Currently, homebrewing the Wii U does not expose you to a risk of being banned by Nintendo unless you cheat in online games, or do eShop fraud. You should, however, always be careful with launching downloaded homebrew, especially if you don't trust the source, as homebrew can potentially damage your system!
### What is Haxchi, and do I need it?
### What are exploits?
Haxchi is a secondary entry point which uses certain DS Virtual Console titles to allow for access to homebrew while being completely offline (still works with online but no connection required to launch CFW)
Exploits are entry points which allow further homebrew to be run. In the main guide, you will use exploits such as the browser exploit (http://wiiuexploit.xyz) and PayloadLoader (Health & Safety exploit). All current exploits load `SD:/wiiu/payload.elf` which takes over further loading of homebrew.
Haxchi is **not** required, however, if you want to use homebrew on your Wii U without the internet browser you will need it. It's recommended as it's more convenient to get into CFW than using the Browser Exploit and Mocha CFW.
### What are payloads?
The cheapest DS Virtual Console games usable for this exploit:
- Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training [PAL]
- Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! [USA]
- Kawashima: Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training [JPN]
Payloads, which are normally found with the filename `payload.elf`, exist to make it easier to have different exploits load the same next stage, which allows easier updateability. It doesn't matter what exploit loads the payload, the result is always the same. Multiple payloads can be switched between using the PayloadLoaderPayload. The payload used in the main guide is CustomRPXLoader which loads `SD:/wiiu/payload.rpx` and the `payload.rpx` used in the guide is EnvironmentLoader, which allows you to load different environments.
### What are environments?
An environment is a collection of "setup modules", which will be run in a certain order when launching the environment. One such environment is Tiramisu. Setup modules are small pieces of homebrew/code that are executed once to set up an environment.
### Can I install games from my USB instead of SD?

# Uninstall PayloadLoader
---
This page will guide through the process of uninstalling the PayloadLoader from your Wii U.

1. Navigate to the `installer` environment and launch it by pressing A.
1. Press A to select `Check`.
1. Select `Boot options`.
1. You will be asked if you want to switch the boot title. Press A to select `Switch back to Wii U Menu`.
1. When the process finished, press A to shutdown the console.
1. The console will now boot again into the Wii U Menu. The PayloadLoader can still be launched by launching the Health & Safety Application.
### Uninstall PayloadLoader
1. Launch the Health & Safety Application while holding X on the Gamepad
1. Navigate to the `installer` environment and launch it by pressing A.
1. Select `Remove`.
1. You will be asked if you really want to remove the PayloadLoader. Select `Remove` again.

## Browser Exploit {docsify-ignore}
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.

## Choose Your DS VC Game
The first thing to decide is what DS Virtual Console (usually abbreviated as "VC") game you will buy.
Please note that the game you injected Haxchi/CBHC into will not be playable anymore until you uninstall Haxchi/CBHC and reinstall the game from the eShop.
### Compatible DS VC Games
?> If you have a European region console, there is a chance that you might already have got <code>Dr. Kawashima's <wbr>Brain <wbr>Training: <wbr>How <wbr>Old <wbr>is <wbr>Your <wbr>Brain?</code> for free. Head over [to the eShop](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8563/~/how-to-view-previously-downloaded-titles-on-wii-u) and check if you got the game.
If you do not own any of the games listed below, we recommend buying Brain Age (North America) or Brain Training (Europe) as it currently is in the cheapest price bracket of compatible games and is the game we least expect you to want to play.

## Installing the Homebrew Launcher Channel {docsify-ignore}
This page will install the Homebrew Launcher Channel as an application directly to your Home Menu for easy access.
?> This page is only for Haxchi and CBHC users. The Homebrew Launcher Channel (the version of the Homebrew Channel you launch from the Wii U Menu) will **not** work with Mocha CFW!
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
1. Power on your console.
1. Press the Home button during the `Autobooting...` screen to get into the boot menu.
1. Select `Boot Homebrew Launcher` to launch the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and launch the WUP Installer GX2 application.
1. Use the touchscreen to select `Homebrew Launcher Channel`. Press `Install` and confirm with `Yes`.
1. Select NAND as the installation destination. This will install the Homebrew Launcher Channel to the Wii U Menu.
1. Once the process is finished, press the Home button until you're back at the Wii U Menu.
1. You will now see the Homebrew Launcher Channel installed on your Wii U Menu.

## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U. Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC: <br>- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop! <br>- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed! <br>- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS Virtual Console game! <br>- Don't re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop! <br>- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC! <br>- Don't uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without [properly uninstalling CBHC first](../uninstall-cbhc)! <br>- Don't move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!
!> Breaking one of the above rules will result in a brick.
> If you are worried about breaking one of these rules while using CBHC, consider setting up Parental Controls for your user! Blocking `Data Management` and setting `Game Rating` to the highest possible rating can help prevent common mistakes users may make when using CBHC. Check [here](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1081/~/how-to-change-parental-controls) for more information on how to change your Parental Controls settings.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. If you haven't already, now download your DS Virtual Console game of choice from the eShop.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Haxchi app.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate the cursor to the game you want to install Haxchi to and press the A button to install it.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu. You will see your game replaced by a Haxchi icon.
1. Run the modified DS game. This will reboot the console and enable CFW.
1. Run the modified DS game again and hold the A button after launching it. This will run the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew launcher and run the CBHC app.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate the cursor to the game you previously installed Haxchi to and press the A button to install CBHC.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. Reboot your console. If CBHC installed correctly, you should see a new boot menu. (CBHC is not compatible with Quick Start. If you are using the Quick Start Menu, please turn it off.)
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate to `Autoboot: Disabled` and press the A button until it says `Autoboot: System Menu`.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate to `Boot System Menu` and press the A button. This will launch the Wii U Menu with CFW enabled.
1. Your console now automatically boots into CFW every reboot.
1. You can now re-attach any USB devices you had attached before starting the guide.

## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore}
In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

## SD Preparation {docsify-ignore}
We will now place the required CFW files and some additional homebrew files on the SD Card.

# Choose The CFW You Want
---
!> **THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THIS PAGE ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED**
**CURRENT METHOD IS AVAILABLE [HERE](../introduction)**
?> Before starting, make sure to update your Wii U console to the latest firmware (5.5.5) if you haven't already.
There are two main custom firmwares: Haxchi/Coldboot Haxchi (usually abbreviated as "CBHC"), as well as Mocha.
Haxchi/CBHC are both injected into a paid DS Virtual Console game. Haxchi will need to be manually started off the Wii U Menu to boot custom firmware, while CBHC will boot custom firmware automatically while the system is booting up. Mocha is accessed through the browser exploit or the Indexiine method, which makes it the only free custom firmware.
The custom firmware you decide to use is ultimately **your** preference. There is no right or wrong custom firmware to go with, so it is recommended that you feel free to pick the one that sounds the best for your needs!
## Haxchi
- Requires a legitimately installed, paid DS Virtual Console game from the eShop.
- Can be used to launch CFW directly from the Wii U Menu.
- Needs to be re-launched from the Wii U Menu every reboot to enable custom firmware.
- Its functionality can be extended by installing Coldboot Haxchi (CBHC) to a Haxchi installation.
### [**Continue with Haxchi**](haxchi/ds-vc-choice) {docsify-ignore}
## CBHC
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U! Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC: <br>- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop! <br>- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed! <br>- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS Virtual Console game! <br>- Don't re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop! <br>- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC! (You will not brick, but it will cause a boot-loop! Hold A when booting to access the Homebrew Launcher and uninstall CBHC.) <br>- Don't uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without [properly uninstalling CBHC first](uninstall-cbhc)! <br>- Don't move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!
!> Breaking one of the above rules **can** result in a brick!
> If you are worried about breaking one of these rules while using CBHC, consider setting up Parental Controls for your user! Blocking `Data Management` and setting `Game Rating` to the highest possible rating can help prevent common mistakes users may make when using CBHC. Check [here](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1081/~/how-to-change-parental-controls) for more information on how to change your Parental Controls settings.
- Requires a legitimately installed paid DS Virtual Console game from the eShop.
- Automatically launches custom firmware on every boot.
### [**Continue with CBHC**](cbhc/ds-vc-choice) {docsify-ignore}
## Mocha
- Does not require any game, and is therefore free.
- Needs to be re-launched through the browser exploit every reboot to enable custom firmware.
- Is not compatible with the Homebrew Launcher Channel.
- May require an Internet connection depending on what entry point you choose.

