This installation does not void your Wii U console's warranty, as it is not a permanent hack. Opening/closing System Settings or turning off the console are acts that reload the kernel, removing the launcher from memory.

−This program works by placing itself in-front of Mii Maker, as Mii Maker is granted SD Card access without any external modification. If you close the launcher, you do not need to re-install it (unless you opened System Settings or rebooted your console), just reopen Mii Maker.

To actually use Mii Maker, press the “Exit” button in Homebrew Launcher after opening it through [[Mii Maker]].

The background music can also be changed, simply place your new music at <code>sd://wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/resources/bgMusic.ogg</code>. It can be in OGG, MP3 or WAV format, but the name of the file must be <code>bgMusic.ogg</code>.

+== Forwarders ==
+There are several forwarders that can be used to skip the browser exploit. For example, when launching the [[Haxchi|Haxchi channel]], a button can be configured to load the Homebrew Launcher instead.
+
+There is also a version of the Homebrew Launcher that can be installed as a channel using [[WUP Installer GX2]], however, this is only useful with [[Haxchi]] or [[CBHC]], since a custom firmware is required to keep these channels, and launching [[Mocha CFW]] otherwise requires the Homebrew Launcher. This version of the Homebrew Launcher does not touch [[Mii Maker]], so that can be used normally.
