Tutorial Setup Custom Firmware w/ SigPatches

[lonelyhero]

Hrm, did you extract the contents directly into "install", or did you create another folder inside of "install" with the contents?

its inside a folder inside the install folder the same setup i use when i install games

Try putting it directly inside the install folder.

I installed DLC on rednand only and it don't work, do I need to install it to sysNand as well?

Edit: Had to install the DLC to USB, which made it work.

Ok, so there's so much new information on Wii U scene since the last time I visited it, I already have installed some games through WUP Installer but on SysNAND, so I'm a little confused but for what I understand, I should use SysNAND with sigpatches (since I use a hacked vWii).
So is this the right place to begin with, or I'm a little lost?

Can you install games to the SD card?

Can you install games to the SD card?

Yes, but you don't need this to do so. If you have a USB drive that's the way to go. You should start here:

I know, I use Loadiine, but I'd like to be able to use online, which I believe this can do? I have a 64GB SD for my Wii U so if I can install the games to the SD whilst using RedNAND it'd be nice.

Sorry, I thought you were totally uninitiated. As far as I know you wouldn't be able to go online using loadiine with sigpatch CFW (redNAND or sysNAND) as the Wii U will still think that you are playing Mii Maker. Maybe if you launched loadiine via the homebrew launcher channel (as opposed to .elf, aka the web exploit version). I'm not sure. This is above my pay grade.

I launch it via the HBL anyway, and it's MiiMaker.
What I mean is, can I install games to the CFW NAND once it's installed, not run them via Loadiine? I just figure there'll be a problem with the Wii U's whole formatting thing.

Oh, I think I'm picking up what you're putting down. You're not insisting that you use Loadiine to play games. You're just looking for a way to play backups online. I would recommend not using redNAND. It's not dangerous or anything but it takes up 32 GB of your SD card and is kind of a pain to manage. It's next to useless if you're just trying to install titles anyways. You won't brick doing that. Just don't install System Config Tool to anything but redNAND and you'll be fine. I'd still recommend the guide as you will find answers to all these questions and can get help from people who know a lot about Wii U homebrew.

Aight, thanks

If you get a Not Found error Exit 2 while building ios_fs on Windows try to move the folder somewhere else, get rid of empty spaces on your path.

what happends if i turn off my wii u while is dumping?

what happends if i turn off my wii u while is dumping?

redNAND on the SD card would end up being unusable. Nothing should happen to the actual system though.

 

[YoshiCrystal]

it worked but i cant get a copy of the nand

 

[GATWYAY3.2]

so the FW.img i ceated with hax isn't working with cfw booter on wiiu Homebrew instead it brings me back to the main menu but when i grab someone elses fw,img file from a different tutorial cw booter worked. whats going on here?

nvm hax created 2 fw files i was using the wrong one

 

[GATWYAY3.2]

great tutorial but i would change one thing . provide them with the WupInstaller y Mod - with mulitple install folders this way system tools would be in it's own folder instead taking the whole file. works will if they plan on using the install folder again

 

[GATWYAY3.2]

when Dumping redNAND and backing it up how is supposed to be used to save/restore my wiiu ?

 

[GATWYAY3.2]

Anyone know how I can use someone else save file like 100% mario kart ?
I know how to do it on loadiine but not on redNand

 

[YoshiCrystal]

lol i broke my rednand.How i can get my 64 gb again?