**CURRENT METHOD IS AVAILABLE [HERE](../../introduction)**
## Browser Exploit {docsify-ignore}
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.

## Choose Your DS VC Game
The first thing to decide is what DS Virtual Console (usually abbreviated as "VC") game you will buy.
Please note that the game you injected Haxchi/CBHC into will not be playable anymore until you uninstall Haxchi/CBHC and reinstall the game from the eShop.
### Compatible DS VC Games
?> If you have a European region console, there is a chance that you might already have got <code>Dr. Kawashima's <wbr>Brain <wbr>Training: <wbr>How <wbr>Old <wbr>is <wbr>Your <wbr>Brain?</code> for free. Head over [to the eShop](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8563/~/how-to-view-previously-downloaded-titles-on-wii-u) and check if you got the game.
If you do not own any of the games listed below, we recommend buying Brain Age (North America) or Brain Training (Europe) as it currently is in the cheapest price bracket of compatible games and is the game we least expect you to want to play.

?> Installing the Homebrew Launcher Channel is optional as you can already launch it by holding the A button while launching Haxchi.
1. Power on your console.
1. Launch the Haxchi DS game from the Wii U Menu. This will re-launch the Wii U Menu with CFW activated.
1. Launch the Haxchi DS game again while holding the A button. This will launch the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and launch the WUP Installer GX2 application.
1. Use the touchscreen to select `Homebrew Launcher Channel`. Press `Install` and confirm with `Yes`.
1. Select NAND as the installation destination. This will install the Homebrew Launcher Channel to the Wii U Menu.
1. Once the process is finished, press the Home button until you're back at the Wii U Menu.

## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
?> If the install fails for some reason, try uninstalling and redownloading the DS VC game from the eShop and make sure it is being installed to the NAND.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. If you haven't already, now download your DS VC game of choice from the eShop.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Haxchi app.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate the cursor to the game you want to install Haxchi to and press the A button to install it.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu. You will see your game replaced by a Haxchi icon.
1. Run the modified DS game. This will reboot the console and enable CFW.
1. You will need to run your Haxchi DS game every reboot to launch CFW.
1. You can now re-attach any USB devices you had attached before starting the guide.

## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore}
In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

# Browser Exploit
---
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
To install the Homebrew Channel, we first need to create a NAND backup and be able to launch the Homebrew Launcher through an exploit, such as the Browser Exploit.
Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.
1. Launch an exploit of your choice:
- If you've never run homebrew before, "launching the exploit" means run the Browser Exploit. To run the Browser Exploit launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`, then click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.
- If you're coldbooting into the PayloadLoader, "launching the exploit" means booting your console.
- If you're launching into the PayloadLoader via the Health & Safety application, "launching the exploit" means launching the Health & Safety Application.
1. While launching the exploit of your choice, hold either the B button (if you're following the `NAND Backup` section) or the X button (if you're following the `Installing the Homebrew Channel` section).

Currently, homebrewing the Wii U does not expose you to a risk of being banned by Nintendo unless you cheat in online games, or do eShop fraud. You should, however, always be careful with launching downloaded homebrew, especially if you don't trust the source, as homebrew can potentially damage your system!
### What is Haxchi, and do I need it?
### What are exploits?
Haxchi is a secondary entry point which uses certain DS Virtual Console titles to allow for access to homebrew while being completely offline (still works with online but no connection required to launch CFW)
Exploits are entry points which allow further homebrew to be run. In the main guide, you will use exploits such as the browser exploit (http://wiiuexploit.xyz) and PayloadLoader (Health & Safety exploit). All current exploits load `SD:/wiiu/payload.elf` which takes over further loading of homebrew.
Haxchi is **not** required, however, if you want to use homebrew on your Wii U without the internet browser you will need it. It's recommended as it's more convenient to get into CFW than using the Browser Exploit and Mocha CFW.
### What are payloads?
The cheapest DS Virtual Console games usable for this exploit:
- Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training [PAL]
- Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! [USA]
- Kawashima: Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training [JPN]
Payloads, which are normally found with the filename `payload.elf`, exist to make it easier to have different exploits load the same next stage, which allows easier updateability. It doesn't matter what exploit loads the payload, the result is always the same. Multiple payloads can be switched between using the PayloadLoaderPayload. The payload used in the main guide is CustomRPXLoader which loads `SD:/wiiu/payload.rpx` and the `payload.rpx` used in the guide is EnvironmentLoader, which allows you to load different environments.
### What are environments?
An environment is a collection of "setup modules", which will be run in a certain order when launching the environment. One such environment is Tiramisu. Setup modules are small pieces of homebrew/code that are executed once to set up an environment.
### Can I install games from my USB instead of SD?

