Everything seems to be in the right place, Idk what's missing =[

 

[wicksand420]

go inside the homebrew_launcher folder and take a screen

Yeah if you have the .rpx of homebrew launcher that could be the problem I know it was for me once, I had to use the older .elf. IIRC I got the same -5 upon boot.

Remove the .rpx and retry.

Well, Even without the .rpx file I still get the -5 error =[

Remove the .rpx and retry.

Still -5 =/

Your only option that I can think of is get a Pro controller and use it with usb attached, I think that would work but I'm not 100% sure it would let you navigate with it in the Homebrew Launcher menu. Other than that I think you're fucked. The previous owner really did a solid job of screwing up his Wii U, and I think he sold you a gamepad that was never synced to the console because it makes no sense for it not to be synced.

Yeah true lmao, You think if I get a pro controller with USB cable will work? never thought about it, might help

Someone who owns one who has CBHC would have to answer, I've never owned one personally so I can't say for sure.

 

[wicksand420]

I can't test, the pro controller I had was a knockoff, and is now thoroughly dead.

This is definitely cbhc, do you think they told it to autoboot loadiine, it would be stupid, but maybe.

You could try to put every homebrew you can find into the wiiu/apps folder, this may work

@FIX94 do you know a way to help this guy?

I am unaware of a way to Autoboot Loadiine not saying it's not possible but I am unaware of a way. From the options I see that are there maybe it's set to Mocha CFW and he doesn't have it on his card? or maybe vWii Homebrew Channel?

Someone made a cbhc mod that made it so you could autoboot just about any homebrew

 

[EmulateLife]

Oh cool I'd like to use that for Hid to Vpad. Know where I can find it?

Oh so it's just added options but you can't add any homebrew I guess. Oh well.

 

[wicksand420]

Maybe looking at this might help us help this guy, if in fact this is the version of cbhc installed.

I think there is a way to add you own stuff to it, but I think you have to compile it.

I thought you had pro controller thats why I said plug it in the usb port (you have any used game stores near you buy a used one and return it after)

 

[EmulateLife]

Even if we figure out which homebrew it's set to launch I don't think he can sync his gamepad in any homebrew app, I could be wrong.

 

[wicksand420]

Isn't there a way to get into the cbhc menu by pressing a button on the console?
