The games will be on the home menu, but won't load without the CFW first. Same with installing with WUPinstaller: load CFW first then install.

Now I get it, so it means that whatever I installed using the CFW sysnand, will only be playable if I run fw.img? Same goes for DLCs and other stuff that normally wont work in Brazilian method?(unless I installed the game with the correct ticket)
I also think that Brazilian Method is safe from firmware updates, since Nintendo thinks that all your games are officially owned by you.
Question:
if i install haxchi, will Iosuhax still work (to use dlc for example)? Do I still need iosu?
Thanks

Not sure how stupid this question is on a scale of 1 to 10, but I couldn't figure out the answer myself even after doing a ton of searches on Google and the forum so:
Is it currently known whether or not haxchi will be useless/obsolete if/when SALT releases their work? I'd rather not drop $4.99 on Mass Attack if I can avoid the necessity just by waiting, as little as the cost is.

It's hilarious the amount of people that can't justify spending $5 for hundreds of dollars worth of free content.... tightasses

Honestly? Buy the VC or keep using the web exploit. iirc there's a Health and Safety exploit on the way; though that's only at the "crashed the app" stage.
It's worth noting that unless SALT gets their act together or they have one hell of a userbase, their tools probably won't get much notice from homebrew devs. They've already stated that HBL is "obsolete" so I find it unlikely that everything will be cross-compatible out of the box.

Wow, there is a lot of stuff going on regarding wii u scene. Don't know where to start!! am on 5.3.2 and ill update 5.5.1. Now there is this haxchi hack that's the same as web hack but permanent right? It requires a ds game downloaded from eshop, but, cant you use a title installed with another method? what would be the diference? Now what about this sysNANDCFW that seems to be a better option than redNAND ( which requires a big SD and stuff) once again dont know the diference between these two. As i understood it, once you enter homebrew channel you trigger the sysNANDCFW to allow wupinstaller to be able to install all kind of stuff and that you need to run this sysNANDCFW, every time you want to use this content. This sysNANDCFW is, therefore, a emuNAND right? where is it located? Sorry if im toalking nonsenses but as you cant see dont know really where to start with all this new info... Thank you in advance for any help you may offer me!!
Haxchi and the web hack are both means of kicking off some code, e.g. Homebrew Launcher, so in that sense they're kind of the same. One difference though, is that Haxchi lives inside the content of an installed ds game, so once Haxchi is installed, it'll be available to you just like that game would have been. It'll be on the WiiU menu, and it doesn't need an active network connection in order to run. However, like most other titles, it has to be executed when (and each time) you start the WiiU.
While it's likely that some easily installable NUS titles (ones that we could install using disc-sourced tickets) could be exploited with a content hack, this particular hack uses games whose legitimate tickets can currently only come from eshop. Keep in mind that you just need to exploit some vulnerability to get your first bit of code running, and Haxchi takes advantage of convenient features of the VC DS implementation to do that.
The idea of using redNAND is to be working from a copy so that if you screw up your copy, you'll still have your original. Plus, since you're initializing using patched code, the patches are there before the system encounters any titles or modifications which would rely on them. The thing is, we've found that as long as you don't do stupid things, the stock 5.5.1 WiiU (without the patches being active) doesn't care much about illegitimate code until you try to run it. Most people are happy to install their fake-ticketed games and DLC on their real NAND, so they choose to skip having redNAND, and simply execute the patches after the system is up and running.
Whether you're talking about loading a pre-modified image, or applying the patches 'live', yes, you need to run it each time you boot. Even if you convince the WiiU to run it for you (coldboothax), or simplify its execution (haxchi), you have to get it to run.
It's not emuNAND. Signature checks and a couple other things are patched, but you're making all of your installs/deletes/saves and everything else right on your real NAND.
Man, you're great!! Thank you nexusmtz for your reply. Im starting to understand the stuff, although i need to investigate a lot more. I want to get all those advantages like installing DLC and other stuff i dont know yet. Cause till now, i've been using loadiine and stuff and everything is running smooth, but im interested in getting all those other features. That means that redNAND would be the emuNAND but systemNAND CFW is simple the main NAND? (wHY IS CALLED cfw then?) So what would be, the steps for me to follow, in a summarized way of course, to get redNAND and all those fancy features?. For now ill keep using web hack instead of haxchi but i thing ill be able to achieve the rest of the tasks. What about IOSU? Too much to find out!! xD Thank you again!!

CFW Booter with the proper fw.img, Simple Sign_patcher, and Dimok's not-yet-named iosuhax.elf will do most of what you'd want without having to use redNAND, if you don't want to jump into that.
The 'cfw' is the patched fw.img. If the patches being made include redirection of NAND access to the sdcard, then it would be a redNAND cfw. If the redirection part is left out, then of course, your regular NAND gets used. I guess that would more accurately be called non-redNAND cfw, but it's not really replacement firmware, so they're just names.
Don't do redNAND yet. Learn things a step at a time. Get familiar with installing using the 'Brazilian method'. Then get Sign Patcher and also learn how to create fake tickets for things like DLC, where the real tickets aren't available. Then decide if you need cfw/redNAND.
Some of the programs you run may need that access (and know how to get it), but you probably won't use it yourself right away.

, Reason: didn't mean keys. good luck faking those.
You can use dimok's fw.img for region free. http://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-setup-rednand-w-sigpatches.446818/
