Your SD card is recommended to be at least 16GB or 32GB to have enough space for dumping and installing games. If you want to make a backup of your Wii U's system in case it needs to be restored in the future, you will need an SD card at least twice the size of your Wii U's system memory (16GB SD card for an 8GB white console; 64GB SD card for a 32GB black console).
|
||||
|
||||
Your SD card must be formatted as FAT32 (64KB clusters if possible). Most SD cards will be formatted this way by default.

##### Section II - DS Virtual Console Game
|
||||
|
||||
There are two methods for using Wii U custom firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
The first method is to run a browser exploit through the browser which will patch the system. Unfortunately, the nature of this exploit is that this *must* be run after every reboot. Additionally, the browser exploit compatible with 5.5.2 is very unreliable making this an even less usable option.
|
||||
|
||||
The second method is to purchase a very cheap exploitable DS Virtual Console game to launch your Custom Firmware automatically at boot. This is *essentially required* for users on 5.5.2 because of the aforementioned instability with the 5.5.2 browser exploit.
|
||||
|
||||
The DS Virtual Console game *must* be a **legitimately purchased** copy of the game installed to the **internal memory** of your device. You *cannot* install this DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the DS Virtual Console method, you should purchase the game before proceeding to the next section.
|
||||
{: .notice--primary}

##### Section II - DS Virtual Console Game
|
||||
|
||||
There are two methods for using Wii U custom firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
The first method is to run a browser exploit through the browser which will patch the system. Unfortunately, the nature of this exploit is that this *must* be run after every reboot. Additionally, the browser exploit compatible with 5.5.2 is very unreliable making this an even less usable option.
|
||||
|
||||
The second method is to purchase a very cheap exploitable DS Virtual Console game to launch your Custom Firmware automatically at boot. This is *essentially required* for users on 5.5.2 because of the aforementioned instability with the 5.5.2 browser exploit.
|
||||
|
||||
The DS Virtual Console game *must* be a **legitimately purchased** copy of the game installed to the **internal memory** of your device. You *cannot* install this DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the DS Virtual Console method, you should purchase the game before proceeding to the next section.
|
||||
{: .notice--primary}

Your SD card is recommended to be at least 16GB or 32GB to have enough space for dumping and installing games. If you want to make a backup of your Wii U's system in case it needs to be restored in the future, you will need an SD card at least twice the size of your Wii U's system memory (16GB SD card for an 8GB white console; 64GB SD card for a 32GB black console).
|
||||
|
||||
Your SD card must be formatted as FAT32 (64KB clusters if possible). Most SD cards will be formatted this way by default.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to format an SD card on Windows, do not use the built in formatter or it may cause issues. Use [`guiformat`](http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm) instead and set to an Allocation Unit Size of 64KB.

##### Section II - DS Virtual Console Game
|
||||
|
||||
There are two methods for using Wii U custom firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
The first method is to run a browser exploit through the browser which will patch the system. Unfortunately, the nature of this exploit is that this *must* be run after every reboot. Additionally, the browser exploit compatible with 5.5.2 is very unreliable making this an even less usable option.
|
||||
|
||||
The second method is to purchase a very cheap exploitable DS Virtual Console game to launch your Custom Firmware automatically at boot. This is *essentially required* for users on 5.5.2 because of the aforementioned instability with the 5.5.2 browser exploit.
|
||||
|
||||
The DS Virtual Console game *must* be a **legitimately purchased** copy of the game installed to the **internal memory** of your device. You *cannot* install this DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the DS Virtual Console method, you should purchase the game before proceeding to the next section.
|
||||
{: .notice--primary}

Your SD card is recommended to be at least 16GB or 32GB to have enough space for dumping and installing games. If you want to make a backup of your Wii U's system in case it needs to be restored in the future, you will need an SD card at least twice the size of your Wii U's system memory (16GB SD card for an 8GB white console; 64GB SD card for a 32GB black console).

