I am having an issue loading the homebrew channel via DS game with a Sandisk 64GB SD Card. I try loading the channel and Once it loads I get this -4 or -5 appearing on the top left of the wii u gamepad. Any suggestions ? I try using a PNY 16GB SD Card and it works just fine.

Found a strange bug and don't know what to do to make all work...
i have 2 vc titles.
Installed CHBC on first and haxchi on second.
Take padcon.elf (https://github.com/Maschell/function-patcher-example/tree/padcon).
Start WiiU with CBHC and load system menu, then start homebrewlauncher from second vc title (where is haxchi installed).
After that launch padcon.elf and it transfer me to system menu.
When i push R3 - its working.
But if i start second vc with haxchi (hbl or any other homebrew) - it freezes with blackscreen after bootscreen.

So your launching haxchi a second time after padcon.elf from hbl? After launching haxchi the first time you need to load miimaker the second time to return to hbl. If I understand you correct. You can't go back to hbl through any entry point a second time you need to run miimaker.

Probably, but i have same problem after coldboot sigpatches and launching padcon without haxchi too...
Coldboot - autoload padcon - main menu - haxchi - black screen.

ok why the fuck do people think that is more "clean" to not show those 2 seconds of text I dont get it, the music would still abruptly stop, it would still turn black abruptly, it would still change the music and show the wiiu menu logo all of the sudden and on top of that you loose the ability to easly cancel autoboot, which you can only cancel once the on-screen text shows up; pressing for example the sync button on the console itself before that text shows up would lock the button out and it would never be registered so you would entirely loose that option and would HAVE TO RELY ON A CONTROLLER which sounds like a terrible idea, on top of that removing that small menu all together is a really stupid idea, imagine if you suddenly cant just boot into system menu anymore because it would instantly trigger an update or something so its important to have as many backup options as possible especially with something like this that could BRICK YOUR CONSOLE in a situation like that, do you guys really think I do all of this for no reason at all or something? seriously... I always try to make it safe and simple for people to use and I personally very much think this fulfills all of that.

This function itself just helped me realize i had cbhc 1.5 when 1.6 was available.

I think your default setup is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us, it's very awesome of you and very telling that you'll explain why this is the best option too.

Coldboot - autoload padcon - main menu - haxchi - black screen.

I can confirm that! Autobooting Padcon makes using haxchi impossible. But for me using the HBL channel Version works.
Perhaps there is something in the padcon elf which uses the exploit, so that you can't Launch it a second time?!?

I appreciate all your work you have done. I'm fine with the looks of it. Some people aren't content with what they have and think that the grass is always greener on the other side

haxchi relies on all functions having the same outcome as well as the stack pointer being the same on every launch, this can be easly messed up by any app that modifies the launch code to launch itself and I bet padcon does that as well.

Your cbhc menu and main.c/global.h files are a mess, that maybe the cause of it all also I have had a pre-look at your upload from your master folder from "your" thread and tbh that's a mess as well so good/bad luck to you I mean because lets face facts, how is anyone supposed to help you out when you cant even compile it yourself but of course I'm completely forgetting, your the man!!!, you know best you have been compiling this project all on your own from day 1, we should all see a fix to it very soon! :lol:

Edit: just thought I should let you know, Padcon works perfectly on my wiiu! ;)

Okay, so PadCon's Launch Code would need to be modified in order to get it working alongside haxchi, right?? I don't know if this could be done; as I understood PadCon is merely a "simple" Function Patch to map clicking the right analog to turn the Gamepad Screen off, so I guess it would be possible?!?

Perhaps you could integrate that function hook as an additional option in CBHC menu, so that the PadCon standalone app wouldn't need to be loaded at all after sigpatching??
Otherwise perhaps @Maschell who wrote the standalone PadCon app could take a look at it??

To the post you got quoted... Thats pretty low... Why even create something like that... ****...
the original post was a Mod to CBHC. and the name was something like Wii-U-Bricker. i'm not taking about the OP CBHC program. I love the original.
