lol thought u were shitting it about ninty banning you!

Use ATD or remove through system menu > channels > erase

o right cool once i remove the homebrew channel is it ok to update the firmware with new games just like i say dont want my mate to brick it lol, also can a mod delete the other topic i posted its the same came out twice cheers!!

 

[KiiWii]

Of course its ok to update.

Its even safe to update with the HBC installed
So if you remove it it will be even safer (but a lot harder getting it on the wii again)

o right i see the only thing i remember installing on my wii was the homebrew channel and the backup lancher dont think i installed any wads only the wad manager boot and custom wad manager just i red around the forums about needing a wad remover but other than that all i have to do just delete the channel then theres no chance of him bricking it.

if you used softmii watch out!, i`d just move the homebrew channel

 

[superJT]

no i have not used anything like that the only wads i have used are the cios_fixIOS16.wad and IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad

Rather than deleting HBC, why don't you just hide it on the very far channel space? like move it to the right right right right. i don't think he will fnd it.
just incase in the future you/he want to use HBC again,

lol yea thats why i said delete it for some reason it posted twice my pc froze for a sec to posted it twice my bad lol

 

[superJT]

last thing so by deleting the channel will he be able to play mario kart online ok any chance of getting banned? its not a backup original game

 

[tj_cool]

yes, he can play it freely
he will not get banned

and its still a rumor you can get banned if you have homebrew
