When booting the Wii U, a menu will come up, asking what you want to boot, with an option to automatically boot to one of the options. When autoboot is enabled, this menu can still be accessed by holding the HOME button during the booting process.

The DS game you chose during installation gets replaced by a CBHC channel. DO NOT tamper with this channel! It is advised that you move it to an empty screen so it doesn't get deleted by accident. In addition, an extra channel is installed, namely a normal [[Haxchi|Haxchi Channel]]. This channel does not overwrite a DS game, and stays on the [[System Menu]] for as long as CBHC is installed, because CBHC removes the security check that removes unauthorized channels. For more information on the [[Haxchi|Haxchi Channel]], see [[Haxchi]].

==How it works==
 +
CBHC replaces the system configuration to tell the boot process to boot to the CBHC channel instead of the System Menu. This allows it to run and load anything it wants, similar to [https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Priiloader Priiloader] on the Wii. This CBHC channel has the loader seen when booting. Because of this, removing the CBHC channel from the NAND makes it impossible for the Wii U to boot, and therefore bricks it.
