So after watching a few videos about not updating to 5.5.2, I ran to my Wii U and did the DNS thing to stop the updates, and I even loaded up mocha from the homebrew launcher to make sure I was on the right firmware. And I was! So I shut down my Wii U, (basically unplugged it), and went to bed. When I turned it on in the morning, there was no red X on the download manager, and when I went in the download manager, there was no software update in the queue. But it still said it was downloading something. I am really confused and someone please help me.
I wouldn't worry about it as long as you're on 5.5.1. I just did a very similar thing, the red cross was there, I restarted the Wii, and now it's gone.

The X comes and goes , the only thing that you must be worried about is to make sure that you have those DNS in your Wii u settings , if you got that you're safe (although I would recommend to also block Nintendo URLs in your modem for extra protection)
The Wii U wants to update gamesoftware/system software.
Since you got Nintendo blocked via DNS, it displays that red X.
Anyway, you're safe to update to 5.5.2 if you got haxchi and Mocha.
Just disable the DNS temporarily and update it.

It's not safe to update if the op is using mocha as it needs the browser exploit to load. If you mean loading mocha through haxchi this is pointless as you are loading a cfw to load another cfw.
That's basically what I said.
If OP has haxchi, OP is safe to update.
Using CFW to load CFW.. I've seen worse things...

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

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?

@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

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

@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!

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
