Want something fixed in HBC Beta 10? Ask NOW!

A report came in from the developers at HackMii recently that gave us a bit of an update on the next release of the Homebrew Channel. If you haven’t been following, Beta 9 was released a while back, but it was released prematurely in order to be compatible with Nintendo’s newest firmware. Where does that leave the state of this project?
As you all know, we’re getting busy with several other projects, and HBC isn’t a priority. However, the beta9 release had a few rough edges, and some things that should have been fixed weren’t.
So we’re giving you the chance to voice your pet peeves about HBC now, and we’ll release a new version soon. Consider this version “final†at least for the time being. HBC is basically feature-complete, so we won’t be adding any new major features, but we want to get rid of some remaining bugs and annoyances. Once this new version is out, you’re going to be stuck with it for a while.
Post a comment if you want something fixed. We reserve the right to fix whatever we want and ignore the rest, but at least we promise we’ll listen. Please read the comments before asking for something; we don’t want 20 people mentioning the same thing.
Guys, NO BIG NEW FEATURES. Don’t even think about integrating other apps, or adding disc loading, or anything like that. We’re talking about small fixes like honoring some setting or adding some minor controller support. Classic controller support is plausible. Fixing some graphical problem is doable. Integrating FTPii isn’t. Sound isn’t. I’m deleting totally implausible posts to keep things sane.
If you guys want your say in the next edition of the Homebrew Channel, follow our source link and post a comment on HackMii.
yeah ever since i updated to HBC 9 it keeps crashin after a while when im downloading things from HBB (homebrew browser) not sure if its your problem or HBB but its really annoying freezes wii and have to hold power to get it back on again…
i wish you could make a fully functional website like internet browser for the wii with mouse and keyboard support. and i wish it could have flash support as well so we can watch videos online instead of just watching boring youtube
it seems you can’t do andvanced folder reading of sdhc cards. I tried using scummvm on an 8GB, and it cannot read any data other than the .dol file (I get the interface, but cannot find any files when trying to select games and skins, etc.) it seems not to find any files anywhere, wonder if anyone else has had that problem. other things seem to run fine, although i also can’t seem to dump to an 8GB with the cIOS dvd dumper.
I’d like it if the HBC would tell me how much space I still have free on my SD card. Small but functional feature.
yeah i 2nd that!
that would be nice
or even support for flash drives
just a thought
and correct me if im wring about that but i dont think it has it yet so yea
