Vwii Homebrew Channel Cannot See Apps

[Dirkat]

I tried to find a megathread for vwii Homebrew Channel, but I didn't find one.

I can't see any apps when I go into VWII and open up the Homebrew Channel. It displays the background of Vwii Homebrew Channel, but no apps.

- I am using the latest version of Tiramisu.
- The apps are in the apps folder in the root of the SD card. root/apps/nintendon't
- Each app has the boot.dol and the meta.xml.
- The SD Card is formatted to Fat32.
- the SD card is NOT locked.
- I am using Vwii to open the Homebrew channel.

I would like to be able to use Vwii apps because I can't find a wad manager for the WIIU Homebrew Launcher. I can only find a Wad manager for the VWII Homebrew Channel.

I am using Vwii to open the Homebrew Channel.

Let me know if you have any ideas for what the problem could be. I don't know how the Homebrew Channel got onto my console. It is just there. Thanks.

Perhaps your HBC is configured for usb apps instead of sdcard. iirc you have to press the 1 button to configure the location and change it to sd

I just checked on this and it is set to SD. Setting it to USB and back to SD didn't change it.

I also just reinstalled vWii following method 1 on this guide with no change.

UPDATE: I reformatted the SD card and now it can see apps! I don't know why this worked since it was already formatted correctly.
