These steps will prepare your SD card in preparation for installing coldboothax custom firmware.
|
|
{: .notice--primary}
|
|
|
|
Before beginning, you should make sure your Wii U is currently on firmware 5.5.0 or 5.5.1. The latest firmware update (5.5.2) patches the browser exploit that we'll be using.
|
|
{: .notice--info}
|
|
|
|
Your SD card is recommended to be at least 16GB or 32GB to have enough space for dumping and installing games.
|
|
{: .notice--info}
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
Your SD card **cannot** be named `wiiu`, or it will cause problems.
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
Before starting, you may want to check your SD card for errors using [H2testw (Windows)](h2testw-(windows)), [F3 (Linux)](f3-(linux)), or [F3X (Mac)](f3x-(mac))!
