Hi!! I have a WiiU that has only been used last time 1-2 years ago, when it was 5.5.5. My problem is that at the time there was only browser exploits, I don't have any CFW installed (I think). To my understanding, the only way I got games into the system was by using a browser exploit to read my SD card and use the homebrew files and apps stored in the card. So I think nothing was installed. The thing is that I wanted to add more games but nothing is working, it won't read my SD card no matter how many approaches and fixes I take. I formatted the card a million times (FAT32, 32k), I cleaned the SD port, I named the card properly, the files are in their correct location, nothing is working. So I just want to upgrade the CFW and take my chances with something better.
Can I just go ahead and install Tiramisu or I need to know something in order to not fuck things up????
PLeasE, have in mind that I'm really no good with this stuff, so be patient. I've seen people in threads replying very rude to people like me.

You can't upgrade something which isn't installed. So let's start at the basics:
- Do you see "Autobooting" on the gamepad when booting the Wii U?
- Do you have a game called "DO NOT TOUCH" installed?

In case your answer to both questions is no go ahead and install Tiramisu but keep in mind that you need a working SD card for doing so.

No "autobooting" message on the gamepad and no game called "DO NOT TOUCH"

I guess it's all safe. Dope

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies

  • S @ salazarcosplay:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
