Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to set up tiramisu on a used Wii U I bought for a few days now following the hacks guide exactly, and I keep getting the error “FSO open failed. file missing vol/external101/wiiu/payload.elf” every time. Here’s what I tried so far:
1. I made sure payload file was there
2. I tried another sd card, both I tried were Sandisk, one was 170mb/s 64gb and one was a different sandisk 140mb/s 128gb, both were formatted to fat32 with 32k clusters with guiformat, both reformatted repeatedly
3. Tried blowing the slot with an air compressor, then reseating the sd card I’ve done it like 20 times at this point, gently ofc
4. I went and download the payload.elf file separately, deleted it in the tiramisu package and placed that separately downloaded payload.elf file.
5. It’s a used Wii U looks kinda old, so I was scared the sd card was busted but nope, I went to MiiMaker and saved a picture of my Mii onto the sd card, I checked on my pc the the picture was there just fine.
At this point I’m pretty stumped, and bummed since the only reason I bought it instead of a switch was to hack it for fun and it was cheaper, but not that much cheaper. My only other idea was I heard that the Wii U gamepad having a bad signal could cause it, and I have noticed the signal is a little shotty at times but overall it works fine. I bought the mica2 chip but that won’t come for a week or two.
Any other things I can try?? Thank you
