So, basically, I needed to format the SD card from my WiiU since I needed it for something else and I can't find my backup.

Also, I lend my wiiU to a friend and the WiiU kinda updated (forgot to told him to change the DNS of his WiFi connection).

From what I read, 5.5.3 shouldn't be a problem thought.

But, now I'm trying to start the HBC via Haxchi (holding A while launching it a second time after starting CFW) and the hbc doesn't start. I figured I needed the file on my SD card. So I followed the step of the WiiU hack guide website but it doesn't seems to do the trick.

What am I forgetting?

Think you just need to put back the necessary file for you to be able to run haxchi, and use the custom haxchi config file I believe.

Also your shortcuts probably need to be re-done. Holding a to get to HBC is a shortcut.

Next time before you format your card copy all the files over to your computer so you can just move them back. You made it unnecessarily hard on yourself.

How do I do this? I simply need to get the latest Haxchi .zip and change the config file?

Well, as I said I did made that backup before formatting the SD card. But I can't find where I put it (it was like 1 years ago)

Inside haxchi edit the config.txt. This is how mine looks for reference. But if your files are setup different you have to do them to your files (i.e. if the .elf is just in apps you'd do a=wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher.elf)

a=wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf
b=sysmenu
y=wiiu/apps/mocha/mocha.elf

Nah, the actually used config.txt is inside the DS game, the one in the SD is only used by the installer

I'm sorry but no that's wrong then you wouldn't be able to change them I've changed mine recently and used them and the shortcuts work exactly as I posted above (i.e. y for mocha) in the config.txt in the haxchi folder.

But you re-ran the installer afterwards, didn't you?

The official build at least can only read config.txt from romfs

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
