Hacking Can't seem to browser hack wii-u on 5.5.2

Silithas · Sep 19, 2017

Could not load file /wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.

This is the message i got.

This was the guide:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-noob-guide-to-wii-u-hacking.451297/

Required files is where they should be. Both the homebrew launcher and nandbackup.

The 64GB sdcard is formatted to fat32.

I don't see the error message.

EDIT: Oh, the error is the first line lol

Also what's the type of the SD card?

Make sure you format your card as fat32. Sdxc cards are exfat by default, which the wii u can't read.

Do you have homebrew_launcher.elf in that folder? The .rpx will not work I think.

I did the same with a SDXC and couldn't boot Coldboot, I switched to a SDHC and it worked perfectly, maybe that's the issue....

It says that any size will do as long as it's fat32. And since i ain't got a 32GB, only 64GB which even is recommended for us with 32GB wii-u, then i have no other choice.

As the guide instructs: Download the latest version of HBL here. Don't download the Channel version, instead download "homebrew_launcher.v1.4.zip" (Under the section "Release v1.4").

HBL 1.4 has it.

I didn't download the channel version. And it was the 2.1 launcher that had the RPX for some reason :S

Anyways thanks, will try again with the wood elf

Btw, what's the trick to not let the console freeze with the browser exploit?

2.1 is the latest version of channel. 1.4 is the latest launcher. That's why it (2.1) has only rpx.
There is no trick with exploit to get it run every time, only patience and retries until it hits.

Yeah. So after the backup of my nand, how do i use the channel, and where on the sdcard do i put it?

CAn i stay in the HBL while i eject the sdcard to put on more launcher apps to launch without having to do the same tiresone retries until it hits? do i have to do the web exploit every time? Or do i now have a HBL on the "desktop" now?

If you dont have HaxChi then you'll have to go through the browserhax any time you want to install a new title or play any homebrew apps. Also if you install non legit DLC for a game it wont work without CFW which youll have to use Mocha for which youll need browserhax again.

Really it's just much easier to install HaxChi and use it for CFW.

You can't install the HBL channel without first being in some form of CFW