## Choose Your DS VC Game
The first thing to decide is what DS Virtual Console (usually abbreviated as "VC") game you will buy.
Please note that the game you injected Haxchi/CBHC into will not be playable anymore until you uninstall Haxchi/CBHC and reinstall the game from the eShop.
### Compatible DS VC Games
?> If you have a European region console, there is a chance that you might already have got <code>Dr. Kawashima's <wbr>Brain <wbr>Training: <wbr>How <wbr>Old <wbr>is <wbr>Your <wbr>Brain?</code> for free. Head over [to the eShop](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8563/~/how-to-view-previously-downloaded-titles-on-wii-u) and check if you got the game.
If you do not own any of the games listed below, we recommend buying Brain Age (North America) or Brain Training (Europe) as it currently is in the cheapest price bracket of compatible games and is the game we least expect you to want to play.

## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U. Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC: <br>- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop! <br>- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed! <br>- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS Virtual Console game! <br>- Don't re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop! <br>- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC! <br>- Don't uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without [properly uninstalling CBHC first](../uninstall-cbhc)! <br>- Don't move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!
!> Breaking one of the above rules will result in a brick.
> If you are worried about breaking one of these rules while using CBHC, consider setting up Parental Controls for your user! Blocking `Data Management` and setting `Game Rating` to the highest possible rating can help prevent common mistakes users may make when using CBHC. Check [here](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1081/~/how-to-change-parental-controls) for more information on how to change your Parental Controls settings.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. If you haven't already, now download your DS Virtual Console game of choice from the eShop.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Haxchi app.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate the cursor to the game you want to install Haxchi to and press the A button to install it.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu. You will see your game replaced by a Haxchi icon.
1. Run the modified DS game. This will reboot the console and enable CFW.
1. Run the modified DS game again and hold the A button after launching it. This will run the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew launcher and run the CBHC app.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate the cursor to the game you previously installed Haxchi to and press the A button to install CBHC.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. Reboot your console. If CBHC installed correctly, you should see a new boot menu. (CBHC is not compatible with Quick Start. If you are using the Quick Start Menu, please turn it off.)
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate to `Autoboot: Disabled` and press the A button until it says `Autoboot: System Menu`.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate to `Boot System Menu` and press the A button. This will launch the Wii U Menu with CFW enabled.
1. Your console now automatically boots into CFW every reboot.
1. You can now re-attach any USB devices you had attached before starting the guide.

## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore}
In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

