[RELEASE] Haxchi PC Installer (for 5.5.2 with SEEPROM backup)

image.jpeg

This tool is for v5.5.1-v5.5.2 only (because of the HBL loader). OTP and SEEPROM are required, so it is only for previously hacked consoles with backup of those files. (If you installed redNAND before you should be able to dump those files from your SD)
(If you don't have OTP you can take the OTP from someone else because the USB key is the same).

This tool is very experimental, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This tool is based on WFS File Injector.
Credit for @FIX94 for the Haxchi and for @dimok WFS Block Injector for the inspiration.

Instructions: (READ FIRST)

Preparing the USB
  1. It is recommended to use a clean USB and format it for this process. The installer is expermintal and may corrupt the file system.
  2. Buy and install one of the supported DS VC games, and move it to the usb.
Installing
Choose one of the following methods:

Method 1: Direct install to the USB (faster but more risky)
  1. Connect the USB to your PC, and find out the drive index:
    Open PowerShell (WinKey + R, enter powershell)
    Run the command
    Code: 
    Get-WmiObject Win32_DiskDrive
    Find the DeviceID for your USB (Example: \.\PHYSICALDRIVE3)
  2. Open command line with admin privileges (Start Menu -> Search for "Command Prompt" -> Right click wnd "Run as Administrator")
  3. Go to the directory with the tool:
    Code: 
    cd <where you extracted the files from the zip>
  4. Run the installer: (Don't forget to replace \.\PHYSICALDRIVE3 with the correct device)
    Code: 
    haxchi-pc-installer --image \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE3 --otp otp.bin --seeprom seeprom.bin
    And follow the instructions.
Method 2: Install on an image (safer)
  1. Dump an image of the USB device with tool like Win32DiskImager.
  2. It is recommended to backup the image.
  3. Open ccommand line (WinKey + R, enter cmd)
  4. Go to the directory with the tool:
    cd <where you extracted the files from the zip>
  5. Run the installer:
    Code: 
    haxchi-pc-installer --image <dumped image file> --otp otp.bin --seeprom seeprom.bin
    And follow the instructions.
  6. Flash the image back to the USB.
Finishing
Now just connect the USB back to the Wii U. If you run the game HBL should be opened instead.
Now with HBL access it is recommended to move the game back to the NAND and reinstall haxchi again with the regular Wii U installer.

I'm pretty sure that this is an haxchi error...the exploit injection is fine...

Actually, it seems to either be trying to launch a payload that isn't there, or his SD isn't even in the Wii U.

Was your SD card in your Wii U? If not put it in. Haxchi also could be looking for an app that doesn't exist, like fw.img, or the Homebrew Launcher.

He means of course that haxchi-pc-installer.exe is not there (you can do it with wfs-file-injector.exe but the other one does it automatically)

Anyway @GrandZeldaGamer I uploaded a new version.

i found the command to make it work on my own with a bit of help from someone on another thread and it works

@GrandZeldaGamer can you share the command, thx
Click to expand...
@yoppie what VC game are u using and what is your consoles region this info is needed
here's the command for European brain age and some info as well
READ THE INFO FIRST!
wfsdump --image usb.img --inject-file rom.zip --inject-path /usr/title/00050000/10179c00/content/0010/rom.zip --otp otp.bin --seeprom seeprom.bin

You actually need Haxchi rom.zip file, and also inject-path must be changed to fit your actual game and region.

  • 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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjCivnt5t50
  • 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)

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
