Hi, everyone! I was trying to install games I got with Wii U USB Helper on WUP Installer GX2 (using Aroma), and got the error 0xfffcffe9 upon trying to install any games to the SD card. I'm using a 512 GB SD card formatted as FAT32 using guiformat. The SD card worked fine for installing Aroma, installing other homebrew apps, and modding the vWii, as well as installing WBFS games to it.

So far, I've tried:

Backing up the files and then formatting the SD card with the Wii U, didn't work because Windows wouldn't let me use it unless I formatted it when I went to put the files back.

Using a USB to SD adapter instead of using the SD card slot, didn't work because it couldn't access any of the files and booted into stock firmware.

I'm pulling my hair out trying to fix this, so if anyone has potential solutions, please let me know :)


UPDATE: I FIXED IT 🗣️🗣️❗❗

You have to have a USB storage device (flash drive/USB stick, an SD card attached with a USB to SD adapter, a SSD or HDD attached with USB, etc.) plugged into the Wii U (formatted with the Wii U as well, it will prompt you to do this if you haven't already upon booting the Wii U with the USB storage device plugged in) when you go to install your games with WUP Installer GX2. The USB storage device doesn't have to have anything on it, as long as it's formatted correctly and the SD card is still there. Just make sure you have enough room :D

    price looks too right

    $250 for 10GB vram
  • UltraHurricane @ UltraHurricane:
    ehhhhhh... they're ok i guess
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    otherwise I wanted the 2070 or so with 12gb
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    basically whatever is closer to $200 and at least 8gb or better with stupid-fuck DLSS support since games now DEMAND it or won't run
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    like new Indy Jones
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    i turn all that shit off anyway, but when it refuses to launch....
  • UltraHurricane @ UltraHurricane:
    sadly, i don't think you can find anything good for $200, unless you're REALLY lucky on ebay or fb marketplace
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    well, like 2070
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    but realistically $250
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    hence when I saw those Arc cards, they peaked my interest

  • UltraHurricane @ UltraHurricane:
    id' say it's pretty ok since you do plan to play new games on lower settings
  • UltraHurricane @ UltraHurricane:
    i just went with an RTX 4070 SUPER myself cause it was the best value > performance ratio
    and it was more power efficient then my last gpu

  • UltraHurricane @ UltraHurricane:
    and i think i made the right call cause
    i genuinely think that after that it's just diminishing returns, even with the new RTX 5000 series

    @UltraHurricane, See, I just need something for the next 2-3 years to pull solid 1080p for gaming, and by then 30 and 40 series will drop in price for a REAL upgrade
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    My buddy called me just to talk about his vasectomy lol
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    alt, being a desktop, i can always shove the "upgrade" in tandem too or something when that time comes
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    @K3Nv3,
    sounds vascenating
  • UltraHurricane @ UltraHurricane:
    @Skv0ra oh yeah, if you're ONLY running games at 1080p then it should definitely be enough
