yes it is. i did put back it's original battery but it does seem to work on its own. I get a white screen with a message that tells me to power on the wiiu. If i press the pad's sync button it does show me the pairing sequence so i don't really know what to check anymore. I did make sure every wires were back in place but i want to make sure everything works before screwing everything back.

btw the blue led baterry of the wiiu pad light up for a couple seconds then not light but the controller still work.

I've read a post by fix94, the developer of cbhc or at least the installer for it, that cbhc can sometimes fail to install. it shouldn't cause the system to brick, just relaunch the installer. as far as something like that above post happening, I dunno. I use my wii u almost daily, and I've had cbhc installed for four or five years, and I've never had any real issues with it. I've done almost every hack on both systems except for indexiine and ios 80 patching on the virtual wii, and so far everything has gone well. I've also uninstalled cbhc when I was going to switch from yoshi's island ds to brain age. never had an issue there. I deleted yoshi's island ds and redownloaded it from the eshop.
I usually don't have any issue when modding my console. I also mod about just everything I touch. The only console i havent is the switch.
The WiiU was more of a temporary console. It had multiple owners before me. I did do a format originaly so i'm pretty sure nothing was wrong with the NAND. It was bought when nintendo already discontinued it. So i modded it with brain age. Imported everything that was on my old wii. modded the wii side also. Also didn't have any issue Just that i wanted something more permanent to load my isos without having to open another app to enable a mod. Anywais long story short i'm here with a halfway restore wiiu lool.
I did read brick happened if you formatted the console without removing the brain age hack or whatever the mod was called. I think I recall it was redNAND.
.I guess i'll call it and sell it as is. I,ll include the SD card with opt.bin and the original slc.bin i exported. It should still get a decent value with it's box and everything.
I've used rednand (even have the nand backup from it, which is the first one I showed you without the syshax.xml, since it had no cbhc). I too haven't modded the switch at all. I don't really want to be a part of any scenes after the ps4 scene, and it's mostly the ps3 and the ps4 scenes that have made me feel that way. it's full of a bunch of ungrateful children and efame whores.
you're absolutely right about that. I've seen the whole 3.41-3.55 CFW deblacle also the GTAV modding scene
Check what all subboard and coax cables connect correctly.
Maybe system.xml edit not propertly (lost some strokes or etc.), firstly check correct assembly
everything is working now. I rechecked the console wireless module. That one in front with the USB ports. It came lose a bit. There is always an easy explanation.

yes it was an 101 error. again. i'm too dumb for this shit lol. Thank you guys and thank you very much for that tool omg what a life saver that was.

All good if you know what you do. Anyway im against the cbhc - after boot not so hard launch pathed ds game - if something go wrong you not get 160-0103
yes everything is ok now it was mecanical. The wireless connector came a bit lose.

Say what you will but a mod that bricks your console if you format it is pretty dumb imho.
it's a pretty ridiculous exploit. there's supposed to be something else coming out called aroma, which installs to one of the system apps, like health and safety instead of needing a ds game. I don't know if it's a cbhc replacement or just haxchi though. I only learned about it recently.
That's what I don't understand is why that late in the game have a system breaking mod as the main exploit. I do get that there are warning everywhere when you follow those guides but still. I don't read about this stuff every day so when it comes down to it i have to remeber what I did like 4-5 years earlier to be certain not to brick a system? idsk man ..The tutorial I followed was up to date when i read i'm sure about it. I bought that console the year the switch came out btw. idk i might not know enough to see the whole picture but still i'm gald everythng worked out with this guide. Considering this was the ONLY guide out there i'm pretty lucky to have revived my odd brick lol.

it kinda reminds me of some early exploits for other consoles. I've been with the vita since the beginning, and originally, to use homebrew, you had to use unity and velf files wirelessly from the the pc. the license for it had to be renewed daily. you could renvew it days later, so you didn't have to renew every day, just when you were going to use it. and, it was unstable as hell.
oh yes that must have been something. This stuff is easier tho when you stay around it. I've been in and out so i don't really stay up to date with the modding scenes.
definitely. I still dread the 200+ steps of installing a9lh on the 3ds, when that was a thing. it took me about 6 hours on each of my 2 3ds. one is still using it, but I don't play it at all. it's an o3ds. I use a majora's mask n3ds xl. funny thing is that I spend so much time exploiting these systems, and backing things up, that I never play any games. with the wii u, which is the only system I play games on aside from the switch, I always play the same five games.
that's exactly my case too. I setup everything up pack the system up to the brim then leave it sleeping for half a decade. I just sold a hyrule edition which i modded and reverted back. It went smoother since I bricked my wiiu half an hour earlier lol I did take the time to read up before formatting.

I don't know why it even had you setup the gamepad again. I think the wiiu and the wii has a syscon file that contains pairings for all controllers. I only learned about it from Cyan, when I mentioned that a pro controller I had synced after creating a neek emunand would unsync after loading a game with neek. I thought I'd have to redo the neek emunand with the new pairing. not really a problem since I only have two games on there, and they're both backed up in my wiiware database. anyway, he mentioned injecting the syscon into the neek nand, which I did by changing the custom path to neek in usb loader gx, then injecting the syscon into it. it worked. so, I think there's some sort of syscon file somewhere that affects both the wii u and the virtual wii. I assume the gamepad is in there as well, but I don't know for sure.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one
-
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
