A future reference to anyone trying to do this, No, a USB Stick will NOT WORK. The console will ask you to try and change it, and if you cancel and keep going with the steps past the Internet Browser step, it will tell you that you need a card, so yeah.
Same! Got mine ordered yesterday, so I'm excited and happy the guide came out too! Should be here by the 30th and it cost me under $100 for everything including two games, cables, console and all in great condition, can't wait to mod it ❤

FYI you're not telling people to download the Aroma beta, but then you have it downloaded and extract the files unto the SD card. I think people maybe be messing up because of this.

No, you have to use an SD card, at least the first time, and a USB to SD adapter won’t work; I tried it. Some aspects of this modding, I will admit, are quite arduous.

Hi. I’ve copied all necessary files to my SD card and inserted it into the Wii U and navigated to the virtual Wii to check if it is currently working. The Wii menu had a blue SD card button and it was able to load data from the SD card. (it didn’t show any coloured blocks because I don’t have anything but the files on there) When I navigated to the Wii U internet browser and ran the exploit, it took me to the black screen, but instead of displaying, “Please choose your payloads.”, it instead showed, “FSO Open File Failed; could not detect the payload.elf file.”, or something of the sort. I’ve looked online and other people have also had this issue. I checked that I actually had the file and it was there, in the “wiiu” folder. Could someone please provide a cohesive solution?
Saved this video cuz l want a wii u for christmas to mod the shift out of it. I hope l'll be back here in 1 or 2 months. And if l get one, thank you in advance for making this video lol edit: Found one at a garage sale for 60 bucks and bought it with my savings, thanks again for this guide

I bought a used wii u. I'm assuming it has been modded since it gave me a "cant locate payload" message. What can I do from here to figure out what the previous owner has done?
9:10 here is where I got an error message saying “FSGetMountSource failed. Please understand a FAT32 formatted as card” and when I checked the properties of the sd card on my pc it said it was already formatted to FAT32. Putting the SD card back into the Wiiu didn’t do anything. If anyone knows what I did wrong pls let me know
Ok soooooo after going to wiiu hacks guide website I found that my console was most likely not reading the ss card correctly, and that it was probs just dusty in there and turns out it was…..
im having an issue when its telling me my sd card isnt rightable. its not locked, its in fat 32 ive followed every step to the t ut to ging to the exploit site the second time. what am i doing wrong
Cool Tutorial! Anton! I have my og Wii U with a few family profiles with game data from my Wii / Wii U library both physical and legally digital games. Now that the eShop is closed, I'd love to hack my Wii U to install games but I'd love to keep the profiles, game data and my nintendo network ID... is all of this posible? Or we have to start from zero once hacked?
I’m stuck. It keeps on saying failed to open device because the process can’t access The file because it’s being used in another process. How do get past this error? How do I know if it’s converted to FAT32? Edit: never mind I figured it out, I was just stupid
To anyone experiencing this issue, make sure you don't have your sd card opened in the file explorer or inside any other program, as this error will appear because of that. If you're completely sure that you don't have the sd card opened by anything, try to eject and insert it again and repeat. If the problem persists, you're fucked lmao
At 9:18 and I’ve gotten to the step where I’m supposed to get that warning screen, but so far it’s just a black screen on the TV and Gamepad. The console is still running and it’s still playing the loading sound effect, but it’s been a few minutes. Is this normal or did I mess up?
Guys I hacked Wii U and it all went smooth, however I am running out of storage now my Wii U and I want to connect an external hard drive. If I connect the hard drive will I have to move my SD card files over to the hard drive and restart the hacking process?
@@Football-b2w Nah, you should be able to format the external hard drive via Data Management in your Wii U's settings and it'll work as extra storage. No need to do anything to the SD card and no need to restart the hacking process. Then through Data Management you can move games to the hard drive to free up system memory like normal. Reminder that you'll most likely need a cable that has an extra usb cable on the end for power for the hard drive (Just in case cause I balled it and failed when I tried using a normal cable).
I just followed this whole tutorial, and it worked... except I have one issue. I've automatically been signed in to Pretendo Network, thus making me forget my NNID password. Is there a way I can fix that?
