Hi guys,

I just installed Haxchi and the Homebrew Channel Launcher yesterday. Everything was working perfectly fine, but today I've turned on my Wii U, loaded up Haxchi, held down A, and I continually get a black screen with "-4" in the top left corner.

Does anybody know what this means and how to fix it?

Also, when I try to boot into HBL from the channel icon after running Haxchi once, it loads up to the blue screen with the bubbles, but nothing else appears. No menu, no nothing.

Thank you.

Now I am also getting a "-5" error.

Hello,

Have you inserted your SD into the wii U ??
Hi Jeannotte!

yes, it's in there. I've also tried 3 other SD cards with the same data, and the issue persists with all of them :/

I believe I've found the problem.

I've been trying to Micro SDXC 64gb cards inside of an adapter .. I just used a regular SD card and everything works fine.
Apparently however, a Micro SDXC should work fine??

Why is mine not working? I've formatted it to FAT32 and given it 64kb cluster sizes ..

Old thread, I know, but I have been scouring the forum without getting any hits. I used EaseUS Partition Master and it formatted logical.. several hours later I realized why I was getting the -4 error. Changed to Primary and voila; my Seagate 128gb micro SD works perfect.

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(

    Loved that game lol
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, sorry for the stupid suggestion I had in that thread
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
