Hello fellow members,

please allow me to apologize profusely should this topic have been already posted.

Recently, I have updated my WiiU from 5.5.1 to 5.5.2 to have Mocha running offline with Brainage. I was unable to purchase Brainage on 5.5.1 because the nintendo store forced me to update to 5.5.2.

When I was on 5.5.1, I followed the guide from Game In Canada to install the homebrew channel on the Virtual Wii (). After the update I launched the homebrew channel and did not find any applications on the sd card. Now, I want to proceed and install the homebrew channel on the Virtual Wii again. Can I follow the steps on clean installing the virtual wii again? Or will this brick my console? What other steps can I follow to have the homebrew channel running on this current configuration?

I look forward to reading your suggestions.

It sounds like you still have HBC but it's just not showing any homebrew? Reinstalling it wouldn't change that.

Thank you. What do I need to do? Reinstall the entire homebrew channel by going through entire steps or just copying a new homebrew channel to the sd card?
