Would there be a kind soul to help me a little bit ?
I'm trying to combine hbl2hbc abd Haxchi in order to boot into Wiiflow directly from the WiiU menu.
It looks like I'm on the right path since I can see the Wii logo, but then I'm brought back to the WiiU menu...
I can't figure what's happening...

Haxchi is configured to boot the hbl2hbc.elf, and the hbl2hbc.elf is configured to launch the DWFA title.

If you see the Wii logo then it's not an issue of Haxchi but of hbl2hbc. Seems like your hbl2hbc config is wrong.
You know that Wiiflow needs to be installed as a (forwarder) channel in vWii, right?

Ahah yes I know this, the forwarder is installed, I am the one who created lots of stuff for Wiiflow back in the days (Carbonik, green, violet, orange and orchid themes, and the matching forwarders by the way ;-) ),
so I have a bit of knowledge how to setup the Wii.
I had narrowed it down to the hbl2hbc config too, but I can't find what is wrong, it is DWFA=WiiFlow, as simple as this...

Wasn't aware of that. :P
Well if the channel definitely has the ID DWFA then I dunno unfortunately but it's definitely a HBL2HBC issue.
Would I be able to create a second HaxChi to autoboot to a Nintendont game? If so, how?
Haxchi + HBL2HBC + Nintendont Custom Channel

No problem mate ;-)
Yeah I definitely think it's a problem with hbl2hbc too.
Is there any way I can check the forwarder ID ? I made it a long time ago, it's supposed to be DWFA, but maybe someone has changed it since then, and it has been converted to vWii too, even if I don't think it changes the ID...
Oh well, is there a vWii version of anyTitleDeleter ?

Alright. Here's the issue I'm having. I have setup a 2nd haxchi using a non legit title from Wii U USB Helper. I have put this 2nd HaxChi on my USB to keep it as far away as possible from my CBHC HaxChi. It works just fine when launching but it always autoboots to HBL. I've changed the config file in SD:\HaxChi folder but it doesn't change anything on this 2nd HaxChi. Do I need to re-install HaxChi? I thought that was fixed.

Edit: Answer is yes, I had to move my 2nd HaxChi over from USB over to SD, install HaxChi over the top of it then move it back to USB. It now autoboots HBL2HBC. On to the next step

Haxchi + HBL2HBC + Nintendont Custom Channel
I'm missing a step here. I have 2nd HaxChi autobooting to HBL2HBC elf. Then that just boots to HBC. I have Nintendon't in there and it works fine. I have the custom channel installed and it's working fine. How do I make HBL2HBC autoboot to the custom channel instead of HBC? Or how do I make HBC autolaunch a specific app? Nintendont is set up to autoboot SSB.

Be sure you have the right id for your forwarder and be sure to edit your hbl2hbc.txt with a text editor i tried to edit mine without a text editor and it would always just load the homebrew channel by default.

As stated above yes just put the hbl2hbc.txt on the root of your SD card, and edit it to replace the "LULZ=Homebrew Channel", with the correct TITLE ID of your Nintendont forwarder.

Is the sdcard removed from wii when you started it up, did you install to internal or external hdd,if external make sure usb is plugged in. Also make sure your on latest release.

I installed it internally and no SD card is in the system and I don't think I've ever updated haxchi

Having no SD card does pretty much explain why you're getting the message that means that it can't see the SD card.

Anything you specify with a path in the haxchi config.txt loads from the given path on the SD card. That means that you can run haxchi sysmenu for patching without an SD, but running the HBL elf needs the SD.

Just download the newest version, overwrite everything on your SD card (except your config.txt if you wanna keep it) and run the Haxchi installer from HBL again.

    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.

    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
