Speaking as someone who had HBC and upgraded to 4.0 the day it came out, no it didn't screw things up. All it did was patch Twilight Hack and now we have BannerBomb instead. The only thing I can recall it doing was if you copied HBC to the SD card you couldn't copy it back, which wasn't a problem as I always ran it off the system.
When I used waninkokos updater for 4.0 it stopped certain homebrew launching. Had to reinstall the HBC manually before it would work again. I'm going from my own experience here.

Huh, interesting. I don't run much homebrew on my system, a few emulators, scummvm, and the installer for bootmii (which apparently doesn't work in boot2 mode with my SD card), but I never had any problems when I updated to 4.0.

Exact same as my experience. Updating didn't affect the Homebrew Channel on my system at all. The only negative is that I can't run copied Virtual Console/Wii Ware games from an SD card. Not a big issue at all.
Does anyone know if the bannerbomb works on a black wii? I am tempted to import, but without the USB loader I would only be able to play Tatsunoko vs Capcom.
Well I can tell you that I went through the softmod thing step by step
read the whole thing, and it was still dangerous process that took me like 2-3 hours to figure out.
Weird stuff happened like file names changing on the Wii, or files on the SD card exist but won't show on the Wii. Plus no one ever tells you what is .wad .cios and all that weird stuff.
Installing homebrew is extra easy because it is well supported. Downgrading , installing backup launcher for the Wii is hell as far as I care and I do not recommend it.
I am trying to run Spartan Total Warrior for a long time, and I tried about everything with my softmodded Wii. Its failure. I lost money on burned CD's more than I would if I bought that game, still won't work right.
I used waninkokos updater cos I didn't trust the official updater. So maybe that's why I had problems.
Kingmohd. I'm pretty sure you're in the minority here. The instructions were very straight forward, the entire process took me an hour max for the first time I did it and that included reading the instructions and then following them slowly (double checking each step). That was exploiting using zelda, install the CIOS, downgrading, and then updating the CIOS for backups and then installing the GC backup launcher. Dead easy.
According to GC Backup Launcher Compatibility List the NTSC-U version of Spartan Total Warrior works on GCBL 0.2. So I don't know why you were having issues unless you weren't using GCBL.
