The Homebrew Channel is a channel for launching Wii homebrew applications without the need to run the Twilight Hack first. It will list apps stored and organised on an SD card in a nice little GUI, which you can very easily customise with descriptions and shiny little .png icons all by yourself if you want. You can also launch homebrew apps via TCP (with a correctly configured PC) or USB Gecko. Both of those built in options make it extremely convenient for testing out new code, as well as a general purpose homebrew launcher. You've seen the video,
now try it yourself!</div><hr style="border: 1px solid #ACA899;" /></blockquote>

No, that was the homebrewlauncher channel.
This just came out today.
Stop being such a ****.

[_oMeGa_]

So does that mean I can do the twilight hack once and the homebrew channel will be there from that point on, without having to do the twilight hack again?
I want to know because I can't afford a copy of TP, and I was wondering if I could just rent one.

[DaFireStarter]

:pFu3king A! It's about time!

Props to the Homebrew Channel team!

Now if we could only download and install our programs directly from the homebrew channel... :)

yup rent it install HBC and your good to go

[infidelity]

Lets hope they figure out how to get that Wii64 emu working like the one in the Wii itself, so we can play Goldeneye & Perfect Dark!

This homebrew channel is very nice, nice music, nice gfx, I'm very impressed with this!

If your Wii is modded, I'm pretty sure that you don't even have to have TP. They also made an ISO that will install the channel. You should check out their website for more info though.

This is true. Just download the install ISO, and insert it into the wii.

[3picide]

This is true. Just download the install ISO, and insert it into the wii.

That's only if you have a hardmodded Wii that supports burned DVDs..... which I don't see a huge need for this if you already have a chip.

???
hardmodded == chip
I do not follow.

[theindiearmy]

hardmodded meaning it's modded through hardware, such as a chip.

softmodded means it's modded without hardware and through software only, such as the TP hack.

[crypysmoker]

???
hardmodded == chip
I do not follow.

It means that if you bought your Wii from the store, and have not added a mod chip so that it can play burned discs, then the ISO will not work

[Prachanda]

what is the TP exploit and this .ELF file?

[haki]

yes yes yes! been waiting since i first saw it on wiinewz

[Enter_Name_Here]

This is great! The only thing that's stopping me from downloading and trying it is that I want to know if Nintendo can block this channel through a future upgrade or even detect this channel so in a way banning your sytem from net use and stuff like that.

[kungpow12345]

This works great for me but I ran into a possible bug. Note: I haven't installed any "apps" yet according to the Homebrew Channel's setup and I have the Nintendo Channel installed. (I heard from the grapevine that with it installed and running homebrews don't mix?)

When I press the home button on the wiimote, it acts me if I "want to return to the boring system menu" and when I "click" on yes, the screen goes black, almost (on my LCD screen, it shows a shadow of the homebrew channel menu and it just "sticks" there). (Anyone else had this issue yet?)

I'm going to try this again once I get all of my apps converted over to the apps folder and I'm going to try this again. Still, it was a refreshing change to see the real Homebrew channel work ^^.

You say that as if Nintendo has anything worthy of using the net for :p

They don't have any good games with multiplayer, and the ones that do have it, have crappy multiplayer. You don't need the net anymore for the store and VC games cause those have been cracked, so even if you do get banned, the benefits of homebrew heavily outweigh what Nintendo has offered us so far.

[kungpow12345]

Well, I have all of my applications all converted over to the Homebrew Channel's format (icon.png, meta.xml and boot.elf) and when I tried to load it, it didn't read anything from my SD card. This is the same card I've been using for the Twilight Hack, by the way. I dunno what I'm missing....*Hmm...let's read the Homebrew Homepage and see if I see anything that sticks out to me*

*Update* Yep, it helps if you read. UNLOAD any memory cards or SD Gecko cards if your apps don't load.

Once I did that, all of my apps loaded fine and I was even able to go back to the main menu. I guess they did that in the event that eventually all emulators will be able to load roms from the Front SD Card Reader. All and all, it's still cool as hell.

