    Hacking Current options to play games on USB HDD...

    Thanks. I'm amazed at the Usb Helper app, it's so much easier than scrabbling around torrent sites as you say. I've invested in a 64gb sd card and am about to get a usb3 reader too! Still a bit mystified about the lack of unpacking to pc part, but my knowledge isnt great on that, read...

    Tutorial Community noob guide to Wii U hacking

    Thanks - just worked this out. It's a bit of a fiddle using USB Helper to download games, then copy them to SD card and then install with WUP Installer from there onto the USB drive. Well it was a bit easier with the Wii as the hard drive filesystem could be accessible by the PC also, but I'm...

    Hardware Resetting Premium WiiU for selling but to keep preinstalled games?

    It's on 5.5.2 now, hence the sale. But I dont see how they could be pirated as it all looks stock. Also lots of other consoles have a couple of preinstalled games (with no media), it seems a common package.

    Hardware Resetting Premium WiiU for selling but to keep preinstalled games?

    Hi I wish to sell on a Premium Wiiu that I purchased secondhand refurbished from a high st gaming store. It came with Mario Kart 8 and some other game preinstalled, so I guess it was a Premium console. I've seen several threads about this topic (but not on this site) and everything I read...

    Hacking Current options to play games on USB HDD...

    Useful info, thanks. I'm just starting out on this journey but followed the Noob guide and put on Haxchi and CBHC. Does that matter? TBH my head is spinning with all the different options and I don't know what to choose. With my old Wii it seemed a lot simpler to load games onto a USB HD. My...

    Tutorial Community noob guide to Wii U hacking

    I took the plunge and installed CBHC, everything seemed to go as described, I changed the CBHC menu options and got to step 15. The guide says "you will see the text on the gamepad screen autobooting into a sigpatched sysNAND" but I've no idea what the latter is. All I see is the normal WiiU...

    Yes it is. So should I do another dump to be sure? Or can certain errors be disregarded?

    Ok tx. I'm just waiting to hear if my NandDump has any issues before I proceeed with installing CBHC. (The NANDdump tool appears to just exit straight after finishing and it took some hours so I couldn't check if it had run successfully. So I ran the Nandchecker tool and it reported a couple of...

    Homebrew Official NAND Dumper - Create full dumps of the NAND

    Hi I'm looking to verify my NAND Dump as after the tool finishes it appears to have exited and I just see the WiiU Menu. (It would be cool if it could pause after the dump finishes so I could see if there any errors) Will nandBinCheck.exe do this for all the dump?

    Tutorial Community noob guide to Wii U hacking

    I don't know for sure as there's no title or anything on the page and forgive my ignorance but I don't really know what HBL is. It comes up with a menu of options for HB App Store, Coldboot Haxchi Installer, Haxchi Installer, NANDDumper, NNU-Patcher. I've also just swapped my 64GB SDCard for an...

    Tutorial Community noob guide to Wii U hacking

    Happy to help. The step about installing CBHC says "First make sure that you have a working legit HaxChi install (Step 2.)" So how do I do this? I downloaded a legit DS game from eStore, selected it when installing HaxChi, and it said "Done installing Haxchi!" but is there any specific test I...

    Tutorial Community noob guide to Wii U hacking

    I finally got HB Launcher to run. The only thing I did differently after multiple attempts was to check google beforehand, then loadiine.ovh seemed to load properly. I tried resetting the saved data each time too. However I got stuck trying to download the DS game which remained at pending. The...

    Or you can just disconnect the internet from your router while you setup the WiiU's wifi settings. Might prove unpopular with anyone else in the house while you do it though. ;-)

    Tutorial Community noob guide to Wii U hacking

    OK, I made sure I had the kill switch ready on the router, double checked the DNS was manually set and then unblocked the WiiU MAC address on the router. I opened the Internet Browser which tried to load "loadiine.ovh.". Something came up but the page instantly went to a very light grey font on...

    Tutorial Community noob guide to Wii U hacking

    Erm, yes I was using the current guide. I was just answering your question as to which guide I was using. The archive.org URL shows what the guide used to say when I was using it, but then 5.5.2 came out and basically meant that I got caught out. The guide has since been changed to remove the...

    Tutorial Community noob guide to Wii U hacking

    OK that's a surprise, given the Noob Guide saying "Haxchi eliminates the need to go online with your Wiii U browser to get to the Homebrew Launcher app. " Yes I have MAC address blocking due to the paranoia. If I disable that and rely on the DNS blocking then that might fail for some reason...

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
