Guys, I'm planning to install the Homebrew Launcher Channel on my WiiU + Haxchi + Patched Sysnand ( don't wanna spend money on a 64GB SD Card). Is it safe or, since it is Sysnand, the launcher could brick my WiiU ( of course I would only open it after booting Haxchi)
It's totally safe. Worst case is it doesn't launch.

Should be minimal risk, but if you're planning on installing CBCH however, the risk is higher.

Edit: Dang it XD ninja'd

Hello everybody!

I followed the steps to use Haxchi (Installed Brain Age, ran the browser exploit, opened haxchi, selected the game and installed), but after that, although when I click Brain Age, as if I was going to open the game itself, I can access the homebrew launcher the game icon stayed the same and my FW version have not changed to 9.....

Has anyone experienced the same problem? What did I do wrong? :(

Thank you,

Thank you,
Change your config file to include this command:
"default=sysmenu", you will boot into Haxchi FW automatically with that "command".
Right, and reinstall your Haxchi

Is it ok to run the Haxchi installer from cfw to update it or should I launch the homebrew launcher with no cfw?

Is Haxchi not allowing me to establish a internet connection?

I recently changed routers and I am no longer able to create a connection in setup.
Gives me error: Connection Test Failed Error Code 103-1605
This is with and without password key

No, it's not Haxchi, and if you want to reassure yourself, reboot, but don't start Haxchi. If you don't run it, it's not in memory.
Keep in mind that some users reported that CBHC and Haxchi CFW disables their internet connection.

I thought that happened at the time that it was installed, not some time after, but thanks for making me think about it. This sounds like nothing was affected until settings got changed. It would be good to hear back from @karloz25 if restarting and not launching Haxchi allows the proper setting to take effect. That would put it in Haxchi's court, and might even be reproducible/resolvable.

I am switching my SD card. My SD Card is named BOOT. When I copy everything on my new one, does it matter when I give it an other name than BOOT? Want to make sure that HAXCHI works flawlessly. Or should I rerun the HAXCHI Installer? Can I do that without worry? I have used Big Brain Training. Do I have to uninstall the game first before installing Haxchi again or just let it run over it?

Why even rename in first place.
As long as it's not "Wii U" or "WiiU" it will be detected.

Well, I changed my SD card once, but can´t remeber if I had changed the name or used the same name. Now, that I am changing it again after a long time, I thought of this could maybe be a problem. I also remeber Haxchi working faster. But I could be wrong

Haxchi might sometimes boot up faster or slower, it's just a Wii U thing.
Like it sometimes boots up in 7s, but on next reboot it decides to boot for 15s.
