Materials Needed
- A hacked Wii U
- A compatible SD Card
- A computer/phone/device with an SD Card slot and/or a USB storage port
- An internet connection
- Optionally, a compatible USB storage device.
Installation
- Download the HBAS for Wii U (
wiiu-extracttosd.zip).- If you would like, save it to the storage device you are using for your Wii U.
- Extract the file that you previously downloaded. Copy the "wiiu" folder to your storage device, allowing it to merge files.[1]
Customization
Upon first boot of the HBAS, it's going to play the song Slimers by (T-T)b as background music. If you would like to be 𝓯𝓪𝓷𝓬𝔂, then you can customize your experience via modifying the background.mp3 file in the /wiiu/apps/appstore/ folder on your storage device.[2] If this folder doesn't exist, it is automatically created upon first boot of HBAS.
The file repository URL(s) can also be changed by modifying /wiiu/apps/appstore/.get/repos.json on your storage device to point the app to a different libget repository in the event that the original repositories go offline.[3]
