Alright Guys,

Been trying to get this working all night i eventually got HBMenu on my 64GB MicroSDXC Evo , i was able to boot into HB after i used rufus tool to format to FAT32 and had the hbmenu files on the root of the card, i wanted to use checkpoint and placed it in the switch folder, when i went back to launch the firmware in RCM for the second time i get a red error message saying "failed to mount the SD card" ever since then i can't get back into hbmenu because of the above message never mind accessing checkpoint. I have tried a 32GB card in FAT32 format also. Any help i would appreciate it thanks!

I am on 5.0.2, i installed the software for my SDCard on the switch prompt.
I used checkpoint 3.1.0
hekate ipl 5.0

I am also using the TegraRCM to inject my payload.

I am currently using the same card formatted in exFAT. I mentioned this in another thread but honestly just try combinations of normal booting and reinserting the card. For me at least, it sometimes just doesn't want to work. I would try that before trying to remodify the card.

Do you have all your files properly in place? I noticed if I had any stray file (even if completely unrelated) on the root of the sd it would give me that error.

I think this error will never die..

Use an updated hekate - ipl.
(hint: rajkosto's binaries and my binaries work)
I'll try your payload and report back

not sure how to use rajkostos payload unfortunately as they are individual files

I retried it and it worked. All I did was (using Windows 8.1 built-in format) format to exFAT with 4096KB allocation size, downloaded the sd files from Jan4V/hekate-ipl-50x, put the extracted zip in the root, ran the payload, and it worked just fine.

My switch is unpatched, i have put all the required atmosphere files on my SD card, the SD card works fine on booting switch normally, however when I try to inset the payload, i get this message . Fatal Error, failed to initialize the SD card: Press Power to Reboot. ( note I have replaced the SD card slot and bought a new SD card) ..not sure what's the problem. anyone can help?

I'm running firmware10.2

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
