    Hacking What are the button values for Retroarch?

    I'm trying to remap 'reset' in retroarch so the game doesn't reset whenever I Fierce Punch (it defaults to L1). I was able to switch menu toggle to Start & Select within the UI (holy crap it was hard to press L1+L2+Start+Select on my OLED), but the UI doesn't allow for changing the reset...

    Hacking Need guidance on getting CPS-2 & MAME to work via Retroarch.

    I don't have a complete romset, and am trying this with only one rom so far (X-Men: Children of the Atom). Whenever I try to run the game in the FBA CPS-2 that comes with the latest nightly Retroarch build, it doesn't run and states no items. I have also never gotten a MAME rom to run ever...

    On 5.5.2 and am using Haxchi. I have a physical copy of Mario Maker that I've only played once. Tried playing it again today but it requires an update, which is not possible due to DNS blocking. I am tempted to temporarily remove the DNS block and auto-update Mario Maker, but I'm seeing a...

    Didn't want to repost my question (post #290) but wondering if anyone had any idea.

    That's a great question. Thanks for responding. The thing is I only have one computer (at least one that isn't a slow, basically broken Toshiba Satellite), and it's a Surface Pro 3. As awesome as the SP3 is, it has its limitations. One of these limitations is the SD port only fits micro SD...

    Hello and happy new year everyone! I am back because I finally managed to get an SD card that is larger than 2GB. I am currently having trouble sending files via FTP to my WiiU. Here is my step-by-step process so you know exactly where I'm at: I am using Haxchi and not CBHC. When I boot my...

    Thank you! Using the transfer tool only installs to NAND, correct? And installing to NAND is never a good idea unless I have it first installed on USB? Thank you as well! I recently set the default to sysmenu so I will give it another try after removing the SD card. Thanks for that info!

    A few noob Q's: 1) Is there a way to bypass an SD card and just install games from USB to USB? I think the answer to this is no, but I just want to be sure. Reason I ask is my SD card is only 2GB, but I have shit ton of USB sticks, various sizes. 2) I have Haxchi set up (non-CBHC). I noticed...

    Hacking Yet Another Noob Question: Wii U USB Helper to Haxchi/Mocha CFW to WUP woes

    Thank you for all of your guidance and help. Good news! It now works. After some more Googling I found that sysmenu is case sensitive, and thus should not have a capital 'M' for 'menu'. I was expecting some form of actual menu to pop up, but instead Haxchi would load and boot me back to the...

    Hacking Yet Another Noob Question: Wii U USB Helper to Haxchi/Mocha CFW to WUP woes

    Sorry I took so long. Had to walk the dog. The config.txt looks like this: a=fw.img b=wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf default=sysMenu b & default were originally switched. Edit: This config file is in the Haxchi folder which is in the root folder of the SD card. There's...

    Hacking Yet Another Noob Question: Wii U USB Helper to Haxchi/Mocha CFW to WUP woes

    Bummer so far. So at first I didn't know that I was supposed to reinstall Haxchi after editing the config.txt file. I set b to the .elf, and default to sysMenu. I then ran the Haxchi installer again form the HBL. After the reinstall, Haxchi still defaults to HBL (and WUP still has the sig...

    Hacking Yet Another Noob Question: Wii U USB Helper to Haxchi/Mocha CFW to WUP woes

    Thank you again for trying to work with me through this. Does it matter that I'm not using CBHC? I always open Haxchi from the main Wii U menu using the touch screen. Also, in the config.txt (which I'm assuming will go in Haxchi's root folder on the SD card?), I should set the .elf to a or b...

    OK so it doesn't actually say 'improper signature' but it does say Sig Patch is required. No clue what that is. Googling now. Thank you so much!

    OK I'll give it another shot. To be clear, you're saying that having Haxchi installed and accessing WUP thru Haxchi should do the trick? There's no separate 'Haxchi CFW' I need to download and install?
