Hacking Multiple problems with my Wii U after homebrewing it yesterday

[Lennyf]

Hi everyone,

I followed the Wii U homebrew guide over at wiiu.guide.

Everything worked smootly, and I could play games fine yesterday evening.
Now today, I wanted to play Wii Sports Club.Keep in mind that I have the DNS for the Nintendo update servers set so they can't update.
I got the error code "102-2471" while trying to play Wii Sports Club and I got error code "115-5111" while launching Wii Party U (just after the game launched, after clicking away the error the game works fine, don't know about online though).

I've googled several times on these error codes but I couldn't find an answer.

I've also noticed that if I insert my Mario Kart 8 disc and play the game (both when I've started Haxchi up and when I haven't), I get stuck on the Mario Kart 8 screen. I have to hold the power button on the Wii U to turn it off and turn it back on again.


I'm taking a wild guess that something's not right and I've messed something up, and I hope someone can actually tell me what I did wrong, and how I can possibly fix this.


Thanks in advance!

First of all the wiiu.guide is bad.
You can simply use a guide from here to delete the update folder so you'll never have to worry about it again.
Then you can disable your DNS settings and update your game as normal.
I use haxchi with the latest firmware, but you can also install just the version indicator from 5.5.2, I don't know if this was part of the wiiu.guide.

Thanks for your reply.

So, I have to put the .elf file in \apps\ftpiiu\ (self-made folder), launch it through the Homebrew Launcher, and then follow the guide you've linked?

I'm no expert in this whole scene so please bare with me as I can ask the stupidest questions


Also, I'm running 5.5.2 E

if you have the haxchi icon on your home screen and can boot into cfw using it you can just update it works on the latest update

I am on the latest update (5.5.2) and I do have the Haxchi and Homebrew Launcher icons, can I get rid of the DNS settings then?

yeah 5.5.2 is the latest and i highly doubt nintendo will release another update

Thanks for the info, I removed the DNS settings, but I still get error code 102-2471 when I launch Wii Sports Club, and straight after that it still says that it couldn't find an internet connection...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Update: The Wii U freezing on Mario Kart 8 seems to only appear with Mario Kart 8. Yoshi's Woolly World launched fine.

Update number 2: I'm taking a wild guess that I can't play online because I'm launching games through Loadiine. Whoops, my bad.


Though, this doesn't explain why my (retail disc) Mario Kart 8 completely freezes the console upon launch. Is there anything I can do about that?

loadiine is offline only i assume you downloaded the games through wii u usb helper

 

[Lennyf]

I can't state where I have downloaded my games from, but yeah, that's whats causing my error codes.


Also, apparently the MK8 problem had fixed itself. I was going to record what happens for if anyone asks, and when I was recording it launched fine and I could play online with no issues.
It's like these things have a sixth sense, every time you record it does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to be doing.

This issue, for my part, is closed

You need to read through the noob guide. This is why we don't recommend wii.guide
