Are you using the loadiine in my guide? It won't trigger it.

So does ddd also need to be in the rood of the SD card or located somewhere else? I'm just making sure now how to set everything up. I don't have a SD card yet, so I'll need to get that first before I can actually try it out. Just want to be ready to go once I've bought a new one. I'm planning on ripping Maiden of Black Water.
So finally getting around to buying an SD Card and just saw this on Nintendo's website,
http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1263/~/what-sd-cards-are-compatible?
So according to this, the maximum SD Card size supported by the Wii U is 32GB, and it only supports SDHC, doesn't support SDXC or UHS for faster speeds.
Is that the case? Nothing bigger than 32GB? Might need a couple at that capacity.

Can't say too much about the WiiU side of things. However the 3ds SD limit is also 32GB but you can use higher cards by copying partitions on a smaller card, transferring it to a larger card, and expanding the partition.
Don't know what sites I can link to but search for "3ds 64gb sd card" and you should find some guides on how to handle the general process.

Well shit. I have a 64GB SDXC.So I'm double-screwed.
I'm pretty sure just formatting it to FAT32 does the trick.
That's how I have a 128GB card in my 3DS.
Yep.
Use guiformat.

You can use any size SD with the Wii U and 3DS as long as you format it to FAT32 with that tool. Nintendo just don't want people buying SDXC cards and expecting them to work immediately.

I don't have a regular SD card. I have an SDXC, which I never even knew was a thing. That Nintendo site says they aren't supported 
Oooh. I get what you're saying. Gotcha. I'll give it a try. Thank you.

Titledumper works fine with Windows 10. I've dumped all of my games so far with it.

Maaaaaaannn.... I'm doing something wrong. Got space on my sd card, got the appropriate files there...but I'm missing something...using my IP add....

It usually means your SD card is a bit wonky.
Some people fixed it by formatting and starting fresh.
I think I have to buy a new one, and start from scratch.
Tried 2 different SD-Card, one micro the other normal, formatted both a gazillion times but always the same problem.
Do I have to do something on the WiiU too?
Like empty the cache or cookies?
Would love some help
thanks rich, i actually found it on the loadiine page right after posting the message!

No progress on a more "permanent" solution? When the next update hits (probably very soon), deciding between homebrew and Smash/Splatoon/Mario Maker online will be heartbreaking.
I'm honestly surprised it's taking Nintendo this long to release an update. It's been, what, a week and a half already?
Its probably a stupid question, but i really dont understand how we can run homebrew channel, yet you cant run something to install homebrew channel on the menu
(Im really waiting for a more stable HBC so we can finally get the emulators)

Is it still safe to remove the Nintendo-blocking DNS (temporarily)? Want to buy Super Meat Boy and download the Smash Brothers update.
Because right now you are not running any homebrew via the Wii U system menu. That is not what the exploit enables.
You are running the homebrew channel within Mii Maker. Mii Maker has permissions as a game would do...so that's what youre limited to!
The system menu/iosu is a further, deeper level that has its own security. This is just the first step towards exploiting that.
Ok, but this mii maker/HBC allow you to run homebrew programs... like loadiine
Why cant we run a program that install HBC to the home menu? Ita because it would only be able to access the Sd card?

Only IOSU can install things. IOSU runs on a completely different CPU than the main kernel.

Kind of a long shot, but does anyone in here know of any tools to make BFSTM audio files? Ideally something that could convert ADX to BFSTM, but any BFSTM-maker would probably suffice. I want to swap in some music files from older games, and I have tools that can convert either of those formats to WAV, but nothing to make BFSTMs.

Installing anything to the home menu persistently (reboot wise) would require cheating around the authenticity verification system running on a secondary CPU core. The current exploits don't do this, they just first screw up browser into running custom code instead of the browser, then they do the same thing to the actual operating system. This does not, however, allow direct access to Wii U's actual storage media which is protected by aforementioned authenticity verification system. So basically we can't save anything but things we are already supposed to save (i.e. savegames).
By the way, similar things could be said about the Wii which is somewhat similar security wise, with the primary difference being methods got out quickly on how to screw up the verification system.

Answering my own question: You cannot download game updates if you're using the Tubehax DNS. You must change the DNS settings back to Auto to download the update, then back to Manual to block further updates.
I went ahead and downloaded the Smash update ASAP while firmware 5.5.1 is still current.

There are actually various tools to download game updates via pc like NUSGrabberGui or JNUSTool. Just google for them.
Edit: I'm not actually sure they are legal since they require the common key btw.

Judging from the OP, if you can't connect to the internet, then you need to have the Wii U on the same network as a PC that can host all the relevant tools.

This is true, though there is now an app for those with an Android device that turns your device into a hax server.

Finally, got it working... Don't ask, lol.
Anyways I haven't used saviine to extract any save files yet but I have a question: if I'm playing Mon Hun off the sd card and create a save file dose that in any way impact the original save file stored in my WiiU?
Is saviine reliable enough to extract my files without corrupting them, or anything going wrong? Got about 900 hrs in TriU and don't wanna start over yet.
And does anyone have their cheats set up? Is it easy to do?

Yes, it's secure, Saviine just call the save to be stored in ram, it doesn't write anything. But if you want to be even safer backup your MH3U save in a secondary storage device, through Wii U management.
Applying cheats is not so hard once you get how to comunicate your Wii U and PC (as server), develop new cheats is another story 😕

Gotcha, thanks for the reply.
Don't worry, I just downloaded it all over again. It took aroun 45 minutes, which wasn't as bad, really.

I usually just switch the DNS back and update my game software if there's no system update necessary, and then re-apply Tubehax again. I have the fricken address memorized, I've swapped it so much
Yep, that's an inconvenience, but you can setup two connections and switch.
Is there a good guide to show me how to get N64 roms running and without the grey filter? I'd love to play Banjo and Bomberman on the Wii U, but so far I only have Mario Kart 64, Starfox 64 and Super Mario 64 bought through VC. Would it work with any of those, or would I have to use/buy another game? I'm in the EU, so sadly it's mostly PAL for me...
No yet, buy I do know some people that is working on it.
Thanks, actually I followed your instructions that I found in this thread and it worked just fine - just one thing: Where do I adjust the brightness in the game? Also haven't found out how to do this in the GBA roms...
Oh and any other modifications I can adjust in the N64 emulator? Like screen stretching etc? Or can I get the lag out of Mario 64?
I can't believe it! I'm finally playing BK and Bomberman 64 on a Nintendo console again
Edit: Diddy Kong Racing doesn't work, Bowsers Inside Story is full of graphical glitches... It still has ways to go, but this is already fantastic!
I really not looked too much into N64 emulation, sorry if I couldn't be more helpful :cThanks, actually I followed your instructions that I found in this thread and it worked just fine - just one thing: Where do I adjust the brightness in the game?
