+The easiest method of using the Homebrew Launcher is by using a pre-hosted payload (internet connection required), but you will still need to install data to your SD Card. Download the [https://github.com/dimok789/homebrew_launcher/releases/download/v1.2_RC3/homebrew_launcher.v1.2_RC3.zip Homebrew Launcher] from its GitHub page.+ +Alternatively, on a [[5.5.1]] Wii U, without using a computer, you can visit directly [http://wiiubru.com/go wiiubru.com/go] in the browser with an SD card inserted. After starting the link, a menu will pop up where Homebrew Launcher as well as other apps can be installed directly to the SD card.
−
−For consoles that cannot use the Internet Browser, [[BluuBomb]] can be used instead. Browser exploits are recommended, but this is an alternative.
−
−Make sure that your SD Card switch is pointed towards the top of your SD Card (in the 'unlocked' position), and insert it into your computer.
−
−Open the downloaded archive from above, using your favourite archiving program (Windows/Mac/Linux default archivers work). There will be a folder called <code>wiiu</code> which needs to be copied to the root of your SD Card.
−
−That's it. Eject the SD Card from your computer and insert it into your Wii U.
−
−=== Step 2: Kernel Exploit and Installation (must be performed every reboot) ===
−The Wii U's web browser contains numerous exploits that allow code execution. A simple method of installing the Homebrew Launcher without needing to configure an off-line web server is to simply visit a hosted payload sire (e.g. https://wiiuexploit.xyz). Just follow the steps on the website to install the Homebrew Launcher payload on our console.
−
−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 previously placed itself in-front of [[Mii Maker]], as Mii Maker is granted SD Card access without any external modification. On these older versions, 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, users would press the “Exit” button in Homebrew Launcher after opening it through Mii Maker. This was eventually made redundant by some piracy tools, and is no longer done.+

−===Option A: Tiramisu Module===
−Tiramisu include a Module which enables launching the homebrew channel through the Mii Maker
−=== Step 1: Install required files to SD Card (only needs to be done once) ===
−==Option B: Dedicated Channel===
+this option is not recommended because it is prone to crashes and freezes. download both the [https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/homebrew_launcher/releases/tag/v2.1_fix Channel here] and WUP Installer GX2. extract the zips and the copy the files onto the SD card. after turning on the Wii U open WUP Installer GX2 and install the Homebrew Launcher Channel (HBLC)
