Before you get started
There are several items you should prepare before continuing with this tutorial, these are as follows:
- You'll of course need to own a Wii U
- A regular SD card (or mini/micro with an adapter) of virtually any capacity
- Your SD card has to be formatted FAT32 for the Wii U to be able to read it and the allocation unit size is best set to 32KB.
- On larger SD cards (64GB+) Windows will likely not let you format the card FAT32, to circumvent that use guiformat
- Your Wii U is able to connect to your WiFi network to be able to dump files via FTP
- Also make sure the Wii U account you want to dump/use has the "Save password" option checked (auto login)
Preparing your SD card on your PC with the necessary files
If your SD card is formatted correctly it is time to copy the necessary files to it.
I recommend downloading the prepared zip file from https://jorgev259.github.io/wiiusetup/ - select Wii U only
It pulls (almost) all the required tools from their official sources and neatly packs them into a archive that is ready to be copied to your SD card as is.
Once you have downloaded the archive simply extract the contents right onto your SD card keeping the folder structure of the archive intact.
- If you use Coldboot Haxchi (OR) Regular Haxchi [Requires purchasing a $7 VirtualConsole Game]:
- Download FTPiiU Everywhere from https://github.com/FIX94/ftpiiu/releases and place
ftpiiu.elf
into yourSD:\wiiu\apps
folder.
- Download FTPiiU Everywhere from https://github.com/FIX94/ftpiiu/releases and place
- If you want to use Mocha and/or Regular Haxchi CFW, you'll need to install an alternative version of FTPiiU Everywhere:
- For easy Homebrew Channel access with Regular Haxchi you will also require to purchase the same $7 Virtual Console Game as mentioned above.
- Download FTPiiU Everywhere from https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526469047890739220/542145496374837250/ftpiiu_everywhere.zip and place
ftpiiu.elf
into yourSD:\wiiu\apps
folder.
- Download FTPiiU Everywhere from https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526469047890739220/542145496374837250/ftpiiu_everywhere.zip and place
Launching the web exploit and loading up the Homebrew Launcher
The browser exploit might require many tries to get to work.
To make the process of retrieving the required online files easier you can patch a DS Virtual Console game to launch the Homebrew Menu, that way you only need to do the browser exploit once - to patch the DS VC game. If you already own VC Game that's viable or wish to purchase one for $7.00 USD, please see the section "(Optional) Installing Haxchi on top of your DS VC game" later.
If you don't own any of the listed DS VC games nor want to buy any of them then you will have to do the browser exploit twice, once for dumping the otp.bin
& seeprom.bin
and once for dumping the rest of the files through FTPiiU Everywhere
.
This tutorial will cover both routes.
For system update 5.4.0 to 5.5.X
- Make sure the Wii U is turned off and insert the SD card you have prepared on your PC
- Boot up the Wii U, launch the browser app and open the curtains by pressing (X) on the gamepad
- Go into the browser settings and choose
Reset save data
- Open the URL http://wiiuexploit.xyz (it is recommended that you bookmark this URL since you might need to try this a couple of times)
- Press the
Exploit
button for your firmware and wait. - If the Homebrew Launcher loads up you were successful, if your browser is frozen you need to try again (hold the power button until the console turns off and reboot it)
- This might take a good few tries, resetting the browser save data after every attempt might aid this process.
If you get a FSGetMountSource error trying to load the Homebrew Launcher try going into the mii maker and save a screenshot of any Mii to the sd card, this usually fixes potential inconsistencies in the SD file system that might have caused a conflict.
(Optional) Installing Coldboot Haxchi (CBHC) on top of a DS VC game
Skip to this section if you don't own any of the DS VC titles listed and don't want to buy one.
The following DS VC games are supported:
- Animal Crossing: Wild World
- Big Brain Academy
- Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!
- DK: Jungle Climber
- Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training
- Kirby: Canvas Curse
- The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
- Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
- Mario Kart DS
- New Super Mario Bros.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky
- Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia
- Starfox Command
- Super Mario 64 DS
- Wario: Master of Disguise
- WarioWare: Touched!
- Yoshi’s Island DS
- Yoshi Touch & Go
The cheapest are Brain Age (USA)
or Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training (EUR)
at around $7.00 USD which can be purchased and downloaded in the eShop app.
The DS VC game must be installed to your System Memory (NAND) - not to your SD or USB.
Assuming you are now in the Homebrew Launcher choose Haxchi from the available apps and once it's launched select the DS VC game you want to install Haxchi over (this will patch the DS VC game to launch the Haxchi Menu instead which gives access to a shortcut for the Homebrew Channel) - Additionally, your Wii U can now be booted with CFW immediately without having to run any exploits.
When it is done you will be booted back to the System Menu and you should see your DS VC game's icon replaced with the "Haxchi /!\ Icon".
Launching this shortcut while holding (A) on your gamepad will show you a menu where you can launch the Homebrew Channel. You can also add a Homebrew Channel shortcut to your System Menu if you search online if you prefer to do so; this kind of thing will only work while using a CFW or Coldboot Haxchi.
