Hacking wiiu.guide is a thing now

[Plailect]

Not that much then, i don't install much and always triple check even before installation, always have my tubehax local enabled, never had problem of stability of some sorts.
Tbh i don't launch fw.img that much, most of the time it's just to install "legit" games that work without cfw, i do hear you, updating is great, but i don't really "need it" everything works fine and do what i need it to do.

Then your setup will work for you, but the majority of users will not be so careful.

It's not confirmed that redNAND is update proof though, it is just assumed.

Yes, it is...

RedNAND redirects all NAND r/w functions except for sleep mode which uses your SysNAND internet settings, which is why we disable internet and set DNS servers on SysNAND.

I hear ya dude. Like I said many times on here - each to their own. My own preference is haxchi 'cos I don't use DLC. Got some eshop but if I want to play them (they are in my red folder, lol) then I just click haxchi, wait for ~10 secs (default to sysmenu) and away I go

when in cbhc/haxchi cfw, patch system menu version to be 99.99.99 to protect from potential updates
when in cbhc/haxchi cfw it will now protect against installing over the used ds vc title
updated installer iosu exploit to be a bit more stable and added tiny debug patch
added new config option to haxchi, "sysmenu" which will relaunch you into the system menu with signature, region patches and everything else that cbhc patches
small logic correction in the iosu patcher

The version patch to 99.99.99 is in memory and only works while the system is booted normally. This will not save you if the Wii U updates automatically in sleep mode and your SysNAND is not setup either have no internet or with the DNS servers!

Well I have internet and I don't have the DNS servers...I use squid proxy on my pi and filter everything myself

Haxchi is an exploit that launches a CFW. It is not a competitor to Mocha, it is a launcher for it that makes it so you don't need a browser to launch CFW.

What he's trying to say is that cbhcs default sysmenu cfw is recommended (I don't agree.)

Ah, I misunderstood what he was saying. The point still stands.

I have yet to see proof of redNAND being completely update safe, I'm skeptical since in the past people said updating redNAND would brick it and sysNAND.

If you're skeptical go ask ryanrocks to downgrade a redNAND and update it .

People saying things on temp who are not devs are not valid sources of information. Actual accomplished devs wrote the RedNAND functions (think smea, yls8, etc).

 

[digipimp75]

The most important piece of the guide right here: "Your Haxchi DS virtual console game MUST be a LEGITIMATE copy!"

Most CBHC bricks I've seen were from noobs installing a pirated DS VC title.

 

[Kafluke]

It's not confirmed that redNAND is update proof though, it is just assumed.

It's a pretty good assumption though. I've used redNAND. Both with mocha and before. It does have stability issues as many have reported and you can't use vWii. Also when it fails you lose everything on your emulated sysnand unless you constantly back it up to your PC.

Look, it's a solution. I really don't think it's for people getting started though and until a real update comes out we only have assumptions as to its safety. Just like all other CFW'S.

 

[Ryccardo]

when in cbhc/haxchi cfw, patch system menu version to be 99.99.99 to protect from potential updates

Update version checks don't work that way, each title has its own version, even the title which supplies the version string has an unrelated version itself (it's only "useful" as proof you're running the minicfw, indeed I'm sticking to the last version of CBHC without this gimmick until I'll be bored enough to compile the last one without the version string - I prefer my custom 9.2.0E string lol)

I'm skeptical since in the past people said updating redNAND would brick it and sysNAND.

It's true for "rednand only", due to the antidowngrade prevention which (simplifying) stores the version number of the kernel or something in eeprom, and doesn't boot if this number is higher than the actual code's version
Mocha's rednand with eeprom (and maybe otp) emulation also enabled is believed to be updateable, though for obvious reasons it's never been practically tested

Now i can't wait for "Installed CBHC in sysNAND, redNAND corrupted my NAND"
*sigh* I guess everything i wanted to say has been said here by @Kafluke.

 

[nikeymikey]

There's a lot of valid points here from both sides of the coin. I myself will stick to CBHC as it does all I/my kids need. It boots up into cfw and all our games work wether 100% legit or not. No extra steps needed.

I did try rednand for a while but after it had corrupted twice in a week I gave up with it, to much fucking about just to have something that fails randomly for no apparent reason.
Think SNEEK/UNEEK, It took a long time before that was actually stable enough to be used properly and as for the 3ds emunand, wasn't it Gateway that created that first, not homebrew revs??? They had to make sure it worked because they were selling it as a function of their flash card!!

I just think for most users who just want to pirate games and are not going to install anything other than maybe a HBL and WUP Installer channel so they can install non legit dlc etc, that CBHC is more than enough and the extra hassle, steps needed to create and use REDnand is pointless. We all know how difficult it is for a lot of tempers to follow instructions so why make it any more complicated than it needs to be?

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Well i guess if it was him, make sense.

I didn't use that guide, i found one on github. hub.com/FlimFlam69/WiiUTutorial/wiki
It worked for me although all i did was have a NDS game for haxchi, and install it for autoboot mocha cfw by default with no CBHC REDNAND business. I prefer the least brickway possible, until a more definite solution like true CFW is done, on 3DS or psp

Mocha is pointless if you have Haxchi and aren't using redNAND. Just use Haxchi's built in CFW.
It boots faster too.

And don't forget that the first non-Gateway attempt to create an emuNAND (smealum's redNAND) resulted in a brick because he didn't code it right

Then your setup will work for you, but the majority of users will not be so careful.

Has it actually been confirmed that redNAND can be updated without affecting sysNAND though? I've seen no such reports.
While on paper it might look like it'll work it's not confirmed until it's actually been tested.

It supports it, if you read you would have seen you needed a cetrain version https://github.com/FIX94/ftpiiu/releases/tag/v0.4u2-cbhc

I did read, there is 2 on the app store i downloaded it from, one was for coldboot, and i don't have that, so i used the other. No where on this page where it says is for haxchi. https://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/fpiiu-cbhc

Haxchi's CFW is the exact same thing as CBHC's cfw....

 

[Redirr]

More i read. More i get lost.
So much information.

Long time i don't use my wii u. I was think setup this CHBC. CFWS etc. But i give up. Just will play my Zelda for now. Too much for some pirate games rsrsrs
