===What You Need:===

*The [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EEB7ADev/thecloud/main/Haxchi%20Complete%20All%20in%20One.zip Haxchi/CBHC Complete All in One] zip file (Direct Download)

Line 112:

You should now see your DS game be replaced with a Haxchi Icon or name. If you launch it, the console will reboot, now with cfw enabled!

You may now reattach any USB drives you unpluged.

{{Info|text=Please note that Haxchi is a temporary CFW, meaning it wont persist on the next reboot. To bypass this, we can install CBHC. More on that later...}}

Line 138:

{{Info|text=From now on, to launch the Homebrew Launcher, you can simply launch the Homebrew Launcher app on the Home Menu. Note that if you get error 199-9999 while launching it, or any homebrew app you installed on the Home Menu, you likely forgot to launch the Haxchi app beforehand. (Or CBHC magically uninstalled itself)}}

==That's it!==

Congratulations! 🎉 🥳 👏 You just successfully installed Haxchi onto your system, and are now at a point where you can start customizing and install homebrew apps. (If you want to install CBHC, that is a bit further down)

===Now What?===

CBHC is still a bit furhter down if you want to install it 😅

You can now:

*Install homebrew apps from the Homebrew App Store

*Dump your discs

*Use Bloopair

*Run mods with SDCafiine

*Customize the Haxchi appearance (ie. the icon, name, and boot sound.)

{{Info|text=Note: I highly recommend downloading the "Close HBL" app from the app store so that you dont have to go through the Mii Maker in order to exit the Homebrew Launcher. Does not apply to the Homebrew Launcher Channel}}{{Info|text=Note: The Homebrew App store included in the bundle is the latest designed for Aroma support. That being said it still works with the Haxchi. The only difference is that pressing - to exit will go to the Home Menu rather than the Homebrew Launcher}}

==Very Optional: Installing CBHC (Cold Boot Haxchi)==

If you are tired to launching CFW every time you boot up, there is a way to bypass that. We can install CBHC, aka Cold Boot Haxchi, ontop of Haxchi.

There are many risks when installing CBHC, here be dragons!

{{Warning|text=When installing CBHC, you must take EXTREME caution that none of the following occurs:

- The DS game has to be legit from the eShop!

- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed!

- Don't delete the account that bought the game!

- Don't reinstall the DS game using WUP Installer or the eShop!

- Don't Install Haxchi over CBHC! (You won't brick, but it will cause a bootloop! Hold A when booting to access the Homebrew Launcher and uninstall CBHC.)

- Don't uninstall the DS game WITHOUT [https://wiiu.hacks.guide/uninstall-cbhc.html properly uninstalling CBHC!]

- Don't move the DS game to a USB Drive!}}{{Warning|text=If you would like to take precautions to protect yourself from potential bricks, you can move the DS game to the last page on the Home Menu and/or enable Parental Controls to block Data Management.}}

Sincw we already have Haxchi fully installed, half the work is done!

We just need to install CBHC over Haxchi and we are done.

===What You Need:===

*Your Wii U modded with Haxchi

*Confidence that you wont brick your console, nowadays using [https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/udpih UDPIH] you can easily recover from a CBHC brick.

===Instructions:===

#Boot up your console and launch Haxchi

#Launch the Homebrew Launcher

#Navigate to CBHC Installer and load it

#Select your DS Game using the DPAD and A

#After reading the warning, press A to install CBHC

#Now reboot your console

#If the installation succeeded, you will see a new menu titled <code>CBHC v1.6 by FIX94</code>

#Use the DPAD to scroll down to <code>Autoboot: Disabled</code>

#Press A to turn it from Disabled to System Menu (FYI: CBHC is not compatible with the quick start menu, if you have it enabled, you should disable it)

#Scroll back up to <code>Boot System Menu</code>

#Press A to select it and boot

Thats it!

{{Info|text=Note: You may have noticed your DS game now has an exclamation mark and is now named DONT TOUCH ME. This is just another precaution to protect your system from bricks. Also, dont launch the DONT TOUCH ME app, it might crash. Nothing a good old force reboot can't solve.}}{{Info|text=Note: If for whatever reason you dont have your gamepad and you need to use the CBHC boot menu, you can do so using the sync button, where one click scrolls through, and double clicks selects the option.}}{{Info|text=So here's a quick tip to check if CBHC is installed or not, because its happened that CBHC magically uninstalls itself through a system update.

- The screen blacks for a bit on boot showing the CBHC v1.6 screen

- The system version is 99.99.99

- if the two above were not true, then launch the DONT TOUCH ME app, if it launches CBHC successfully, then CBHC has been uninstalled}}

==GUIDE COMPLETE!==

Thats basically it for installing Haxchi or CBHC! If you are wondering how everything works, then read along! Although Ididnt make any of these homebrew apps, I can gie you an idea of what each step did/does

====How It All Works:====

*The browser exploit looks for a file named <code>sd:/wiiu/payload.elf</code>

*The SD card must be formatted in FAT32 with a MBR partition style or the Wii U cant read it. This results in common errors like <code>FSGetMountSource failed</code> or <code>SD Mount failed</code>

*The <code>payload.elf</code> file can be programmed to do different things, in this case, it is meant to open the Homebrew Launcher. When installing Aroma, this launches payloadloader.

*When Haxchi is being installed its taking advantage of an exploit present in some DS VC games.

*WUP Installer GX2 installs WUP formatted applications which cant be run normally without cfw, they will give error 199-999. cfw is required to launch apps installed by WUP Installer GX2.

*does the homebrew launcher channel need the app in the sd card or no? i need to check

*The way CBHC works is by changing the Boot Title of the Wii U from the Home Menu to the DS Game. If you are thinking that this is the same as Aroma, it is but its alot safer because the injected program is not a game that can be moved around and deleted, rather its a system app that isnt going anywhere.

Thats it.
