Homebrew Channel available for Wii U

4.5
User 'dhewg' of the HackMii website has released a new version of the HackMii installer and The HomebrewChannel. Nintendo had previously fixed the loophole that allowed the Wii mod to be installed, but apparently not forever.

“we have a new release with a new version of The Homebrew Channel; this will install on both Wii consoles, and inside the virtual Wii sandbox inside the Wii U. The currently used IOS exploit is courtesy of tueidj. “

“Please note that this is not running in full Wii U mode; running this on a Wii U will probably work just like on a Wii. (See if you can find any differences, we can all try to hack the Wii U together from inside Wii mode!)

Also, due to technical limitations of the virtual Wii mode, BootMii will not work on a Wii U. If we are able to resolve this, we will make a new release with BootMii support.”


Update:Unfortunately some bugs snuck into the v1.1 release, which are now fixed in v1.2:

-PAL 50Hz (576i) video mode now works properly
-BootMii/boot2 can be installed again on newer Wiis
-Icons load again in The Homebrew Channel

Hailey_Jordan The Wii U is kinda pointless!

No it doesn't as the controller doesn't work if your too far away from the console,you need to pretty much be in the same room like a normal controller as it "streams" to the pad.

You're an idiot. Nintendo always brings new ways to play games. I'd rather have new experiences than stupid Call of Duty games every year. Now that games are taking aspects from Call of Duty, it's becoming the same shit. Nintendo always seem to have the best games and system for playing them on.

A Homebrew channel is going to be awesome just like on the regular Wii.

This isn't going to be the deciding point on whether I should buy the Wii U or not, not that big of a deal.
