Hi, guys
Please let me know if this is not the correct section to post this kind of topic, ok?
So 2 days ago I bought an used Wii U in order to play Zelda BotW, and I have been reading a lot of tutorials on gbatemp, but it seems that there are some information conflicts between them.
I followed steps I and II of MattKimura's Wii U hacking guide using a 32GB card (my WiiU is also 32GB) and everything seems to working fine so far. Step III said I had to obtain the backups myself, so I browsed the forum and found the Wii U USB Helper topic, which has a nice and simple interface. Now this is where I am unsure about what to do:
WiiUUSB's tutorial says I should have redNAND or another CFW installed before proceding, whereas MattKimura's tutorial say it is not necessary. Since I am new at WiiU hacking, I believe it's safer to install only the essential apps.
1 - Do I really need an external HD or can I install the games on a 16GB USB stick?
2 - Is it worth installing the games on the console's internal storage device? Do I get faster loading screens and/or higher FPS?
3 - WiiUUSB's tutorial utilizes CFW Booter and WUP Installer - Mod Y while MattKimura's tutorial utilizes Mocha CFW and WUP Installer GX2. Are they equivalent? Which ones should I use? Since WiiU USB Helper downloads updates and DLCs along with the games, NNU Patcher wouldn't be necessary, right?
4 - Do I need to run Mocha CFW everytime before playing backups?
5 - What should I basically avoid to brick my WiiU? I read on one topic that installing "system titles" would cause a brick, but I'm not sure what a system title is.
I'm sorry for the long topic, but I couldn't find the answer on other topics.
Cheers
