HOW TO GET MODS ON THE NEWEST FIRMWARE VERSION

PREREQUISITES

Xampp - https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html

This strange file - https://mega.nz/#!KZpShDJD!tbx_qjYWJ0dudchDmGqFzQrde4x9AA03Lu3g3F_gEgk

STEPS (PC)

1) Install Xampp (I left all the components on and I'd advise you do the same just because it's easier)

2) Extract the strange file

3) Take the two folders from inside the strange file (kernel and sdcafiine) and put them in C:\xampp\htdocs

(so, for example, you'd have blarg.php at C:\xampp\htdocs\kernel\blarg.php)

4) Make sure Skype is not running, and nothing else is using port 80

(if you don't know what "nothing else is using port 80" means, you're probably fine)

5) In the Xampp control panel, click the Start button next to Apache

(if you don't have the Xampp control panel open, search for it in the start menu)

6) Find your internal IP using one of the following methods

WINDOWS

1) From the start menu, search for cmd and open it, this will open a terminal

2) Inside the terminal, type "ipconfig"

3) Find the set of four numbers labelled as "IPv4 Address" and write it down, this is your internal IP

(for example, mine was 192.168.1.64, yours will probably look similar)

MAC

1) Open your System Preferences

2) Click on the Network button

3) Your IP should be listen under the connection status. Write this IP down

(for example, mine was 192.168.1.64, yours will probably look similar)

LINUX

I honestly don't know, but if you're on Linux you probably do.

You now have a local host of everything you need to run mods. Now, you should get whatever you want to load on your SD card. Make sure your SD card is formatted to FAT32!

I WANT YOUR MODPACK!

1) Download the appropriate pack from one of these links:

US - https://mega.nz/#!34VkHDTQ!FHhWB14irkNyvWOR5ovmJHZgRjGkWppJau5i6Ezii6Y

EU - https://mega.nz/#!S1lAmIJa!DEL7vhIpxGDb5BgRYBv1kNIOXYx8FxajKoS1iTkG-r4

JP - None yet. If there's people in this region who really want the mods, message me!

2) Extract the pack from the zip file

3) Place the folder with a lot of numbers in its name at the root of your SD card

(so, for example, if you're from the US, you should have the file "SD:\0005000010144F00\patch\patchlist")

I WANT CUSTOM MUSIC!

1) If you already have my mods downloaded, skip to step 3

2) On the root of your SD card, make a folder with one of the following names, depending on your region:

US - 0005000010144F00

EU - 0005000010145000

JP - 0005000010110E00

3) Inside the folder with all the numbers in its name, make a folder called "sound"

4) Inside the "sound" folder, make a folder called "bgm"

(so, for example, if you're from the US, you should have a folder structure of "SD:\0005000010144F00\sound\bgm")

5) Go to http://www.smashcustommusic.com/ and search for the song you want

6) On the page of the song you want, click "Download or add to template for", then choose "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U"

7) Choose the stage and music slot you want this new song to replace

8) Click "Download NUS3BANK"

9) Place the downloaded NUS3BANK file into the bgm folder on your SD card

10) You can repeat steps 5 through 9 as many times as you want to get as much music replaced as you desire.

I WANT CUSTOM TEXTURES!

This is a slightly more complicated process, so in the interest of getting this tutorial out fast, I'm saving that for a later date.

Now that you have your SD card set up, put it into the Wii U.

STEPS (Wii U)

1) Open the internet browser on the Wii U

2) Open your bookmarks

3) Edit one of the bookmarks (it doesn't matter which one) to look like this:

Name: Kernel

Address: http://<your internal ip from earlier>/kernel/blarg.php

(so, for example, I put in http://192.168.1.64/kernel/blarg.php)

4) Edit one of the other bookmarks to look like this:

Name: SDCafiine

Address: http://<your internal ip from earlier>/sdcafiine/blarg.php

(so, for example, I put in http://192.168.1.64/sdcafiine/blarg.php)

5) Open the bookmark called "Kernel"

6) The screen with go green and an illuminati symbol will appear, wait for the console to return to the home menu

7) Open the internet browser again and click bookmark called "SDCafiine"

8) A coffee cup will appear, press A and wait for the console to return to the home menu again

9) Press home to return to the Wii U menu

10) Boot Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
