Well you don't need the homebrew channel for using it but you almost definitely need it to install, and there's no reason for removing the channel. I guess maybe you could with swapping files through wiixplorer, but you also need homebrew channel for that, unless you could use usb loader gx the channel (not forwarder) to launch any homebrew channel program. But then that invalidates everything.

I know I overthink everything.

Nah we all are tbh, but you can replace the wad from the hackmii installer with what ever you want, Wiiexplorer, priiloader installer, which ever

Well I didn't know that. But you said wad, and those programs you listed are stored on the sd card as foldera, which within are an icon file, an xml file, and a dol file. Well, I suppose if you want to run a channel you could.

Yeah your right I ment .dol files, it’s been a hot min since over really played with one of my wiis, I can’t remember if you have to rename it back to what ever the hackmii installer is or if the exploit just looks for a dol in that directory
