So yeah, I'm trying to install the latest HBC through the built-in updater, and it's just...completely frozen on the installation screen. Just says "checking system...". It's been like this for like, five or six minutes now. Any idea why this is happening/how to fix it? Is it safe to just power off my Wii and try again?

Did you run the old HBC installer or the HackMii installer? And have you tried unplugging your Wii for 10 minutes and then starting it up?

I ran the automatic updater when HBC popped up and asked me if I wanted to update.

I did figure out how to fix it, in case this happens to anyone else.

I started the Wii in "safe mode" or whatever it's call, but holding down plus and minus while booting the Wii. Then I went back into the Homebrew Channel and retried the update. It worked, and now my Wii is working again.

    For me if you want to emulate the DS the best option is on Android, use DraStic and a controller that holds your phone... it's clunky but it works insanely well. The next best option in my opinion is using a New 3DS XL, not really emulation but hacked it works really well.

    As about DS, it's from the few consoles I prefer playing on the actual hardware, especially because of the consoles' hardware that make it not so practical to emulate (double screens, touch countrols etc). Besides DS and is cheap and flashcards are cheap as hell. Or you can buy a 3DS and mod it so you can play DS games too (since 3DS officially has back compatibility with DS games

    )

    @Dark_Raven1997 I'd say start from scratch, but make sure you disable Windows Defender and keep the window to it open, or it will re-activate itself and delete apps.
