Since I like hbl2hbc so much, I made a forwarder channel for it. Many thanks to @FIX94 for making hbl2hbc.

Here is a link to the original app -
https://gbatemp.net/threads/hbl2hbc-v1-1-boot-from-wiiu-hbl-into-vwii-hbc.455673/

Here is the README -
HBL2HBC Forwarder Channel by brienj

Setup:
Put the "WiiU 2 HBC" folder from the archive into the install folder of your SD card. Install the app with the latest wup installer. Requires sig patching of some kind.
The forwarder loads hbl2hbc.elf located at sd:/wiiu/apps/hbl2hbc/hbl2hbc.elf

Instructions:
After install, select the "WiiU 2 HBC" icon on the system menu with your SD card with the hbl2hbc.elf inserted.
Profit!

So, this is just an app for the Wii u menu that when you open it, it automatically starts up the vwii homebrew channel?

His newest version has a config.txt file that you can set what it loads.

Also, you can easily change the icon and splash screen of this forwarder, just change the ones in the meta folder of the forwarder app. Since the default is the HBC, I used those icons.

You set the config to the title id of the usb loader gx fowarder
I can't remember the title ID but you should set it something like
XXXX = USB Loader GX
with XXXX being the fowarder's title id
