My cursor barely responds. It seems to only respond to rotational movements of the wiimote. What can I do to resolve this?

:If you are using a Nyko wireless nunchuck, try using the homebrew channel without the Nyko wireless receiver attached to the bottom of the wiimote.

I got a problem with the remote cursor( the hand)... when I'm on the wii menu its fine but as soon as I enter the HBC it gets upsidedown and the controls are inverted.

=== Wiimote will not work in the Homebrew Channel if Nyko's Wireless Nunchuck is plugged in. ===

I purchased Nyko's Wireless Nunchuck for my Wii today. I plugged it in and fired up my Wii to play a game, but when the Homebrew channel loaded the Hand Icon would not display and if I unplugged it, it functioned normally. But when I plug it back in the hand icon either freezes completely or moves oddly when you move the Wiimote.

== 3rd party Nyko Classic Controllers (wireless and wired) don't function inside of the Homebrew Channel ==

=== 3rd party Nyko Classic Controllers (wireless and wired) don't function inside of the Homebrew Channel ===

The Wireless Wing classic-style Wii controller manufactured by [http://www.nyko.com/nyko/products/?i=145 Nyko] does not function inside of the Homebrew Channel or inside any applications that support the Classic Controller launched from within the Channel. The controller functions properly in the Wii System Menu, but when the Homebrew Channel is launched, the LED on the base that attaches to the Wiimote shuts off and the controller loses sync. Nothing brings it back except exiting the Homebrew channel and returning the System Menu.

In addition to the wireless receiver base shutting off in HBC, the wired version of the Wing by Nyko does not work within HBC. After plugging in a wired Wing, HBC and apps launched from within HBC act as if there are no controller extensions plugged into the Wiimote, even when the wired Wing is unplugged and replaced with an official Nintendo controller extension.

==WiiLoad Issues==

===WiiLoad Issues===

When I use WiiLoad, it fails to transfer the file properly about 80% of the time.  The progress bar goes up normally to some random point and then stops.  Next the Wii shows the failed to receive file dialog box.  WiiLoad says failure and "No Error".  I've never seen any other network issues with my setup.  The file that I'm transferring is about 8 Mega-bytes.

==HomeBrew Channel stalling in loading apps==

===HomeBrew Channel stalling in loading apps===

To start out, I have a Wii updated with the latest firmware and it is not chipped. I've rarely experienced problems when loading HBC as everything seems to run smoothly. It has froze on me once only the first night I installed it which was a while ago, though all is fine now. I've encountered a problem the other night however; I've noticed upon HBC loading my SD card and its apps that I was free to choose anything as normal, though when I clicked on the Genesis emulator, HBC decided to take its own actions into play. I have not yet chose to Load or Cancel the application from the HBC interface. You know when you get the dim screen in the background when you choose an app or are reading a description?, I had gotten the dim screen (all while the background was still in motion. The bubbles, etc) and no menu whatsoever as well as the cursor having disappeared. My apps were still shown in the background but there was nothing left for me to do except power off my Wii. It only happened once. I will further notify of any other glitches/bugs/things that should arise.

===Network problem - Network Not Initialized===

I installed HBC on my 3.2J Wii using the iso method (I have a modchip) and connect it to my home network but i disconnect the internet from it on purpose (I don't understand japanese so I'm afraid I'll update my wii by accident). Im trying to use wiiload but HBC just says: "network not initialized". I tried addind my wii's BSSID to my routers MAC filter but with no luck. also i have nothing plugged in to my wii.  26 August 2008

This happens when running homebrew and returning to the launcher (which I why I presume its a problem with the channel and not my wii or WiFi).

Not really a bug, but particularly for development it would be quite handy to have a more convenient way of sending an application's data files over the USB gecko or wifi.  This could be either something like ftpii built into the homebrew channel itself, or allowing wiiload to send whole directories.  --[[User:Bigzoid|Bigzoid]] 15:15, 11 July 2008 (CEST)

===Strange sound when i press exit on the homebrew channel===

When i exit from the homebrew channel, the system menu and the games sound like they have interference, this only happens if i use the option exit on the HBC, if i execute another app (like snes9x) and i reboot the wii from there, this doesn´t happen

:I can confirm that this happens, exiting the Homebrew Channel on my NTSC 3.3U unmodded Wii produces slightly distorted sound on the Wii Menu and other channels/games that are run after. This bug does not happen if the system menu is returned to directly from other homebrew.  The distorted sound seems to fix itself when I power off and turn back on the Wii.  [[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]] 14:57, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

=== HBC doesn't read my SD Card/it's content ===

I installed the latest version (beta9) of HBC on my Wii but when I insert a SD card with the neccessary files in /apps/whateverfolder/ the HBC doesn't show it. It only says at the beginning "Load SD" then it disappears and the Icon for Internet Connection starts blinking. I have no Gamceube things like memcards in my Wii nor GeckoSD-Adapters.

== HBC Doesn't Power Off Completely (when Standby Connect Enabled) ==

=== HBC Doesn't Power Off Completely (when Standby Connect Enabled) ===

From what I can tell, when using the Power Button in the HBC, the Wii seems to turn off, but it doesn't turn off the video component, which is still outputting a black screen. I have a VCR that normally switches to a blue screen when the Wii powers off, and it stays on the black screen. I can even unplug the wii video cable, which causes the VCR to produce the blue screen again, and then plug the video cable back into the Wii, which switches into the black screen.

Nope, the bug is still there. Powering off from the Homebrew Channel with wiiConnect24 Standby connect enabled is still leaving the Wii outputting a black screen while it is in standby. I've noticed that when the Wii powers back on, it turns off the video for a split second, probably due to its startup sequence. --[[User:Thegamefreak0134|Thegamefreak0134]] 07:10, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
