I never did that because (I think) CBHC has the newest Haxchi implemented. Don't delete Haxchi though.
Haxchi and CBHC are the same thing!! Just used for two different reasons. YOU DO NOT NEED BOTH...

Haxchi: Temporarily run unsigned code(for those who don't want/have coldboot)
CBHC: Permanently run unsigned code at console start(This is coldboot!)

You do not have to update one(haxchi) to update the other(CBHC)

This has been asked SOOOO many times, all you have to do is read some of the thread, including the very first post by FIX himself and the sticky about Haxchi and CBHC. It never ceases to amaze me the amount (i.e. very little) you guys read about this stuff and just keep asking the same dumb questions! If you can't read I'm amazed you actually got any of this stuff to work because you can't be very bright.

To update haxchi -> re-install haxchi
To update cbhc -> re-install cbhc

Do you need to update haxchi if you have cbhc -> NO.

I think what might confuse people, is if they read the latest update notes on Github, they would assume Haxchi needs to be reinstalled, since it says it has a stability fix on exit. "Changes to CBHC and Haxchi:-made installer more stable on exit"

So why would you need Haxchi first? Thats why I said he shouldn't delete it. Just to be safe.

You don't need it first. It's FIX's recommendation to test haxchi installation works fine before installing cbhc cos if you mess cbhc up you could end up with a brick.

From 1st post:

Please ONLY INSTALL THIS if you already have the normal Haxchi installed and know that it works perfectly, just install it over your existing Haxchi installation, again, DO NOT INSTALL IT from a freshly downloaded, never started/tested game or you may brick. Also ONLY INSTALL THIS IF THE DS VC IS BOUGHT FROM THE ESHOP ON THAT CONSOLE AND ON NAND AND YOU HAVE NO USB CONNECTED WHEN USING THE INSTALLER.

If a new CBHC version comes out you can just run the installer again and let it overwrite the existing CBHC installation, same rules as on the first installation still apply.

Did you read @FIX94 posts?
all installing haxchi first does is verify that the exploit actually works on your system, and since you did that you just need to install cbhc.
You only need haxchi first if you've never installed haxchi or CBHC.
If you have CBHC and you delete Haxchi you delete CBHC lol... it's all the same rom.zip CBHC set's that rom.zip to load on boot as Haxchi just lets you manually boot that rom.zip

First off thank your @FIX94 on all your excellent hard work, Thy deeds have been recorded on the Imperial Scrolls of Honor!!
Also--
I am sure you are sick of stupid questions..... But,... Here's one anyway. try to follow along as I am a dumbass.

So if we can boot straight to VWii can we boot straight to Wiiflow? I think the answer is yes, but not sure.
Since CBHC is booting a title from an XML? (Not Sure) would it be possible to have a program put the sysnand titles in a cache file wiiflow could read
and then on reboot into WiiU mode boot straight into a selected title?
If yes could a wiiflow plugin be made to boot into loadiine with an argument for a loadiine title?
Or even a wiiu retorach plugin that loads a game in retroarchU from wiiflow?
OR Viceversa a loadiine mod that calls up games on the Vwii side that it would boot straight into.
I'm sure there are lots of problems with doing these things but who knows a smart guy like you might already be plotting on something like this.
P.S.
I'm a dreamer

Not actually permanent... it can be removed with just an update

Your missing the meaning of the word as used here... Even a Permanent marker "can be" removed... "think"

And an update may or may not remove it.
Well exostentinally nothing can be permanent as everything can be undone (apart from the past obv) but I think he was just referring to the fact it's not very permanent as it just skips one button press and nothing else, it's not real cold boot like a9lh

I think I got a little too spoiled by Appstore updating my apps for me. Lately they haven't been updating CBHC at all, way too lazy to update manually. Even WITH FTP. Someone smack Wiiubru upside the head and tell em to update their stuff

How do you get back into homebrew launcher after this without rebooting?

Can you remove the haxchi from your emunand? Mocha emunand doesn't really need haxchi inside it right?

If the games are on USB, they use the same save file right? So we don't really need emunand much right now.

What happens if someone runs the don't touch haxchii app afterwards? Any way to prevent certain users from being able to do that? I think this should be protected with parental controls so children clicking on things cant mess anything up.
