Homebrew Haxchi doesn't open

[Deleted User]

i found a bigger sd than i had before.
i formatted it and put all the datas in the new one.
when i was trying to open haxchi and install a new game from WUP Installer GX2 (obviously from usb helper and on install folder), the homebrew channel does not open and goes into a verbose boot wich is written:"-4"
pls help.

This error is probably SD card related. Try reformatting again to FAT32. Also make sure your new SD is not fake.

A fake SD card will be advertised (for example) as a 32GB card, but really is only 4GB. So anything you write on it that goes over 4GB will simply overwrite what you already wrote. So as you can see, useless. A SD card should be bought from a good reputation brand, and also from a good reputation store with good return policy. Amazon is OK but only if you buy directly from amazon, not a third party seller. Pay attention when you order. P.S. Ebay not recommended to buy an SD card.

The fix is to buy a genuine card, my friend. Nothing you can do with the fake one except use it for its real capacity. Normally, if you buy a fake one online, return it to the seller and open a dispute. But I guess it's too late in your case.