##### Section II - DS Virtual Console Game
|
||||
|
||||
There are two methods for using Wii U custom firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
The first method is to run a browser exploit through the browser which will patch the system. Unfortunately, the nature of this exploit is that this *must* be run after every reboot. Additionally, the browser exploit compatible with 5.5.2 is very unreliable making this an even less usable option.
|
||||
|
||||
The second method is to purchase a very cheap exploitable DS Virtual Console game to launch your Custom Firmware automatically at boot. This is *essentially required* for users on 5.5.2 because of the aforementioned instability with the 5.5.2 browser exploit.
|
||||
|
||||
The DS Virtual Console game *must* be a **legitimately purchased** copy of the game installed to the **internal memory** of your device. You *cannot* install this DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the DS Virtual Console method, you should purchase the game before proceeding to the next section.
|
||||
{: .notice--primary}

##### Section II - DS Virtual Console Game
|
||||
|
||||
There are two methods for using Wii U custom firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
The first method is to run a browser exploit through the browser which will patch the system. Unfortunately, the nature of this exploit is that this *must* be run after every reboot. Additionally, the browser exploit compatible with 5.5.2 is very unreliable making this an even less usable option.
|
||||
|
||||
The second method is to purchase a very cheap exploitable DS Virtual Console game to launch your Custom Firmware automatically at boot. This is *essentially required* for users on 5.5.2 because of the aforementioned instability with the 5.5.2 browser exploit.
|
||||
|
||||
The DS Virtual Console game *must* be a **legitimately purchased** copy of the game installed to the **internal memory** of your device. You *cannot* install this DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the DS Virtual Console method, you should purchase the game before proceeding to the next section.
|
||||

These steps will prepare your SD card for installing Coldboot Haxchi custom firmware.
|

Es wird empfohlen, dass deine SD-Karte mindestens 16GB oder 32GB groß ist um genug Platz zum dumpen und installieren von Spielen zu bieten. If you want to make a backup of your Wii U's system in case it needs to be restored in the future, you will need an SD card at least twice the size of your Wii U's system memory (16GB SD card for an 8GB white console; 64GB SD card for a 32GB black console).
|
||||

||||
Deine SD-Karte muss als FAT32 (64KB Cluster wenn möglich) formatiert sein. Die meisten SD-Karten werden standardmäßig so formatiert.

##### Section II - DS Virtual Console Game
|
||||
|
||||
There are two methods for using Wii U custom firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
The first method is to run a browser exploit through the browser which will patch the system. Unfortunately, the nature of this exploit is that this *must* be run after every reboot. Additionally, the browser exploit compatible with 5.5.2 is very unreliable making this an even less usable option.
|
||||
|
||||
The second method is to purchase a very cheap exploitable DS Virtual Console game to launch your Custom Firmware automatically at boot. This is *essentially required* for users on 5.5.2 because of the aforementioned instability with the 5.5.2 browser exploit.
|
||||
|
||||
The DS Virtual Console game *must* be a **legitimately purchased** copy of the game installed to the **internal memory** of your device. You *cannot* install this DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the DS Virtual Console method, you should purchase the game before proceeding to the next section.
|
||||

Your SD card is recommended to be at least 16GB or 32GB to have enough space for dumping and installing games. If you want to make a backup of your Wii U's system in case it needs to be restored in the future, you will need an SD card at least twice the size of your Wii U's system memory (16GB SD card for an 8GB white console; 64GB SD card for a 32GB black console).
|
||||

Your SD card must be formatted as FAT32 (64KB clusters if possible). Most SD cards will be formatted this way by default.

##### Section II - DS Virtual Console Game
|
||||
|
||||
There are two methods for using Wii U custom firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
The first method is to run a browser exploit through the browser which will patch the system. Unfortunately, the nature of this exploit is that this *must* be run after every reboot. Additionally, the browser exploit compatible with 5.5.2 is very unreliable making this an even less usable option.
|
||||
|
||||
The second method is to purchase a very cheap exploitable DS Virtual Console game to launch your Custom Firmware automatically at boot. This is *essentially required* for users on 5.5.2 because of the aforementioned instability with the 5.5.2 browser exploit.
|
||||
|
||||
The DS Virtual Console game *must* be a **legitimately purchased** copy of the game installed to the **internal memory** of your device. You *cannot* install this DS Virtual Console game to a USB drive.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the DS Virtual Console method, you should purchase the game before proceeding to the next section.
|
||||
{: .notice--primary}
