It makes no sense to have HaxChi launch Mocha. HaxChi has it's own CFW. Just change the setting to default=sysmenu in HaxChi config and reinstall HaxChi. Now when you tap HaxChi you're in CFW. If you have HaxChi you don't need Mocha
Oh well I'm dumb, I'll fix that later today than thanks. Do I have to delete the Haxchi install and redowload Brain Age to install Haxchi with the new config or can I just rerun the haxchi installer?

Just reinstall over the top. No need to uninstall anything. Make sure you move HBL to "b=" in your config so you still have a way to get to HBL after you change default to sysmenu

Try this, thats what worked for me.

Download and install this: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.4/python-3.5.4-amd64-webinstall.exe

download this zip: https://github.com/JumpCallPop/WiiUTest/archive/b558dffdf0fa6dbb5989e26132573b9677785602.zip


unzip it somewhere.
Now, open a command prompt (search for cmd on the start menu)
type ipconfig to obtain your pc ip address
also in the cmd, navigate to where you unziped that archive
once you are in the right folder, type this into the same cmd: "py -m http.server 8080" (without the quotes)
Allow it to pass the firewall when prompted
Now, on your wii u browser, type http://<YOUR.PC's.IPADDRESS>:8080
Replace <YOUR.PC's.IPADDRESS> with your actual ip address and it should load


above was the quickest and easiest way i found to set up self hosting.

also a note on hakchi, in some youtube videos, after you run the hakchi exploit from homebrew it appears to change the vc you downloaded to a hakchi icon, mine did NOT do this, it still shows brain age as the vc. however when i click on brain age it launches homebrew. i am unsure why thats happening. again there is nothing wrong with anything, its only how it looks thats different

idk know what was wrong with my setup, i tried everything but nothing seemed to work, but gordreborn told me to use xampp and for some reason it worked. if anyone's having trouble try putting the exploit files and mongoose into a file inside of xampp named hdocs then load mongoose from there, that's how it worked for me.
Thanks to all the people on this board

glad u got it working. your issue with mongoose may have been the listening port. u can change it in the configuration.

do you have .tga files like bootDrcTex.tga bootTvTex.tga and iconTex.tga in your haxchi folder when running the install?
EDIT: To be clear I meant the haxchi folder on your sd cards root.

I wrote a really simple server in Python to help with self hosting if anyone is interested. It should work on Windows, Mac and Linux with Python 2 and Python 3. It will show you your IP address and port that it's hosting on as well. I thought it might help some people with self hosting the exploit. Download here https://github.com/dojafoja/simple-python-server and extract it into the folder you want to host. Then run server.py. I know it's a simple thing but some users don't know how to self host or find their IP address. This does both, on any OS, with both major Python versions.

It does this for me, and in the CMD, it says bad request syntax and code 400, message Bad Request version and a bunch of other lines. I am running python 2.7.11

I am trying to get this to work. I have successfully gotten the exploit to work, but when it tries to load the homebrew launcher, it just hangs on the bubbles and music loading screen. Anyone know why?

Also, @KockaAlex is right. You need to open the curtains for it to work.

You don't have homebrew apps on sd card

that's most likely what happened. replaceable files need to go in the haxchi folder. that includes icons, screen images, the config.txt, and btsnd (boot sound) files.

would these alter the icon post install? or is it something that has to happen at the time of install? could i add them to the sd now, or is it something i would have to reconfig or reinstall haxchi to get? again it all works just didnt look the same (icon)

place the files in the haxchi folder and run the installer again. it will make the changes for u.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • 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.

  • 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
  • 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)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
