Hi guys,

Just bought a WiiU that's running Haxchi. I can play my backup games without starting haxchi first, I can just run them once they are installed on the USB drive.

I am installing WiiU games using WUP Installer Method and it's working fine.

I tried to install some DLC like Mario Kart tracks, but it says CFW required. How can I know if a CFW was installed on my console, I bought it already configured with Haxchi but that's all I know.

Can I go to the Nintendo store on my WiiU, buy some DLC and use them with my games being installed on a USB drive?

What about Wii games, do I need something else to play them?

Thanks!

You must be in CFW environment before installing DLC.
If you got Wii U with Haxchi then check if SDCard has config.txt file in sdcard://haxchi
If it doesn't, then update it. [Newest version is 2.5u2 i suggest downloading Haxchi from PC to SDCard so you can already edit config.txt]
Insert your SDCard into your PC and locate haxchi folder in SDCard.
Edit it like this
a=wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf
b=wiiu/apps/<any directry/<.elf file> [Change to your most used homebrew app]
default=sysmenu [If nothing is pressed, it will boot into CFW by default]

For Wii games, you need to homebrew your vWii [I can't help you with that because i didn't touch my vWii since i bought it (it = Wii U)]
You can install vWii VC games but some will not run.

Ok, so I guess I have Haxchi but I am not booting into CFW by default. Gonna check my SDCard when I go home, thanks for the help!

Just to clarify one point only some out of region Wii VC games won't work all for your region will work fine.
