if it's set up for sysMenu, that's what it will do by default.

hit the home button while it's on the black haxchi screen, you'll get menu choices. what it's doing is patching your sys menu to run forged tickets which is normal.

Home button is for CBHC, not haxchi.
Haxchi menu is managed with a configuration file where the user link a button to a homebrew path on the SD card.

get haxchi installer, extract to your SD card.
look in sd:/haxchi/ folder, edit the text file, and set the button to what you want.
then, reinstall haxchi to write the config into your console's memory.


if you want homebrew launcher by default, :

default=wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf
a=sysmenu

if you want to automatically patch your system to CFW instead of launching HBL, swap "default" and "A" values.

Edit: Only swap the button name! don't copypaste, or delete the "fw.img" line.
I'm sorry for the mistake I wrote in this message and the brick I could cause.
I wrote "sd:/wiiu/" instead of just "wiiu/". Thank you to Flump for telling me and preventing more user's issues.


When you launch haxchi, press (and keep pressed) a button matching your configuration file.
if you press "A", it will launch the homebrew or the choice linked to line "a" in the config file.
"sysmenu" is CFW.
