What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When running Wii U menu channel on a Wii U, all the code inside the channel does is restart the whole console, and since the first thing the Wii U console does at boot is run the native Wii U OS, this works pretty well and it's efficient. On a real Wii, all it does is bring you back to the home menu again, since it restarted the console. On Dolphin, it gets stuck in a black screen. Ideally, Dolphin should replicate the behaviour a real Wii does

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Start the Wii U menu channel, and then observe the black screen

configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
