Getting Started

Different CFWs

The first thing to decide is what CFW you want to use.

There are two main CFWs:

Haxchi

  • Requires a legitimately installed paid DS VC 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 CFW.
  • It's functionality can be extended by installing ColdBootHaxchi (CBHC) to a Haxchi installation.

Haxchi and ColdBootHaxchi (CBHC)

!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U. Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC:

  • The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop

  • Don't format the system while CBHC is installed

  • Don't delete the user account that bought the DS VC game

  • Don't re-install the same game using wup installer or from the eShop

  • Don't install Haxchi over CBHC

  • Requires a working Haxchi installation.

  • Automatically launches CFW on every boot.