# Choose The CFW You Want
---
!> **THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THIS PAGE ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED**
**CURRENT METHOD IS AVAILABLE [HERE](../introduction)**
?> Before starting, make sure to update your Wii U console to the latest firmware (5.5.5) if you haven't already.
There are two main custom firmwares: Haxchi/Coldboot Haxchi (usually abbreviated as "CBHC"), as well as Mocha.
Haxchi/CBHC are both injected into a paid DS Virtual Console game. Haxchi will need to be manually started off the Wii U Menu to boot custom firmware, while CBHC will boot custom firmware automatically while the system is booting up. Mocha is accessed through the browser exploit or the Indexiine method, which makes it the only free custom firmware.
The custom firmware you decide to use is ultimately **your** preference. There is no right or wrong custom firmware to go with, so it is recommended that you feel free to pick the one that sounds the best for your needs!
## Haxchi
- Requires a legitimately installed, paid DS Virtual Console game from the eShop.
- Can be used to launch CFW directly from the Wii U Menu.
- Needs to be re-launched from the Wii U Menu every reboot to enable custom firmware.
- Its functionality can be extended by installing Coldboot Haxchi (CBHC) to a Haxchi installation.
### [**Continue with Haxchi**](haxchi/ds-vc-choice) {docsify-ignore}
## CBHC
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U! Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC: <br>- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop! <br>- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed! <br>- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS Virtual Console game! <br>- Don't re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop! <br>- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC! (You will not brick, but it will cause a boot-loop! Hold A when booting to access the Homebrew Launcher and uninstall CBHC.) <br>- Don't uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without [properly uninstalling CBHC first](uninstall-cbhc)! <br>- Don't move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!
!> Breaking one of the above rules **can** result in a brick!
> If you are worried about breaking one of these rules while using CBHC, consider setting up Parental Controls for your user! Blocking `Data Management` and setting `Game Rating` to the highest possible rating can help prevent common mistakes users may make when using CBHC. Check [here](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1081/~/how-to-change-parental-controls) for more information on how to change your Parental Controls settings.
- Requires a legitimately installed paid DS Virtual Console game from the eShop.
- Automatically launches custom firmware on every boot.
### [**Continue with CBHC**](cbhc/ds-vc-choice) {docsify-ignore}
## Mocha
- Does not require any game, and is therefore free.
- Needs to be re-launched through the browser exploit every reboot to enable custom firmware.
- Is not compatible with the Homebrew Launcher Channel.
- May require an Internet connection depending on what entry point you choose.

## Browser Exploit {docsify-ignore}
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.

## Choose Your DS VC Game
The first thing to decide is what DS Virtual Console (usually abbreviated as "VC") game you will buy.
Please note that the game you injected Haxchi/CBHC into will not be playable anymore until you uninstall Haxchi/CBHC and reinstall the game from the eShop.
### Compatible DS VC Games
?> If you have a European region console, there is a chance that you might already have got <code>Dr. Kawashima's <wbr>Brain <wbr>Training: <wbr>How <wbr>Old <wbr>is <wbr>Your <wbr>Brain?</code> for free. Head over [to the eShop](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8563/~/how-to-view-previously-downloaded-titles-on-wii-u) and check if you got the game.
If you do not own any of the games listed below, we recommend buying Brain Age (North America) or Brain Training (Europe) as it currently is in the cheapest price bracket of compatible games and is the game we least expect you to want to play.

## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
?> If the install fails for some reason, try uninstalling and redownloading the DS VC game from the eShop and make sure it is being installed to the NAND.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. If you haven't already, now download your DS VC game of choice from the eShop.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Haxchi app.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate the cursor to the game you want to install Haxchi to and press the A button to install it.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu. You will see your game replaced by a Haxchi icon.
1. Run the modified DS game. This will reboot the console and enable CFW.
1. You will need to run your Haxchi DS game every reboot to launch CFW.
1. You can now re-attach any USB devices you had attached before starting the guide.

If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore}
In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Launch web browser exploit as [previously explained](browser-exploit) but this time, you will need to hold the B button.
1. Navigate to `nanddumper` using the Gamepad and press A to launch it.
1. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

Currently, homebrewing the Wii U does not expose you to a risk of being banned by Nintendo unless you cheat in online games, or do eShop fraud. You should, however, always be careful with launching downloaded homebrew, especially if you don't trust the source, as homebrew can potentially damage your system!
### What is Haxchi, and do I need it?
### What are exploits?
Haxchi is a secondary entry point which uses certain DS Virtual Console titles to allow for access to homebrew while being completely offline (still works with online but no connection required to launch CFW)
Exploits are entry points which allow further homebrew to be run. In the main guide, you will use exploits such as the browser exploit (http://wiiuexploit.xyz) and PayloadLoader (Health & Safety exploit). All current exploits load `SD:/wiiu/payload.elf` which takes over further loading of homebrew.
Haxchi is **not** required, however, if you want to use homebrew on your Wii U without the internet browser you will need it. It's recommended as it's more convenient to get into CFW than using the Browser Exploit and Mocha CFW.
### What are payloads?
The cheapest DS Virtual Console games usable for this exploit:
- Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training [PAL]
- Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! [USA]
- Kawashima: Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training [JPN]
Payloads, which are normally found with the filename `payload.elf`, exist to make it easier to have different exploits load the same next stage, which allows easier updateability. It doesn't matter what exploit loads the payload, the result is always the same. Multiple payloads can be switched between using the PayloadLoaderPayload. The payload used in the main guide is CustomRPXLoader which loads `SD:/wiiu/payload.rpx` and the `payload.rpx` used in the guide is EnvironmentLoader, which allows you to load different environments.
### What are environments?
An environment is a collection of "setup modules", which will be run in a certain order when launching the environment. One such environment is Tiramisu. Setup modules are small pieces of homebrew/code that are executed once to set up an environment.
### Can I install games from my USB instead of SD?

