yeah, u can make hbl boot by default with haxchi. I think u can with cbhc as well, either that or its mod. also, for games, you can use loadiine. it might be slow with some games, but it should make it look like you're playing mii maker.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


in the config.txt, where it says default= type:

default="location/directory of the homebrew launcher on your sd card including the .elf" I don't know if that makes sense, but it's easy to do and u'll understand once u see it.

u don't want to go to the hbl? press home while it says autobooting to choose another default option like sysmenu. that's how I have mine setup.

I'm having a problem with Haxchi after I load the channel where it hangs forever at that white screen with the WiiU logo in the lower right of the screen.

It was working fine before and the last thing I recall was Retroarch crashing and having to restart my WiiU. Can somebody help?

I apologize, but there are so many videos and methods here and on YouTube I don't even know where to start or which is right or wrong, etc...
All I need to know is how to safely (without bricking or breaking) install the HomeBrew channel so I can then go in and install Nintendont.
If there is an updated list or file somewhere that has all the updated information to use and download, please let me know. Thank you!

Hey, retarded question, I put the files for the browser exploit on my SD card, loaded homebrew through loadiine, and got to the channel. But it stays on the blue bubbly screen without anything showing up. What did I do wrong? (I'm using launcher 1.4)

Yes, I ask because no system is perfect and I know that they could find another hole in the Wii U to run the exploit! But I'd like to know how long it might take

Hi Folks, Anyone know how to sort the order of apps on the Homebrew launcher? I've tried modifying the meta data with no joy...
I just want to have SDCaffine on the first page for quick access to Smash Bros. mods. Thanks

The order that apps show up in HBL is determined by the order of the folders in "wiiu/apps", so for example renaming "sdcafiine" to "_sdcafiine" would make it show up in HBL as the first app.

I have a quick question about HBL and 5.2.2. My WiiU auto updated without me knowing, - things generally seemed okay at the start and they do9 so now.
I tried to install the channel version of this; https://github.com/dimok789/homebrew_launcher/issues/28
I should have uninstalled the previous version of HBL before updating this, but I was stupid.
The program did not correctly install using wupinstaller-mod y

Now Haxchi obviously runs fine and I can boot into HBC when I hold the shortcut commands when launching haxchi.
Running the HB launcher channel now crashes, likely the caching issue described in my link.
I have tried uninstalling HBL in the system menu through settings and delete data, and I apparently have - but the icon is still present on my home menu next to haxchi.
There is also a "???" file of 5000kb inside this area too.

My question is this; how may I uninstall HBL fully?
I don't want to uninstall Haxchi or cfw Mocha, - just the channel that's having issues launching so I may reinstall the wup for the HBL version that has pro-controller support.
Thank you,

Question, my SD card stopped being read in windows, so I formatted it and put all the folders back like I had before but now my HBC (Channel Version) looks like this:

See all those red X's? Whenever I tap on something to download it goes back to the HBC home screen.

I have CBHC running and my version says 99.99.99U

Firstly, this is the Homebrew App Store (HBAS), not the Homebrew Launcher (HBL) or the Homebrew Channel (HBC).

I had this issue before, the underlying problem is definitely a problem with accessing the SD card. Did you use HBL to load HBAS or did you load HBAS straight from the web browser?

The problem I was having was that my SD card was called 'WIIU' which for some reason conflicted with the folder 'wiiu' on the rot of the SD card, causing major issues like this. I fixed it by formatting my SD card with the name 'WIIUHAXX' instead.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
