How to install Haxchi (Or CBHC)

Why? I thought it would be fun to make a guide like this! :D

Info icon IMPORANT: With the closure of the eShop for Wii U and 3DS, It is no longer possible to purchase any new DS VC game. Therefore the only way to install Haxchi is if you already have had a compatible DS game from before.

What's required:

  • A legally purchased DS Virtual Console game compatible with Haxchi (most common is Brain Age)
  • An SD Card (Recomended 32 GB)
  • A device such as a computer that can transfer files to the SD card.
  • A Wii U with internet access

SD Prep:

This section will place all the required files needed to get started, as well as some additional homebrew apps.

What you need:

Info icon Be sure to have your SD card formatted as FAT32, not exFAT or NTFS. You can use GUIFormat with 32K (32768) allocation unit size to format it.

Instructions:

  1. Insert your SD card into your computer.
  2. Copy the 4 folders from the Haxchi Complete All in One.zip (the "haxchi", "cbhc", "install", and "wiiu" folders) to the root of your SD card.

Wait, that's it?

Yes, that zip file included all the apps and files needed to homebrew, but we are not finished homebrewing yet.

Here is what we just copied over:

  • Homebrew Launcher Installer
    • Launches the Homebrew Launcher through an online exploit
  • The Homebrew Launcher
    • Launches different homebrew apps
  • The Homebrew Launcher Channel
    • Let's you launch the Homebrew Launcher from the Wii U Home Menu
  • WUP Installer GX2
    • Installs WUP formatted applications (For example, the Homebrew Launcher Channel)
  • Wii U NAND Dumper
    • Backs up your Wii U's internal storage incase of a disaster
  • SaveMii
    • A save manager for your Wii U
  • The Homebrew App Store
    • Where you can get new homebrew apps
  • Haxchi Installer
    • Installs Haxchi
  • CBHC Installer
    • Installs CBHC

Thats alot of stuff right? Don't worry, they will be very useful.

Congrats on making it this far! I fully believe you can make it all the way!
