Hacking Starting over again on a Wiiu?

[pbcsd]

mocha is supposed to do that. it returns you to the home screen after loading. you did get the mocha splash screen, correct? after you're back on the home screen, go into system settings.

No, screen goes black for a second, then it just takes me back to the same Homebrew launcher screen.

 

[godreborn]

do you have a mocha config file? try mine:

 

[pbcsd]

Yes....

viewMode=0
directLaunch=1
launchImage=0
noIosReload=1
launchSysMenu=0
redNAND=0
seeprom_red=0
otp_red=0
syshaxXml=0

 

[godreborn]

use mine.

I think the launchSysMenu=0 is your problem.

Thx...good, I'm on 5.5.3.

Why are we using Mocha here? If your already using cbhc, you already are in cfw. Booting Mocha here is pointless??

Just wanted to check what firmware my Wii U was on.

yes, it's how you can check firmware instead of having all 9s.

Ah of course..... My bad, as you were

 

[godreborn]

Thx...good, I'm on 5.5.3.

if you live in Canada, you're on the latest. I think only Europe has 5.5.4.

Thanks, got it all to work...and after all that effort, didn't realize just how retro the retroarch games were!

 

[pbcsd]

BTW, I seem to recall downloading a game to mod this, but not I can't remember if that was for this unit or my Wii. Is there a way to check for the original exploit?

 

[godreborn]

the easiest way to check is to jot down the title id listed on the autobooting screen. I can't recall if it starts with 00050000 (the prefix for games), but type in 00050000-xxxxxxxx (where x is the title id listed on that screen). I don't think it says 00050000, but you want that when you google the full title id. alternatively, you can look for the title id on the cbhc webpage. part of the code says what each title id stands for (i.e. the game). https://github.com/FIX94/haxchi/blob/master/installer/src/gameList.h#L14-L102

edit: doesn't seem you need 00050000 for the cbhc link, so you might start with that.

 

[pbcsd]

Thx, so Brainage. The account I modded it with needs to continue on the device right? It's my kids main account so wanted to change it if I could.

 

[godreborn]

yes, don't format, move, or delete it or you'll brick.

 

[godreborn]

I don't think you can move or delete the game anymore, since it's supposed to have those safeguards, but I wouldn't try it anyway. formatting or another one is deleting the account that bought the game. basically, anything that could interfere with the game opening at boot.
