He uses CBHC and his gamepad stopped working 3 years ago. He injected code into Minecraft, in order to be able to craft infinitely in survival, without having sufficient resources. He assumes because his gamepad lost the connection, and the code was injected into ram, it might have broken the gamepad driver or firmware. He can't properly run homebrew utilities, as they require a gamepad. At least the with he version of the tools and CBHC he has.
We're not living close to each other, and don't know each other for long, but he said he tried everything. He has three Wii U consoles, but the on with the issue is his first one with a lot of childhood memories on it. He tries everything he can, even re-pairing any gamepad. The driver or firmware for the gamepad seems to be broken. Now he wants to try a hardmod, because he can't fix any broken files without a gamepad, since his homebrew needs one.
I don't know how everything with CBHC works, but he doesn't even have a working pro controller. Not sure whether he can do anything there. I don't think he doesn't know what he is doing. He was trying for a very long time.
This is an important question, so reply to that, please. If he has 3 consoles and tried everything, what was the result of:
And that's dangerous. Esp. when he does it since 3 years he'll do mistakes sonner or later. So tell him to calm down, then ask the questions we need to get replies to, then tell him to stay calm until we find a way to debug this.
3 consoles but no pro controller? No Wii motes? Are two of the 3 consoles just the bare consoles? So does he even own more than one gamepad? Please ask him that, too. At best let him write a list of everything Wii U specific he owns.
He has Wiimotes, but his homebrew on the partially broken console is really old, and only works with the gamepad, he said. He can't sync the gamepad with the console, without the entire console crashing down.
Yeah. He's gonna do that. I'll try to help him. He could also use the FTPiiU Aroma plugin, which runs in the background and optionally allows system file access.
DNS injection maybe, so you change the DNS server on your router (or better change the router to use another DNS, then setup one on your PC). Then this new DNS server you configure to point that URL to your own server (self hosted on your PC).
Someone on the Nintendo Homebrew Discord Server told us, instead of looking for overcomplicated workarounds with the network, we should just use Bluubomb. Would that work. Is it okay to use as a temporary solution, installing the Payload loader afterwards? Could it be a good method, which just got replaced by the way easier JSTypeHax? He told me it should be able to run Tiramisu and Aroma, just like the browser exploit.
The gamepad isn't broken. It's rather the gamepad firmware on the console. Any gamepad he tries to pair, results in an error message telling to reboot the console or an immediate crash. We have found out there is a method of running a normally working homebrew without the gamepad and fixing the broken drivers from there. He wants to try reinstalling the DRC firmware with NUSspli, but the browser exploit doesn't work. loading.ovh doesn't exist anymore and that is the only bookmark he has. He can't type in any other website for the exploit.
Sorry to say but that won't work. NUSspli depends on Tiramisu/Aroma APIs not available through homebrew mode via browser exploit. WUP Installer refuses to install system titles.
