A Python script to assist installing Haxchi, a vulnerability contained in all NDS eShop games that allow us to replace content with custom ones. You can install this on your sysnand as long as you have a legit NDS eShop game.

With this script, you only need to choose your game from the list, and it will take care of the rest.

Note: This installer is now obsolete since Haxchi V2.0 is available that you can install it straight from Homebrew Channel.

Instructions:

Place Homebrew Launcher in sd:/wiiu/apps/Homebrew Launcher.
Place CFW Booter in sd:/wiiu/apps.
Boot your Wii U, go to loadiine.ovh, select homebrew launcher.
Load CFW Booter.
On the PC, extract haxchi_installer.zip into a folder.
Double-click haxchi_installer_v1.0.py.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Configuration:

Change the channel name (v1.1.1).

Notes:

You can run this tool multiple times to change different games on the list.
The script offers the option to use custom buttons config or default.
It should run on Linux and OSX.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter a connection error:

Ensure no VPN or modem restrictions are active.
Verify the correct Wii U IP address; the program assists if unsure.
Consider creating a new Wi-Fi network using your phone's data connection.

For other issues:

Check your data settings to confirm whether the game is stored on USB or Internal Memory.

If the icons are correct but the NDS game (Brain Age) starts instead:

This may be due to an outdated version of the NDS game that is no longer functional.
Try deleting it and redownload it from the eShop for a working version.