## Choose Your DS VC Game
The first thing to decide is what DS Virtual Console (usually abbreviated as "VC") game you will buy.
Please note that the game you injected Haxchi/CBHC into will not be playable anymore until you uninstall Haxchi/CBHC and reinstall the game from the eShop.
### Compatible DS VC Games
?> If you have a European region console, there is a chance that you might already have got <code>Dr. Kawashima's <wbr>Brain <wbr>Training: <wbr>How <wbr>Old <wbr>is <wbr>Your <wbr>Brain?</code> for free. Head over [to the eShop](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8563/~/how-to-view-previously-downloaded-titles-on-wii-u) and check if you got the game.

## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U. Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC: <br>- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop! <br>- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed! <br>- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS Virtual Console game! <br>- Don't re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop! <br>- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC! <br>- Don't uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without [properly uninstalling CBHC first](../uninstall-cbhc)! <br>- Don't move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!
!> Breaking one of the above rules will result in a brick.
> If you are worried about breaking one of these rules while using CBHC, consider setting up Parental Controls for your user! Blocking `Data Management` and setting `Game Rating` to the highest possible rating can help prevent common mistakes users may make when using CBHC. Check [here](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1081/~/how-to-change-parental-controls) for more information on how to change your Parental Controls settings.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. If you haven't already, now download your DS Virtual Console game of choice from the eShop.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Haxchi app.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate the cursor to the game you want to install Haxchi to and press the A button to install it.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu. You will see your game replaced by a Haxchi icon.
1. Run the modified DS game. This will reboot the console and enable CFW.
1. Run the modified DS game again and hold the A button after launching it. This will run the Homebrew Launcher.
1. Navigate the Homebrew launcher and run the CBHC app.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate the cursor to the game you previously installed Haxchi to and press the A button to install CBHC.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu.
1. Reboot your console. If CBHC installed correctly, you should see a new boot menu. (CBHC is not compatible with Quick Start. If you are using the Quick Start Menu, please turn it off.)
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate to `Autoboot: Disabled` and press the A button until it says `Autoboot: System Menu`.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate to `Boot System Menu` and press the A button. This will launch the Wii U Menu with CFW enabled.
1. Your console now automatically boots into CFW every reboot.
1. You can now re-attach any USB devices you had attached before starting the guide.

## Making a NAND Backup {docsify-ignore}
In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
?> The Wii U NAND is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your NAND. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional `MLC` section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover most types of bricks.
?> Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires additional hardware and micro soldering skills. <br>However, making a NAND Backup is **always** useful, so please do not skip it. <br>Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles **won't** work.
1. Navigate through the Homebrew Launcher and launch the `Wii U NAND Dumper` app.
1. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **yes**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **yes**
1. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
1. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
1. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slc.bin`, `slccmpt.bin`, `seeprom.bin`, `otp.bin` and if you chose to go with a full backup, `every mlc.bin.part` file to your computer.
1. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.

