    Tutorial Region Changing the Wii U

    Hi everyone, I recently region-changed a 32 GB Japanese Wii U to EUR. I also successfully region-changed the Japanese GamePad to EUR. Because this console has a failing Hynix eMMC, I set it up to run RedNAND directly from the SD card. I have changed the system language a few times, but I’ve run...

    Hacking UDPIH: USB Host Stack exploit + Recovery Menu

    Make sure you use a working USB data cable; check it by connecting your phone to a PC. You should connect the cable when the first "Wii U" logo appears. My Wii U performs two disk checks, with a 2-3 second pause in between checks and the logo appears immediately after the second one. On the...

    Hacking UDPIH: USB Host Stack exploit + Recovery Menu

    I just tried it out of curiosity with my Steam Deck, and it actually worked with my Wii U. I can see the menu on the GamePad, and after trying a few options, everything seems to be working. Previously, I set up my Steam Deck exactly according to the manual, following every step and command, even...

    3DS Recovery Menu Not Working After Region Change

    I have just tried it on my region-changed Japanese 3DS LL, and I can confirm that editing the config file does not work. I haven't researched the problem since my last post in this thread, so I am not sure if there has been any progress or a new method to solve the issue.

    Tutorial How to setup USBMLC to fix system memory error 160-0103 (failing eMMC) without soldering

    I’ve set things up so that after configuring USBMLC, the last partition on the drive is used as the MLC replacement. I have a few questions about how this behaves: Is this “emulated” MLC partition formatted as WFS internally so installing games they are written directly to this emulated MLC...

    Tutorial How to setup redNAND to fix system memory error 160-0103 (failing eMMC) without soldering

    Hi, I need help setting up redNAND on my Wii U. I have a Japanese 32GB console with a failing Hynix eMMC. I followed the guides and was able to set everything up — I can boot into the redNAND(SD card) Wii U Menu without issues. However, when I try to boot Aroma using the 5payldr.ipx, I get a...

    Homebrew Japanese Consoles, Region Change, SOAP Transfer, System Transfer, & Pokémon Bank… A Fact-Finding Mission

    I’ve been wondering: why isn’t there any mention of an alternative method to achieve the same outcome as a “soap transfer”? If someone owns two or more consoles of the same region, they could simply perform an official system transfer to another console first. That would release the source...

    3DS Recovery Menu Not Working After Region Change

    I found some info on discord. Apparently region change breaks Safe Mode: safe mode doesn't work on region changed consoles because luma doesn't patch cfg on it to load the changed SecureInfo_C And a workaround is to edit luma config file: open sd:/luma/config.ini, find...

    N3DS XL (LL) won't boot into Safe Mode - black screen

    I'm having exactly the same issue. Have you ever managed to fix it? Is there a chance that the Safe Boot is a separate firmware part that is not being updated through the process of region change?

    Hi, I’m posting here since I haven’t gotten any answers to my query on Reddit. After completing a region change on two New 3DS LL consoles (Japanese → European), everything seemed to go smoothly. Both consoles work fine, including eShop access. I followed the guide on 3ds.hacks.guide. Before...

    Tutorial Homebrew app USB Partition - Use partitioned USB HDDs with the Wii U

    Are you using a single USB drive setup with ISFShax? If so, have you tried plugging the USB drive into a different USB port? What cIOS versions are you using with USBLoaderGX and WiiFlow? I had problems with a dual USB drive setup, and only cIOS 251 worked somewhat reliably—and only when the...

    Tutorial Homebrew app USB Partition - Use partitioned USB HDDs with the Wii U

    Use MBR when creating partitions and the last NTFS partition would be used as WiiU partition by plugin if everything is done correctly. I have three partitions on 4 TB drive: first - FAT32 for Wii homebrew and SD emulation, second - NTFS for large wii game dumps and other large over 4 GB files...
