Basically, I need help making Super Paper Mario to work correctly on my Wii U.
Here are the details:
-Got a .wbfs file of Super Paper Mario [USA] (Wii).
-Built it using TeconMoon's WiiVC injector with default settings (providing icons and the required title keys)
-After some waiting, I successfully got my files for use with WUPInstaller. The folder that contains them is around 400 MB of size.
-Move the folder to the Wii U's SD card /install/ directory.
-Run Mocha CFW on my Wii U, which works flawlessly.
-Run WUPInstaller GX2 and "Install to Nand" the game. It completes without a problem.
-Back to the Wii U's Home menu, I run the new SPM icon that appeared. The game boots fine.
-I got to the file creation menu, then I tried two things:
Then, I searched for another .wbfs file of the same game and tried everything just as stated above. Same results.
------------
After that, I tried running both .wbfs files on Dolphin Emulator (on Windows). They work just fine.
------------
Finally, I searched the internet some more and found a method that involved activating "Don't trim game output (Wii retail only)" in TeconMoon's WiiVC injector. I tried doing that and building the file again:
-Now the process was longer, and the output folder size is about 4 GB in size.
-I make all the process of installing it into the Wii U just like before - no problems so far.
-Now I try to open the game:
Other things to note:
-I'm using the Web browser exploit to run the Homebrew Launcher.
-I'm using Mocha CFW and I make sure to run it every power cycle of the Wii U if I'm going to install the game or run it.
-My Wii U is EUR, while both game files are USA.
-The card I used on the try with the ~400 MB game size is a 2 GB SD card.
-The one I used on the ~4 GB game size is a 8 GB microSD card with an adapter.
-Both cards were formatted with guiformat on Windows 10 with the cluster size (I believe it's called like that) set to 32 K. Both cards are formatted as FAT32.
*And yes, I searched my problem on the Internet, and just found two possible solutions, which were "Trying a different game file" or "Activating [Don't trim game output] in the WiiVC injector" (I tried both, but didn't work).
I believe I haven't forgot to mention anything - if you need any other details or screenshots just ask me. Let's hope someone clarifies this for me once for all, or at least tell me what's causing this problem.

-I got to the file creation menu, then I tried two things:
*Create a save file -> Save file is created successfully, but Wii U crashes upon loading it. The screen is black and a humming noise can be listened.
*Continue without creating a save file -> Wii U crashes just like before.
--At this point, I can only: a. turn off the Wii Remote - b. turn off the Wii U gamepad - c. force shutdown the Wii U by unplugging it (holding the power button for some seconds won't work).

*The Wii U freezes a second or two after showing the splash screen. That screen is frozen on the TV and the gamepad, and a humming noise can be heard.
--At this point, I can hard reset the Wii U holding its power button for about 4 seconds.
