Hardware Wii U error -5 at boot

[Romain80200]

simple question:
What's the name of your sdcard?
Because you can't name it wiiu.

Why not?

Why not?

It causes problems for whatever reason, just name it anything but wii or wiiu. I named mine "HAXX".

 

[Romain80200]

it's on the 2nd page of the guide:
"Your SD card cannot be named wiiu, or it will cause problems."

It's strange though... It's as if the Wii U has some special code that triggers when it detects a SD card called that. Maybe it's for some sort of recovery/debug/dev mode that Nintendo uses internally.

I don't know, just following the guide...

doubtful. the minus errors I think all relate to haxchi and the sd card.

What did u do to result in this error? Did u format the console with the Haxchi CBHC installed?

a cbhc brick shouldn't result in a minus error.

btw, I named mine Wii U, and everything works 100%. it's been like that for years.

@Michael199740 pic is about an 160-0103 error,not an minus error(it's an wrong thread to deal with it,but his error isn't an minus error)

Edit: btw,SD card name "Wii U" is different than "wiiu",so,you shouldn't have any errors,since the guide is talking specifically about the name "wiiu" and "cbhc"

Can you send me a link of the guide?

send me one too lol having the same issue i think? mine says error 5 not -5 tho and i cant find anything on reg 5 also i downloaded moonlight off the home brew store

 

[SDIO]

Just download the CBHC release files from GitHub and putting them on the SD should be enough. Then you should also be able to launch the CBHC installer to uninstall CBHC. Once CBHC is uninstalled you can upgrade to aroma.
