haha, that's unfortunate that we need to tell them to not touch something called "don't touch me", but that's a reality

Don't touch me, don't open this box, don't enter this room etc are guaranteed ways to get people to do exactly that :P

I burried the 'Don't Touch Me' app inside a folder so it will never be touched. Purely curious, what happens if it is run? I certainly won't be risking it.

The Earth will spin off its axis, it will start raining frogs, or it will simply launch the boot options menu. Nobody is really sure which. Don't try it. You may tear through the very fabric of space and time.

Why not? Just think logically. ;) That title gets autobooted so why couldn't you launch it manually? Feel free to try it, you won't brick, trust me.

That's actually my thinking, but that it says 'DON'T TOUCH ME' and this is an exploit with the potential to brick, I think I will do as I'm told and leave it alone. :)

I honestly wouldn't worry about launching it. It would just crash the Wii U as the Kernel Exploit is already loaded into memory. No brick though*.

*I am not to be held responsible if something happens and your Wii U bricks in the process of fucking with the title labeled "Don't Touch Me" although nothing should happen in theory other than the Wii U being hung

Don't do it! I just tried it. I opened an interdimensional rift which I got sucked into. Upon entering the other dimension I was attacked by a demonic force but I was saved by a security bot. Apparently I've somehow jumped into the body of a police officer named Kay'l. My wife is pretty hot though. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.

It doesn't even do that, it just reboots the console to the CBHC boot menu. Its actually another way of getting to the boot menu if you disabled it.

@C0mm4nd_
You should add that CBHC fully supports out of region games both in disc and digital format.

Also that the CBHC "don't touch me" icon can be safely hidden inside a folder.

Q: I don't want to unplug USB :C
A: You must. If you don't unplug USB(HDD,Pendrive), CBHC will only change system.xml.
Well technically, nah. Just for shits and giggles I decided to uninstall and reinstall CBHC with my USB drive still in. It worked perfectly. I should note that I had it in the back port nearest to the middle of the Wii U.

Now I'm not suggesting people do that, I'm just saying that it's not 100% required to pull out your drive. If someone wants to be a stubborn asshole, then they can risk doing what I did.

For me doesn't worked. Maybe is related to the HDD size? Mine is 1TB

I took the liberty to update your first post.
I added a loooooooot of QA. I probably forgot another looooot of them.
I added Haxchi FAQs too
I made sections.
I edited the thread's title
.... it's stickied ! ;)

I hope that's fine, we better help users as much as we can.
If you add new question, try to put them in the correct section :P

Maybe we would need a Glossary section too.
CFW, CBHC, coldboot, sysNAND, redNAND, etc.
not every users are console's hackers nor following the forum actively.

Maybe we could add Mocha to the FAQ for better covering.
Maybe use a H tag to separate haxchi/CBHC/Mocha.

I think we should add something to explain what is a custom firmware, and what it does that OFW doesn't (mainly sigpatch, region free)

also maybe link to this for more info --> Done. thought, it might need a rewrite, as it was an answer to a specific question, and not a proper help for beginners.

Tomorrow or 23/12 I'll do a check

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
