Is HBC safe to use on Wii U

[manic.blood]

I've heard that Homebrew Channel runs in vWii mode on the Wii U.
Personally I haven't installed it yet because I fear
Ninty may bring out a System Update and brick my nice new console

Is there any threat and what can we do about it???

[Diminuendo]

I use it and have had no trouble

Please could you tell me how long you ve been using HBC on Wii u
Also is it true that the Wii U System Updates dont touch the vWii mode???
Thanks for the quick reply btw

[Diminuendo]

Nintendo isn't going to brick your Wii U. At most they'll try to delete the Homebrew Channel and block its installation.

I use it too, can't imagine Nintendo will release another system update at this point.

Thanks for the info everyone I better get on with putting HBC on this morn
Will be great to have Mplayer and Wii64 on gamepad
I see its unlikely ninty would release update for wii mode XD

Is there any major benefit of hacking vWii if you have the last gen Wii already fully modded?

I can't think of anything except the use of hdmi and the gamepad as an external display.

In theory the wifi is a little bit faster but in practice it seems to be more unstable (more disconnects). The bluetooth also seems pretty dodgy (wiimotes taking multiple attempts to connect).

[manic.blood]

Too right, tueidj. It's taken us several attempts to connect Wiimotes for SMWorld and vWii mode

Concerning the Wii u future tho I saw a very interesting video claiming that when 3DS needed more sales
Ninty got to building more games for it and encouraged more third party development
I believe same thing will happen with with Wii U, 2014 is to be its year!!