# Choose The CFW You Want
---
!> **THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THIS PAGE ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED**
**CURRENT METHOD IS AVAILABLE [HERE](../introduction)**
?> Before starting, make sure to update your Wii U console to the latest firmware (5.5.5) if you haven't already.
There are two main custom firmwares: Haxchi/Coldboot Haxchi (usually abbreviated as "CBHC"), as well as Mocha.
Haxchi/CBHC are both injected into a paid DS Virtual Console game. Haxchi will need to be manually started off the Wii U Menu to boot custom firmware, while CBHC will boot custom firmware automatically while the system is booting up. Mocha is accessed through the browser exploit or the Indexiine method, which makes it the only free custom firmware.
The custom firmware you decide to use is ultimately **your** preference. There is no right or wrong custom firmware to go with, so it is recommended that you feel free to pick the one that sounds the best for your needs!
## Haxchi
- Requires a legitimately installed, paid DS Virtual Console game from the eShop.
- Can be used to launch CFW directly from the Wii U Menu.
- Needs to be re-launched from the Wii U Menu every reboot to enable custom firmware.
- Its functionality can be extended by installing Coldboot Haxchi (CBHC) to a Haxchi installation.
### [**Continue with Haxchi**](haxchi/ds-vc-choice) {docsify-ignore}
## CBHC
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U! Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC: <br>- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop! <br>- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed! <br>- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS Virtual Console game! <br>- Don't re-install the same game using WUP Installer or from the eShop! <br>- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC! (You will not brick, but it will cause a boot-loop! Hold A when booting to access the Homebrew Launcher and uninstall CBHC.) <br>- Don't uninstall the DS Virtual Console game without [properly uninstalling CBHC first](uninstall-cbhc)! <br>- Don't move the DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive!
!> Breaking one of the above rules **can** result in a brick!
> If you are worried about breaking one of these rules while using CBHC, consider setting up Parental Controls for your user! Blocking `Data Management` and setting `Game Rating` to the highest possible rating can help prevent common mistakes users may make when using CBHC. Check [here](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1081/~/how-to-change-parental-controls) for more information on how to change your Parental Controls settings.
- Requires a legitimately installed paid DS Virtual Console game from the eShop.
- Automatically launches custom firmware on every boot.
### [**Continue with CBHC**](cbhc/ds-vc-choice) {docsify-ignore}
## Mocha
- Does not require any game, and is therefore free.
- Needs to be re-launched through the browser exploit every reboot to enable custom firmware.
- Is not compatible with the Homebrew Launcher Channel.
- May require an Internet connection depending on what entry point you choose.

## Browser Exploit {docsify-ignore}
To install CFW, we first need to launch the Homebrew Launcher through the browser exploit. Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
1. Click on `Run Homebrew Launcher!`. Your console should launch the Homebrew Launcher.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.

## Choose Your DS VC Game
The first thing to decide is what DS Virtual Console (usually abbreviated as "VC") game you will buy.
Please note that the game you injected Haxchi/CBHC into will not be playable anymore until you uninstall Haxchi/CBHC and reinstall the game from the eShop.
### Compatible DS VC Games
?> If you have a European region console, there is a chance that you might already have got <code>Dr. Kawashima's <wbr>Brain <wbr>Training: <wbr>How <wbr>Old <wbr>is <wbr>Your <wbr>Brain?</code> for free. Head over [to the eShop](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8563/~/how-to-view-previously-downloaded-titles-on-wii-u) and check if you got the game.
If you do not own any of the games listed below, we recommend buying Brain Age (North America) or Brain Training (Europe) as it currently is in the cheapest price bracket of compatible games and is the game we least expect you to want to play.

## Launching CFW {docsify-ignore}
Now that you have your NAND backup in case anything goes wrong later, you can run CFW on your system.
Unlike systems such as the DSi, Wii, or 3DS, Wii U CFW is temporary. This means that as soon as your system reboots, you will lose CFW and have to follow these instructions again. This can be skipped by installing CBHC to a Haxchi CFW installation.
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
?> If the install fails for some reason, try uninstalling and redownloading the DS VC game from the eShop and make sure it is being installed to the NAND.
1. Take the SD Card out of your PC and plug it into your Wii U.
1. If you haven't already, now download your DS VC game of choice from the eShop.
1. Launch the Homebrew Launcher on your system as [previously explained](browser-exploit).
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and open the Haxchi app.
1. Use the D-Pad to navigate the cursor to the game you want to install Haxchi to and press the A button to install it.
1. Once the installation has finished, your console will launch the Wii U Menu. You will see your game replaced by a Haxchi icon.
1. Run the modified DS game. This will reboot the console and enable CFW.
1. You will need to run your Haxchi DS game every reboot to launch CFW.
1. You can now re-attach any USB devices you had attached before starting the guide.