Dumping the required online files for CEMU
Using Coldboot Haxchi (CBHC) CFW:
- Go back to the Homebrew Channel through the Haxchi Shortcut (holding (A) on your gamepad)
- While in the Homebrew Channel, launch the
nanddumper
app.
Using Mocha &/or Haxchi CFW:
- Repeat the browser exploit from earlier to get into the Homebrew Channel or open it with Haxchi.
- While in the Homebrew Channel, launch the
nanddumper
app.
Mocha Note: If Mocha CFW has been launched at any point since the last system reboot, before opening nanddumper, nanddumper will not work. So you will have to reboot your Wii U first to disable Mocha CFW and then get back into the Homebrew Channel through the Browser Exploit.
- In nanddumper set
OTP (1KB)
andSEEPROM (1KB)
to <yes> and everything else to <no>.
The otp.bin and seeprom.bin will be dumped onto your SD card, afterwards your Wii U will reboot.
Using Coldboot Haxchi CFW (CBHC):
- Go back to the Homebrew Channel through the Haxchi Shortcut (holding (A) on your gamepad)
- Select the option to launch the Homebrew Channel
- Launch
FTPiiU Everywhere
from the Homebrew Channel (ensure this is the FTPiiU Everywhere version meant for Haxchi (CBHC), provided earlier in this guide.)
Using Mocha &/or Haxchi CFW:
- Repeat the browser exploit from earlier to get into the Homebrew Channel or launch it through Haxchi.
- Once you are back in the Homebrew Channel, select and launch
Mocha
- Make sure
Don't relaunch OS
is set to <on> - Press (A) and you will be booted back into the Wii U System Menu
- Start the Mii Maker Channel (the browser exploit will have patched it temporarily and it will launch the Homebrew Channel)
- Launch
FTPiiU Everywhere
from the Homebrew Channel (ensure this is the FTPiiU Everywhere version meant for Mocha & Regular Haxchi, provided earlier in this guide.)
Now it is time to dump the necessary files from your Wii U NAND through FTPiiU Everywhere.
- FTPiiU Everywhere will tell you on which IP and port it is listening
- Install FileZilla ( https://filezilla-project.org/ ) or if you prefer WinSCP.
- Connect to your Wii U via the FTP Client (FileZilla -
File --> Site Manager --> "New Site"
and add the IP and Port given by FTPiiU - FileZilla: Once again in Site Manager with your Wii U "Site" selected,
Transfer Settings --> Set "Maximum Number of Connections" to 1
- After you opt to Connect, you should now see a bunch of folders, most of them called storage_something after it connects successfully.
'Download' the following files from your Wii U via the FTP client:
storage_mlc\sys\title\0005001b\10054000\content\ccerts\ (the entire ccerts folder)
storage_mlc\sys\title\0005001b\10054000\content\scerts\ (the entire scerts folder)
storage_mlc\usr\save\system\act\800000xx\account.dat
(You will likely have multiple 800000xx
folders in storage_mlc\usr\save\system\act
- potentially starting as low as 80000001
and having any range of numbering - inspect the account.dat
with Wordpad or Notepad++ in each folder if you have multiple to find which one is the account.dat
belonging to the account you want to use for Cemu, you will be able to tell by the AccountId
field)
If you want to use the friend list app with Cemu to add or remove people you will also need to dump the following folder (depending on the region of your console the exact folder name will differ)
JP: storage_mlc\sys\title\00050030\1001500A
US: storage_mlc\sys\title\00050030\1001510A
EU: storage_mlc\sys\title\00050030\1001520A
Last but not least if you want Miis in games to have heads you will need to dump the following folder:
storage_mlc\sys\title\0005001b\10056000
Now all the dumped files need to be copied to the Cemu folder keeping the exact folder structure from the Wii U intact with the exception that storage_mlc
becomes just mlc01
(Cemu\mlc01
).
For example: (make sure your region matches where it should go)
otp.bin: Cemu\otp.bin
seeprom.bin: Cemu\seeprom.bin
Account: Cemu\mlc01\usr\save\system\act\80000001\account.dat
(it must always go in 80000001 for Cemu)
CCERTS: Cemu\mlc01\sys\title\0005001b\10054000\content\ccerts
SCERTS: Cemu\mlc01\sys\title\0005001b\10054000\content\scerts
Mii Heads: Cemu\mlc01\sys\title\0005001b\10056000
Friend List USA: Cemu\mlc01\sys\title\00050030\1001500A
(you will have to add this to your Game List in General Settings for it to appear.)
Right now Cemu only accepts the user 80000001
which means the account.dat
has to go to
Cemu\mlc01\usr\save\system\act\80000001\
no matter which numbering it originally had.
Lastly copy the otp.bin
and seeprom.bin
from your SD card into your Cemu folder (root directory where the Cemu.exe
remains).
You should now be able to launch Cemu and select your account as Active account in Options
->General Settings
->Online
.
