.txt

2) if i want mocha + rednand how to use it with haxchii ? Isn't haxchi already patching the arm fw in memory somehow ? ir can mocha be used only from browser ?

If you can't explain why you specifically need redNAND, you don't need it. That aside, you can assign mocha to any of the unused buttons in the list that FIX94 linked to above. Yes, Haxchi can do signature/region patching. If you select the button you've assigned to Mocha while you're running Haxchi for the first time since a reboot, then Haxchi's patches aren't yet active, so they can't conflict with Mocha.

Thanks for help!

I read all instructions seems simple enough.

Is the original Super Mario Bros game on NES considered a VC title? I have it already, could I use that to run the exploit?
