I assume it's for the paranoid who are waiting to see if the new firmware causes any problems.Threi said:Q. Why do you need that download? Is there something wrong with the newest firmware? Its been running everything fine for me so far...
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Main_Page26 October 08: The Homebrew Channel has been updated to Beta 9, which can be installed with the new update and includes SDHC support.
:lol So we now have irrefutable proof that the SD card slot is SDHC capable? Awesome. Also, shame on you, Nintendo.Jokeropia said:
Well that explains why it wasn't working last night when I tried it.xero273 said:Those that update to new homebrew channel, be careful. GeckoOS does not work with new homebrew channel.
I'm getting the following error: "this is not a valid wii application"
Yell at the author of that application, he uses a non standard base address. Or, if you've updated to beta9, yell at the author of that application, he should be using DOLs, not ELFs. Or tell him to use the new DevkitPPC, whenever that comes out. See the HBC README.txt file for more information.
samratty said:So can I get a quick lowdown please? I haven't got round to getting Twillight Princess, thus my Wii is unhacked, is it safe for me to download the new update needed for shop channel with the expectation that I want to hack the Wii within the next month?
Thanks man.Stumpokapow said:Yes, it is safe.
The update did not break anything related to running homebrew. It did break installing homebrew for use without Twilight Princess. This has since been fixed, and you can install homebrew again.
Fixed with 8 or 9? I have 8 and still have the GCN memory card problem.TunaLover said:I wish they could fix the GCN memory cards thing on HBC, having to extract it is a little annoying. I think they should drop the Gecko support, I doubt someone is using it to run HBC at this point, maybe for development users only.
EDIT nevermind, it was fixed :lol

I just installed it and checked it out right now.xero273 said:beta 9. Change log says they fixed that problem.
Threi said:The new HBC is kind of gimped right now, half of my apps don't work. If you don't want to wait for the next update i suggest you keep the current version until they get .elf files working.
I have the same problem. I actually never looked into it that much because I was only testing to see if the emulators worked for mejrricky said:Why do I have an error when I try to run roms automatically from vba? I have to search for the directory its in just to play it. Plus when I save in the games, I never actually find those game saves for some reason when I want to continue my game.
There doesnt seem to be any walkthroughs of where to set up your folder so the vba could find it easily without any errors. Could someone help me?

Thanks for the input. Ill try to fix it after Im done with some game time with Castlevania. Thanks everyone.Jocchan said:VBA looks for a folder named "vbagx" even though it creates one with a different name while installing (I know, it's stupid, but that's it). Just rename it to vbagx and you'll be fine.

Use Wii Menu Loader.Dash Kappei said:So I can't play my imports anymore?

Is the cheat solution a way into tricking your Wii and TV into playing a game that wouldn't work at all with them? For example a 50 Hz Pal game on a US Wii.Mejilan said:I don't know anything about the app you use.
GeckoOS does support a homebrew cheat solution.

Oh that sounds pretty neat. I'll keep both menu loader and geckoOS then.Mejilan said:No, I mean an Action Replay-like cheat system, only without the $40 price tag and the annoying disc-swapping.
If GeckoOS doesn't feel like loading a shitty licensed-game, I'd consider that a credit to the app.
;p
It's OK. I'm coming to terms with it :|Linkhero1 said:Oh that sounds pretty neat. I'll keep both menu loader and geckoOS then.
Also: I'm sorry viciouskillersquirrel

Notes from the Developer
-Speed could still use some improvement. If anyone can make the code more efficient, knows PPC assembly, or can make it faster in any way, let me know.
-Using Save or state files from older versions may cause this version to CRASH or other strange side effects (no sound)! If you're having problems, delete your old save/state file, and/or turn off auto-load. Save/state files created/loaded with this version work fine.
Patch support is for SD/USB/SMB only. Name the patch file the same as the ROM name (except the extension) and place it in your ROM folder.
