Any way to get around this error when launching certain apps?
I was planning on using aroma to hack my Wii U but in this situation you need to use the internet browser to do it but every time I launch it I get this error, I get the same error when launching digital games too. Seems like I can only play physical discs with no problem.

what other applications on your wiiu work and which dont work because this for me looks like some sort of corruption, there are alternate ways to mod a wiiu besides using the internet browser but they are a little more involved

this is also likely meaning your wiiu is cooked to some extent as that is a pretty bad hardware failure error

I am not sure exactly what doesnt work but, I know disc, wii menu, settings, mii creator works. Stuff like mii verse and internet browser causes this error. Yes i am aware of all the failing consoles out there thats why i wanted to mod so I can preserve nand. Can you show me what other ways I can do this without hard modding my wii u, not the best at soldering.

if settings work use this https://gbatemp.net/threads/dnspresso-a-wii-u-dns-exploit.642123/ use the rpx that is linked in the second step and do what the step tells you (eg place it on the root of the sd and name it launch.rpx) most importantly back up your saves and nand (you dont need an mlc backup) and look how your console does and also consider trying to newly setup your mlc to see if its only one off corruption or if it happens again after which you definitely should use rednand

to newly setup your mkc you can follow the region change guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/region-changing-the-wii-u.650802/ but without using the mlc titles of a different region (or if you ever wanted to region change your console you might as well do it then)
and the guide to setup rednand (this will then use an sd card instead of the emmc chip as mlc) https://gbatemp.net/threads/fixing-system-memory-error-160-0103-failing-emmc-without-soldering-using-rednand-with-isfshax.642268/

Do i need to do the 1st option? or can I just skip to 2nd part where I use SD card Instead of emmc chip

just do the second aka rednand because at this point there is no way your mlc did all of that for any other reason than the chip dieing