[BladeX]

something is seriously wrong with their rar files. i downloaded the euro iso rar file, extracted when it gets to 50% the extract slows down to a crawl! god damn that took 20 mins to extract! so how do you use wads with this thing now? btw when i click exit and it says go back to boring system menu the wii freezes and i had to get up and hold power button for 10 secs. this was with euro iso file.

Just put the disc in and go to where you would to run a wii game, you should see the homebrew channel install or something like that and click it, then the screen will black out for a bit, mine took about 2 minutes. Then you will see a screen that says some stuff and a small agreement and you hit reset to install or power to shut down. That's it, when it's done it will reboot your wii and the channel will be there. I've done this with the NTSC version today and installed some VC games without using LOZTP. You have to use wad installer to install wad files but you have to use the installer that's made to use with this channel. Make a folder on you SD card root called "wad" and stick all the wads in there that you want, then run Wad Installer and it installs them all.

Not backups, but you can install wii ware and virtual console releases and homebrew that runs off the sd card.

this isnt working for me the channel is installed and the apps are showing up on it. but when i click load it comes up saying loading (appname) but it stays at 0% forever. menu buttons doesnt work and i have to end up holding the power button for 10 secs to turn the wii off! i used the euro iso.

lots of very cool wii channels and break-thrus have been released lately such as

replacing files in a game .iso to turn it into a .wad installer boot disc
.wad installer channel (for installing virtual console and wii-ware games)
.wad uninstaller channel
super nintendo emulator channel
genesis emulator channel
scummvm emulator channel
nintendo emulator channel
pc engine/turbo grafx 16 channel
gameboy color channel

all channels can be installed using the .wad installer channel, or by launching the .wad installer using the homebrew channel.
download channels here: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=86631

I have a chip in my wii and I never used the twilight hack, here is a cut and paste of a tutorial I read from gbatemp:
I made a small tutorial how to make a WAD Installer ISO, which works with the SD Card, so you only need to burn it ones and only have to replace the Wad file on the SD Card
There is no TP Hack required it will work immediately

What do you need:
-A Modchip
-Wad Installer DOL (http://waninkoko.wiinewz.com/WAD-Installer_v1.zip)
-Trucha Signer
-Wad File to install
-SD card
-A DVD burner
-A DVD
-DVD Burning software

The Tutorial:
1.Download the Wad Installer and extract it somewhere
2.Open Trucha Signer and select a game iso(It doesn't matter what)
3.Right Click the Main.Dol of the second partition
4.Click Replace and replace it with the wad-installer.dol
5.Sign the partition and close Trucha Signer
6.Now burn the iso to a DVD
7.Ones the burning has finished you can put the burned dvd in the Wii
8.Now connect you SD Card to your computer
9.And in the root of the SD Card place the wad file and rename it to title.wad
10.Now you can start the DVD and the WAD Installer will boot up
11.Press 1+2 or the Red Sync button
12.Ones it says the wiimote is connected press A
13.The Wad Installer will now install the WAD file to the wii system this will take a minute
14.When it's finished it will automaticly reboot the wii and the Channel should be there

Doubtfull. Starlett restricts the acess to the DVD-drive. Somebody could write a custom IOS (starletts operating system) but that's extremely risky and even with it it's not sure if the DVD-drive is patchable through software.
Another method would be a HDD-loader, but the current IOS just supports USB 1.1, which is to slow and it's not sure if the Wii would support 2.0 hardware-wise, hence it's unsure if a custom IOS would help...

I put all the wads into a wad directory on the root of the sd card.

well since the 360 doesnt actually use a chip there's really nothing to stop microcrap from wiping it out every time they release a firmware update which is often forcing you to flash your drive again and again and again. thats why homebrew isn't happening on the 360. until you guys get an actual mod chip it aint gonna happen.

"microcrap" hasnt flashed 1 persons 360 drive EVER let alone over and over. homebrew is very possible on old "kernals/dash" and some things exist already just not publicly cause there are other hurdles to jump....... so THATS WHY homebrew isnt happening and as it stands now NO a modchips wont be needed to do so. just a old 360.....

[djkatarat]

I thought tha point of this channel was so u didnt need to use the Twilight Princess hack cauZe i aint got that game.

the point of this channel, is so that u dont have to keep using the twilight hack.

just either use the hack once to install the channel (borrow the game from a real nintendo gamer/fan) or if u have a modded wii, install it using the iso.

then u dont need to use the hack anymore, just copy things to sd card, load up the channel, and its good. no more twilight hack needed.

