Homebrew "Wiiu will now start updating"

[fieryhellz]

I turned on the internet to start the homebrew ( I blocked updates/downloads etc) But not through a DNS or proxy etc. So It downloads and now it keeps saying "wiiu will now start updating" so I powered it off to avoid it. Also say if i've installed games already through homebrew and then update will they still work?

Thanks again.

Illegitimate games and DLC such as VC will not boot

It's safe to update, 5.5.2 still works with homebrew.
But if you don't have Haxchi or CBHC I would recommend installing that first (it can still be done after, but the 5.5.2 browser exploit is less stable)

But if I update won't that make the games i've already installed unusable? Also what do you mean by unstable? Does it just not work all the time or something? But that Haxchi sounds way to confusing if im honest.

It only works some of the time. Games will work just as they did before.
Haxchi is easy, you just edit the config file and run the installer from HBL (once you have a legit DS VC game installed, of course)

All games that use illegitimate dlc or VC games won't boot either

What if theres no DLC on the game?

They'll work just as they did before. That is, they require CFW to be ran first to work.

But when I boot my WiiU up normally I don't have to open homebrew before running a game? I might have misunderstood what you just said but if you mean installing the games then yeah ill probably just install everything before the wiiu decides to update(its already downloaded it even though I turned off auto updates) Nintendo have to ruin everything.

He saying if he updates, not about the exploit

Regardless, it works the exact same before and after the update, the only difference is that a different (less stable) browser exploit has to be used.

It's not needed for retail releases. Only for DLC and eShop exclusives.
