CrisKre said:I have a stupid question. go easy on me, im a noob lol.
so i just installed the homebrew channel. now to run apps i have created an app folder on my sd card. can i rename the different files that will be in that folder? all my apps are named boot.elf
is there a problem if i rename to, say, geckoos.elf and homebrewbrowser.elf?
Yes. The HBC will look for a meta.xml file with descriptions and an icon file, but it will load programs even if they lack those.CrisKre said:schweet! thanks. i can call those folders any name i see fit right?
I just started using HBC yesterday. If you want to make your Wii play any other games from any region use GeckoOS.CrisKre said:hahaha, im on it! thanks a million. what apps do u guys recommend the most?

Jocchan said:Oh my God, I've just installed the Homebrew Channel and I'm browsing a lot of stuff with the HB Browser.
I was blind, but now I see!

If you do:

- FTPii (not really it's slow as hell)
- GeckoOS
- Mplayer
- Quake
- Savegame Extractor/Installer
- SD Explorer
- Wad Manager
- Wii Whiteboard
- ScummVM to play Sam and Max Hit the Road
- NEOpop for Neogeo pocket color, it run like a dream

THIS IS GOOD SHIT!yoopoo said:BootMii from Team Twiizers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oAQ9i4FMeg
The very first working test of BootMii. BootMii takes over the boot process of the Wii and lets you run almost anything (even security code, a backup/restore utility, you name it) from an SD card, before most of the system even starts booting. It is a huge step towards "brickproofing" a Wii, as it will still work even if you thoroughly screw up your filesystem. You could even format it entirely and it would still work.
Here I'm testing it with a small program that modifies the boot code (boot2) to boot into the Homebrew Channel instead of the normal system menu. Pop the SD card in, the Wii boots to HBC. Take it out, it reverts to normal boot. Real handy for coders.
MoogPaul said:Okay boys and girls, with the Mother 3 fan-translation close to done and the fact that I've been staring at a sealed Mother 3 from play-asia for 16 months, some info would be great. What is the state of GBA emulation on the Wii? What is the risk of bricking my Wii? Is it still possible to install Wii Homebrew channel in the most recent firmware (3.3 I think?)?
Rewrite said:Where can I get the Homebrew Browser? I have the majority of the apps already but I seem to be lacking the acclaimed best one!
markatisu said:VisualBoyAdvance works great, I was using it yesterday to play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on the Wii. It took a while to load the game but once it was loaded it played perfectly fine and it was quite amusing playing a GBA game on a 32" HDTV :lol
MoogPaul said:thanks for all the info.
Thank you! <3markatisu said:
angelfly said:Ugh I broke my SD card while sticking it in the system today. Anyone know the largest SD card that will work fine for homebrew? I was looking at this 8Gb card.
markatisu said:I thought the limit was 4gb since the Wii had trouble with higher capacity cards
I am using a 2GB SD Card and still have plenty of room even with Full Throttle dumped onto it for use in ScummVM Wii
George said:im pretty sure its 2gb
anyone? :/jrricky said:Sooooooo..........after reading this last page of this thread, I really want to jump in. Is someone kind enough to help me through the steps?
jrricky said:anyone? :/
HOLY CARP! Much appreciated. And Here I go.......angelfly said:Check post #383
jrricky said:Sooooooo..........after reading this last page of this thread, I really want to jump in. Is someone kind enough to help me through the steps?
What you need:
-SD card
-Zelda TP Wii
-Wii Brew SD Installer http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Brew_SD_Installer
After running SD installer, copy the Zelda save file from SD card to Wii. Run Zelda, talk to the fist guy you see. Done.
Also: I can't get the Homebrew Browser to connect. ): I'm using a USB dongle -- yes the crappy Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Dongle -- dunno if that means anything
speaking about SD, I think now is pretty important to have a fast SD card, I know some cards make the difference, someone knows what is the fastest SD card data transmition available on Wii, and which is the max speed specification that Wii support'
Ah, I got it to work. It was my fault, on my computer, I'd messed with internet connection sharing settings. Works now. Well, for the most part. Homebrew Browser has crashed three times on me. D: But I managed to get everything I needed. Except Quake, which was the last download it crashed on!markatisu said:When you get into the Homebrew Channel you will see a globe in the lower right hand corner, make sure its completely lit, if it is then you should be able to connect. I have had times where I have had to click on it once or twice and get it to re-connect to the net before launching the homebrew browser
I assume you can connect to the Wii Shop Channel right?

Izzat so? Well, I have it regardless. Got the game on Steam forever ago.TunaLover said:hey TOG heh, for Quake you need the original Quake file pak0.pak to play the demo version, or the pak1.pak to play the full version. the Quake folder comes only with the wii.pak iirc.
the structure, ''x'' being the SD root
x:/ID1/config.cfg
.........pak0.pak
.........pak1.pak <---only to play the full version
.........wii.pak
and
x:/apps/quake/boot.dol
.....................icon.png <--- not necessary, just the logo displayed in the HBC
.....................meta.xml <--- not necessary, just info about the game in the HBC
WAT?!yoopoo said:Wii Homebrew Launcher v0.9 http://wiihomebrewlauncher.be.cx/

jrricky said:Ok, someone help me out. Im tryin to install the Homebrew browser, this comes up:
"You have Wii System Menu version 22 installed. The Homebrew Channel has only been tested with Wii System Menu versio 18 and below."
Should I be hesitant and not move on?
