Trying to install eshop games with wupinstaller but it just seems to hang on "installing" and it doesn`t move from 0%.
Anyone else have this problem??
Only having this problem with eshop games, regular retail games install fine.

Are you running haxchi or mocha before you Install them if not that is your problem as eshop games need haxchi or mocha to work.

Yes haxchi

EDIT.....and I`m assuming they can be installed on USB? or does it have to be NAND?
No they will install to USB fine how do you have your haxchi set up does it automatically boot to haxchi cfw or does it load to the homebrew launcher automatically??

No autoboot.
Haxchi > HBL > wupinstaller
Using HaxChi like that won't get you into CFW. You're just using it as an entry point for HBL.

Change the config.txt in the HaxChi folder on your SD to say "default=sysmenu". Then reinstall HaxChi over the top of itself to apply the change.

Now when you tap HaxChi you're in CFW.

Now you have to find a way into HBL. You can setup HaxChi so you hold B to get into HBL the same way you did with config.txt above. I prefer to install the HBL channel (just like your eshop games you'll have to first tap HaxChi so you're in CFW). But you at least have to get in there once after being in CFW to install the HBL channel. Just launch HBL from loadiine.ovh and then WUP Installer GX2 to install the HBL channel (but remember tap HaxChi 1st)

Before trying to install anything that requires CFW check first to make sure that you're in HaxChi CFW by looking at your Wii U settings. It should say 99.99.99 as your version number

I already have the config.txt as default=sysmenu.
I already have the HBL Channel installed.
It already shows 99.99.99.
and FYI I`m getting the eshop games via usbhelper

It's one thing to have "default=sysmenu" in the config.txt on your sd card but DID YOU reinstall haxchi over your current haxchi so it can take the new settings
because just changing the default in the config txt won't do anything.

Did you miss the fact the op said sys menu is showing firmware 99.99.99 which means haxchi has been set up right and the cfw is running so obviously he has reinstalled it already with the correct cfg.txt

Don`t remember reading any tutorial that Haxchi had to be installed twice ("reinstall Haxchi over the current Haxchi"????) Isn`t changing the config.txt prior to installing Haxchi part of the correct process/procedure?
When it shows firmware version 99.99.99....doesn`t that mean Haxchi CFW is installed?
If I can get into the Homebrew channel.....doesn`t that mean Haxchi CFW is installed?

True but you should read everything correctly and make sure you know what you are talking about before giving advice or you run the risk of looking like an idiot lol.

Yes i may look like an idiot but it still doesnt give you the right to call me one, you could of simply said that i misread and i was wrong

Your really not getting it are you lol you are on a site where a lot of technical things are discussed and giving wrong information can lead to bricks or other fuck ups you really need to read everything correctly and know what you are talking about before replying and make sure you are giving correct information. But sorry for upsetting you by calling you an idiot.

Did I say that it was to do with haxchi?? No I said in general you have to give good advice before commenting. And if I'm not here to help why have I being trying to help the op then hmm. I gave you friendly advice in how to use the site by telling you to always give correct advice and to read everything correctly but if you don't want to listen that's cool. You will soon learn how this site operates from others even without my help lol. If you can't take constructive criticism and if you are offended by being called an idiot this site really is not for you sorry because people here will call you a whole lot worse than that.

You are correct, I almost began to second guess myself...like I did something wrong? etc...

BUT back to my issue.....this is my first attempt to install eshop games, thats why it was odd that they would not install...it just hangs/freezes at 0% installling, I have to press the home button to get me back out to the system menu.

UPDATE......
Now nothing will install to USB....retail games, eshop, dlc, updates, etc..
Installing to NAND works....then I can move to USB via data management copy/move

EDIT....whats the difference between wupinstaller and the GX version?

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @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!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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 @ 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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
