Homebrew Channel .07 beta released!

May 24th, 2008

Posted by KrazyWhiteGuy310

Remember that awesome Homebrew Channel video? Well, its RELEASED!

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!

    im not sure what firmware i have i think its 3.1U or E? … anyway the “ugly” homebrew channel works and there is an update waiting for me (from nintendo)… if i get this homebrew channel and update my wii will it get bricked? will big scary nintendo come after me? i dont want to play back up wii games just NES SNES SEGA and etc… the games i grew up on any help would be appreciated

    Just to help the two guys above out…

    - YES, if you want to run backups you need a modchip there is no way around that right now as far as I know, which the Homebrew channel currently doesn’t really support anything like that yet either. (It only runs ELF & DOL files but you need a modchip to run DOLs)

    - Your firmware is unimportant for the Homebrew channel, all you need a authentic copy of Zelda Twilight princess and run the twilight hack with the homebrew channel ELF installer on an SD card to install it. Once it has installed and is on your wii menu you can run around the internet and get emulators and such to run those old school games. The nintendo system update shouldn’t hurt anything but if I were you, i’d hunt around before installing it.

    NOTE: You must have a SD Gecko to run apps from the Homebrew channel, it seems that Front SD card reading isn’t yet available in the .07 beta version.

    Hope this helps, good luck
