That looks like a pretty old iosu coldboot hack you got there. I would tell you how to remove it and setup HaxChi and CBHC but I never used that coldboot hack and don't want to give you incorrect info that might cause a brick.

I'd first try and figure out a safe way to remove the hack and start over from scratch. Read through the noob guide so you're familiar with all the most recent hacks then when you get yours removed you'll know what to do

GC games are played through vWii (they also work through Wii VC for gamepad support but that's more work to set up), you don't need to change anything with your Wii U-side setup but you do need to hack vWii, or alternatively install a Wii VC inject with Nintendont in it.

ok cheers, was when cold boot first came out i did this haha

are you using coldboot haxchi or iosu hax? if the latter, you can remove it by not linking the config.txt to the fw.img. you're done. have it says default=sysmenu instead of default=location of fw.img . btw, if you're using cfw booter to boot into iosu hax. you don't really need to do anything. you do have haxchi, right?

Here's what we need to know

1. What happens when you first turn on your Wii u?

2. Do you see anything on your gamepad when you boot?

3. If your Wii U boots normally what do you do to launch homebrew launcher?

change default to default=sysmenu and reinstall. you're not using cbhc, are you? you'll know if you are if it says "autobooting" when turning on the console if you are, then that config.txt is meaningless and you don't need to do anything.

you need the config.txt in the haxchi folder or else it will load the homebrew launcher by default.
