Hacking What's the difference between haxchi/cbhc + mocha cfw and rednand?

[HappyzLife]

I have haxchi installed in my wii u and i boot it every time i launch the wii (i'm scared about cbhc bricks so i just use haxchi), but what's the difference between my config and having a rednand in a sd card? Should i get a 64gb sd and install rednand or it doesnt change anything?

One has rednand, the other doesn't. No real difference other then that.

Rednand can be unbriced without hardmod and can be updated without losing hacks (assuming big N releases one).
Both getting brick and a new update is unlikely tbh. No real reason to to a get 64 gb just yet unless you already have one.

Uhm thank you, but i think i'll need to get one cause the one i'm using now has not enough space to install backup games that occupy more than 2gb :/ (that's another question, can i install games without download them in the sd maybe just like the 3ds ticket files?

No.

There are only two real benefits of redNAND:

• Brick-protection by confining all changes you make to the redNAND on your SD card, but 99.9% of people won't be doing anything risky anyway.
• You can update redNAND without updating your sysNAND, but 5.5.1 is the latest version, and I don't think Nintendo will likely push another update before the release of the Switch anyway.

In summary, there's no real reason I can think of to use redNAND. Mocha or Haxchi on sysNAND will suffice for 99.9% of users.

As of right now, no. That might be possible someday.

At max you will only need 32 gb sd card considering the biggest wii u game is 20ish gb. (32 with dlc and updates)

Which, in desperate times, can be installed separately.

But what if they release an update? I'll take a 64gb, they're cheap

I doubt big N gives a damn about the wii u. All they have been attacking is fan projects and 3ds hacking.

If Nintendo releases an update, then yes, you are going to want a large enough SD card for redNAND. Until then, there's no real need for redNAND, and as I said earlier, I don't think Nintendo is going to release another Wii U update.

Yes but 32gb sd = 11~15 euro, 64gb sd 21~26 euro, they're close so i'll just take a 64gb, just to be sure

If you don't already have a good SD card, then you might as well invest in a 64GB one. What size SD card are you currently using?

8gb for 3ds and i have some other sds (2/4gb) somewhere in my house

Then to install some games, you are going to need a bigger SD card. Might as well get the 64GB now, just in case.
