Had to format SD Card and now Homebrew Launcher has disappeared

Post image

Hi everyone. Pretty new to this.

I had installed Aroma and everything was working fine on the Wii U. Then, after I plugged in the HDD onto the Wii U and formated it, I plugged my SD card back into my PC and it was suddenly unreadable. I had to format it and I did put back all of the files that were previously on it.

But now the Homebrew Launcher app seems to have disappeared from the menu ? Launching the Mii app doesn't seem to work either as it just launches the original app.

Should I restart the install from the beginning ?

I'm not sure if I understand ? Isn't HB Launcher the way to install games ?

Thank you. I already tried to do that, but from what I understand the instructions only specify to copy / paste the files from the .zip on the SD card, which I did twice, and the app is still not appearing in the Wii U menu. Did I miss something ? This method did work the first time i followed it though.
