What You Need

  • The latest release of phacoxcll's CDecrypt fork (the CDecrypt.zip file)
    • Only a Windows build is provided, Mac and Linux users may need to manually compile the source code.
  • The latest release of NUSPacker (direct download)
    • NUSPacker requires that you have Java installed on your system to work.
  • An image editor that supports the .tga image format
  • The MetaVerify.py script (click "Download ZIP" on the GitHub page to download)
    • This script requires that you have Python 3.7.4+ installed on your system to work.
  • The Homebrew Launcher Channel v2.1 (direct download)
  • The .rpx file of whichever homebrew program you are making a channel for
  • The Wii U Common Key
    • This is in the otp.bin file from your console's NAND dump. Extract it using this Common Key Extractor. Copy the key and save it in a text file somewhere; it will be needed later.
    • If you cannot get the extractor to work, the key can also be obtained by opening otp.bin in a hex editor, and is located at offsets 0x000000E0 to 0x000000EF. If extracted correctly, it should be a 32-character long hexadecimal number starting with D7B0.
