Homebrew [Help] Blackscreen with -3 when opening Haxchi

[archielamp]

Hello! I'm new to Wii U hacking, so bear with me if this is a common question, but I'm stuck. Just yesterday, Haxchi opened and ran the Homebrew Launcher perfectly well, but now, when opening I'm thrust into a completely black screen with "-3" in the top corner. I'm not inputting any buttons while opening it, and the rest of the console runs perfectly fine.

Thanks!

-3 error means either something is wrong with your sd card or you are missing needed files.

Got it, I'll doublecheck my folders to see if I'm missing any boot files, etc. Thanks!

-3 error means either something is wrong with your sd card or you are missing needed files.

To be specific, it means that the SD Card could not be detected. It could be caused by a dusty SD Card slot so you can try and check if that's the case. Otherwise you can also try another SD Card to see if it works.
Edit: seems that if they are missing files, the error that would show up is -5, so that's not the issue.

Yes and you can also get a - 3 error if the SD card is write protected. So always good to check if the little tab is set to unlocked or locked

Reformatting the SD Card got me back into the homebrew launcher, regardless. Everything's working now!
