Hacking [Release] Haxchi Installer 1.2 (Noob friendly)

[the_randomizer]

Use this : https://github.com/FIX94/wuphax/blob/master/wupclient.py
As of the lines, replace like that : http://www.logic-sunrise.com/images/validation/in-110386648.png

Alright, will try this later, and if it still doesn't work, and gives syntax errors, then I'm officially done trying to dink around with it

 

[ShadowOne333]

I tried that, and another script, both yielded a stupid syntax error, despite the fact that I'm set up to use Python 2.7, so I don't know. It was proving way too infuriating for me, so I flat out gave up on trying to download the XML

It doesn't help not knowing what lines to edit with notepad ++


*sigh* I just don't know if I want to try it again, it was way too frustrating, can you recommend a wupclient script? @ShadowOne333

Pretty much what @vickdu31 said, you can change the lines form Haxchi to whatever else you want, I wrote Homebrew Launcher in there.

Alright, Thanks everyone, deleting and re-downloading Brain Age fixed the problem I had.
Weird how OLDER version dont, but newer version work with contenthax...

Anyways, this Installer is Awesome, and I would totally recommend it!

 

[plyscho]

Actually, some people have the same problem with brain age.
Would there be different game ID for demo or for something else ?
Or then some of the fix94 rom.zip have some problem. Before the 1.0 and 1.1 release, I re-downloaded all zip from his 1.7 release. But I highly doubt that.
Or maybe, the rom.zip location is different for some games/game version
usr/title/00050000/YOUR_GAME_TITLE_ID/content/0010/rom.zip
What if you try with the original wupclient manual commands with the same .zip ? (just rename the good one)

The european version is different, there will be a rom.zip for newsmb_eur soon, FIX94 has just created one.

It's working now and I'm more than happy with it!

 

[sleeperdk]

So i did it with 1.0 and it works.
The logo is new but the name is still the same
So in order to use 1.1 i can still keep the old game/mod with custom logo and install 1.1 over it ? Chose the game as brain game again right ?

Edit: Works perfect ^^
BUT Hombrew... hope it will be fix't to homebrew

Edit2: How to edit shortcut buttoms..
I have changed b to wiiu/apps/wupinstaller but it wont launch that

Uploading bootSound with w.up("bootSound.btsnd", "/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/title/00050000/10179B00/meta/bootSound.btsnd") and the command is just hanging there, blinking, no returns, no number 0, the file is 2800 or so KB, is it normal to take this long to upload it? I want to be sure that there's nothing wrong with the upload.

Edit: Working like a charm

 

[castdreams]

I finally got around to getting this set up today, and it worked perfectly. Not a single issue whatsoever. Launching this from the Quick Menu is super quick. (yeah, yeah, secret updates. I'm aware. )

 

[galneon]

I have a suggestion: A convenient way to remove the boot sound, or a bundled bit of dead air to overwrite it with as an option. Reinstalling and saying no to the boot sound will not remove it if it's already installed, and deleting the "game" and redownloading it from the eShop is annoying.

Awesome installer! Got HBL sitting comfortably on sysnand now

Thank you @vickdu31 and @FIX94 !

 

[LoganK93]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do this with Partners in Time? I can do the work to port it myself if someone could set me on the right path...

I'll fix the typo... Sorry. For wupinstaller, you need to include the .elf in the path. Your path is only to the folder.

I have a suggestion: A convenient way to remove the boot sound, or a bundled bit of dead air to overwrite it with as an option. Reinstalling and saying no to the boot sound will not remove it if it's already installed, and deleting the "game" and redownloading it from the eShop is annoying.

I don't know if the wii u is ok if a game doesnt have a bootsound. We would have to record one empty. If you really want to restore the one of the NDS i can implement it later but is it that important ?
Also if anyone have 'ew bootsound, I would be happy to include it !

just got done with uploading that, now includes a special file just for the eur version of it.

I suppose JAP version is the same as US version ? Im updating the tool now. You did not update any other .zip ?

 

[tunip3]

Can you use a version of the game with a fake ticket on rednand to get haxchi on rednand

 

[MattKimura]

Thanks for your useful script OP! I just installed Haxchi tonight with ease. This should become mainstream! It installed so my sysnand, game installed to NAND.
I have a question, can you use quickstartmenu with Haxchi and it's safe since it's not coldbooting? That would be pretty convenient to easily startup cfw.

Here's my config file if anyone who's new to this wants to get ideas:

Spoiler

a=wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf
b=wiiu/apps/wupinstaller/wupinstaller.elf
x=wiiu/apps/ftpiiu/ftpiiu.elf
y=wiiu/apps/hidtovpad/hidtovpad.elf
down=wiiu/apps/nnupatcher/nnupatcher.elf

Yes you can, but you will not be able to use the shortcut from sysnand. Its fine if you want to create an additional shortcut.

You can do that but if ever there is an update, your wii U will download it without asking..

New update 1.1.1 check changelog ^^
And if @FIX94 can remove version number from title or update it, it's nice

 

[memomo]

Thanks a lot . .very easy to use

 

[Spearel18]

It's been a quite some time since the last time I've been reading about wii u related stuff..

Can you please direct me to the required FW.img that you mentioned the OP... please

Sharing fw.img is illegal, so your best bets are:

-Follow this guide to compile it for yourself:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/building-iosuhax-on-windows.447023/

-or if you're lazy you can get a precompiled fw.img with sig.patches and wupserver from "that iso site".

 

[sleeperdk]

Ahh yeah i total forget about the elf file XD
So is it just me that installed the game to usb and used this with the usb ?

 

[javiliyors]

hi, can i put my config like this?

a=isouhax/fw.img
b=rednand/fw.img
