The Hackmii Installer has been updated for use on Nintendo's newest console.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/32751
It has been mere weeks since the Wii U launched in United States, and the fellows at Wiibrew have already developed a new version of their Hackmii Installer that allows players to install Homebrew Channel, or HBC for short, onto the new home console.
Currently, the channel will only work in the Wii U's emulated Wii Menu mode, and does not work in Wii U mode.
Homebrew Channel is an application that allows users to boot homemade software on their console, including tools that launch imported games, media players, save file organizers, fan-made games, and emulators for old video game systems.
During the last generation of home consoles, Wii system updates were continually released for the sole purpose of removing any installed versions of the Homebrew Channel and disabling the exploits hackers used to install it onto the system.
More details on this new development can be found here. Needless to say, caution is advised for anyone who wishes to attempt use of this software as it will void warranty of your system and may result in banning from Nintendo's online community.
But hacking the Wii U is more dangerous cuz Nintendo has a stronger online system which makes it so that ur nintendoID cud be banned
Cool. I suppose there's really no reason to own a Wii anymore now that the Wii U can play import Wii games, unless you're just that into those GameCube games Nintendo's going to re-sell anyway over the next few years.But hacking the Wii U is more dangerous cuz Nintendo has a stronger online system which makes it so that ur nintendoID cud be banned
This hack only works in Wii mode, and at this point I don't see Nintendo really caring anymore what people do with Wii mode so long as it doesn't intrude on things they want to do with Wii U software.

But banning Wii U's that are modified (even just in Wii mode) might stop some people from modding their Wii U's at all, which would be the goal for Nintendo.
Will they call it the HomebrU channel instead?I was sorely tempted to use this pun in either my headline or abstract description.
Title is Misleading click bait.
Their is no Wii U Homebrew Channel.
Their is the Wii Homebrew Channel working in Wii Mode on the Wii U.