[anonymous666]

Initially, homebrews can only be launched using twilight hack

Unmodded Wiis can use retail Twilight disc
Modded Wiis can use both retail & backup Twilight disc

homebrew .elf files are triggered using the Twilight exploit

Users use the Twilight hack to install .wads (wad installer itself is an .elf) or launch .elf .dol files etc

Then comes Homebrew Channel. Once installed, this channel can be used to launch .elf without needing the Twilight disc anymore. Same as above, installation of Homebrew Channel needs Twilight disc in earlier stage but now for modded wii, they have a custom .iso to install the channel. They also provide .elf to install the channel for people who has the Twilight disc but doesnt want to burn another disc.

[BladeX]

just put the wad installer on your sd card and wads, load up the channel and click install easy no more useless TP hack! once again it proves it's worth getting a mod chip.

[infidelity]

once again just wanted to say how great this homebrew channel is. I threw the wad installer inside the apps folder, and kept the "wad" folder on the root of my sd card. Went into the homebrew channel, found the wad installer, and bam! it installed the wads I had in the folder! This is so unbelievable! Thanks again for this great channel!

Had the same thing happen, the answer is simple. You need to put apps on an SD card with proper folder structure. I don't know how/if this would work any other way. I have an unmodded Wii and I used the twilight hack to install Homebrew Channel.

Before you run Homebrew Channel (after installing), you have to have the SD card inserted with the folder "apps" in the root. Then you put each app in a subfolder in the apps folder, and make sure the ELF or DOL file is renamed to boot.elf or boot.dol. Some apps have both versions, I just renamed the elf and they worked fine.

You can put the wad installer program in the apps directory, again making sure to put the files in a subfolder and rename the elf to boot.elf. Now you just need a folder called "wad" in the root of the SD card, and put the WAD files you want in there.

So your SD card should look like this in the root folder (after HC was installed of course)

apps <folder>
wad <folder>

and inside the apps folder:

app1 <folder>
app2 <folder>
...and so on.

Now when you run Homebrew Channel the list of apps should appear on the screen. When you run the wad installer, it's going to install everything you put in the wad folder on your card. Have fun. We're rocking Mario Kart 64 over here.

Here's a thought that I'm having about the N64 emulator in the Wii.

I feel that one day, we will be able to create our own .WAD versions of N64 games to coexist with the built in N64 emualtor in the Wii. Granted we wont have the fancy operation guides that come with the official VC games. This is exactly what happend to the PSP. I feel that this can happen someday for the Wii. Perfect N64 emulation. I just have 1 more thing to say that goes along with my thought. "Goldeneye" :)

i dunno why they didn't use 1 of the good working n64 emu and convert it like 1964 and project64 at least they could play any game! the way the progress is with wii64 now i doubt it will ever be ready.

Mame is already on the wii!! :D[/QUOTE]

WHAT!! Yesssssss. Where do you get that from and does it work ok??

1) Can you install GCOS using this channel

2) is it possible to give this channel to somebody else by copying the channel on a SD card and uploading the channel on another Wii

I've just tried this myself, and it looks very promising! + must mention it is very professional too, good work!

Guys, I can't even install the homebrew channel yet. Is there any step by step instructions anywhere? From my understanding, if you have a chip then you need not go through all the Twilight hack stuff. I have a wiikey in my system. I downloaded the USA version from the hbc.hackmii site, burned the file onto a dvdr. I suppose you just pop it in your wii? Nothing happens for me, the will can't read my dvd-r. I've been able to back-up my games perfectly, so I know it's not the media.

Am I missing a step? Is there something I don't understand? The only thing I can think of is the .iso files are corrupted. Once it's downloaded and extracted, it becomes 1.46gb, but if I right click to view property... the extension is unknown. It doesn't show as an iso.

Can anybody point this noob to the right direction?

if you upated your wii to the latest firware it stops the discs from working. you need to go get gecko-region free and use it on the disc 1st to use it. can't remember where to get it do a search.
