Installer freezes at "Checking NAND sectors..." Fix: Run the Wii System Menu's "Data Management" and delete any unused channels to free up blocks.

Channel appears but gives a black screen when launched. Fix: The installer might have used a bad forwarder. Uninstall (use AnyTitle Deleter) and re-run the installer. Ensure you are on Wii System Menu 4.3.

"Hot" version not detected by Homebrew Channel. Fix: Rename the boot.dol inside the installer folder to boot.dol (all lowercase). Some archiving tools corrupt the case sensitivity. The Community Verdict: Is It Really "Hot"? Scouring forums, the consensus is overwhelmingly positive. User N64Freak82 writes: "I’ve tried every WAD forwarder since 2010. The Not64 Channel Installer Hot is the first one that survived a system update. It just works." Meanwhile, developer emu_kidid (not affiliated, but a known Wii coder) noted: "This solves the fragmentation issue where the emulator would crash if the SD card was fragmented. Smart code."
