The Homebrew Channel

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!

Has anyone else bar me installed The Homebrew Channel?

It's really professionally done, comes with a really good looking Wii Banner!

Right now im using a Snes emulator and it's great. Works in 480p which is a lot nicer on my HDTV than the WiiShop classics that run in 576i instead of 480p.

I can also use ScummmVM on my Wii :woot:

Yeah, and support for WiiMote/Classic and Gamecube.

It saves states to your SD card.

Here is a demo - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6ji2imug_bc

Maybe we could start one up here.

I don't drink alcohol myself, but my fiance does and I make some wicked 40% proof natural cider, 10% stout, 16% wine, 5% lager, 6% bitter.

You could do some podcasts.

Wii64 is the N64 emulator, but it's still a WIP in comparison to how well the Snes emulator works.

I have a pure, virgin Wii. Does this need to be modded with any hardware to allow this to work?

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

^

Having a modded Wii makes things easier, but no it's not required.

All that is required if that you own Zelda Twilight Princess if your Wii isn't modded.

Or I could hire it?

Yeah you only need it for one instance to get the Homebrew Channel installed.

There is an exploit in the game that lets you boot from an SD card.

If anyone could PM me on how this is done, please do.
