Is OpenMSX even released yet? Or is it just a tease like the Amiga icon?
And how about a Homebrew Launcher Icon?
Its not released but an official statement saying it was imminent made me make the MSX icon ;)Quote:

Basically, (as a lot of people stumbling here to the scene will wonder) the end result for the record...
Can one install the HBC on an unmodded Wii w/o having a copy of Twilight Princess?
As far as I know, you can only run the CD on a moded wii, but using the TP hack will work un-moded. If you have a copy you can bring it over, or if you don't you can rent one from blockbuster or wherever, just make sure you use the right one for the rented copy.
Ok. I do not get this. I have installed VC games and wiiware games using the Twilight Hack, and I have read the install guide that came with the file from hbc.hackmii.com/ and find it very confusing. I have been reading online now, off and on, for the past 2 days and can not find a detailed guide.
I have the Twilight hack on my wii, it shows the little white wiibrew emblem in the data managment settings. I formatted the card to FAT16 and then placed the boot.elf file from the the_homebrew_channel-beta_8.tar file I downloaded in the root directory. The install instructions said to create a folder and name it APPS, and place it in the root. Did that. "place the contents of this distribution in the root directory of that card," is a part of the instructions. I beleive this is what is screwing me up. I have placed each individual folder, didn't work, placed the "the_homebrew_channel-beta_8" folder, not the zip its self in the root directory... etc. in every combination that i try, when the twilight hack starts, I get Error (ret =2). I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.
I even unplugged the GC memory card... nuttin. If any one can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
This is the directory structure for my SD card, I hope the screen shots I took help.
yeah, I did that, even reformatted my card. I think the twilight hack that I am using to install the channel is the problem. It saysQuote:

It keeps trying install wads.
If I add the folder "wad" into the root directory, it goes through the installation process without errors. However, since the WAD folder is empty, it installs nothing.
Can someone explain to me where I went wrong?
NM. I was using a twilight hack that was deisigned exclusively for wad instillations.
So I've seen this asked before, but I'm not too sure about the answer, is this totally safe to use? I thought I heard before that it's a little bit risky... I'd just like to know if I run a risk of getting a bricked Wii.
Its got about the same amount of risk as bricking by installing a VC game.Quote:

I tried to open the file to use on the twilight hack but when I use winrar to open it, it just gives me bunches of letters and symbols! I don't understand that.
hi all. i am having a bizarre problem that i cannot fix.
i tried to update the homebrew channel a couple days ago, and it never finished.
now whenever i go to the browser to look for new games, i get the following message:
v.0.20.b
this is not a valid wii application.
everything else still works fine except this. any help is greatly appreciated!!
also, how do i get permission to start my own threads? i keep trying to find the introduction forum to get my first post, but i cannot find it for the life of me.
Hello,
I have a question regarding the Wii Homebrew Channel. I ran a search before asking this to make sure it hadn't been asked before, and it appears as though it hasn't, but that could be due to my faulty search abilities, :)
Anyways, the question is this: will I get banned from online play if I install this program onto my Wii? I realize there aren't many games on the Wii that have quality online play, but with Monster Hunter 3 on the horizon, I'd rather not get banned.
Thanks for any and all help,
-Celor
Introductions are somewhere in the off topic board...Quote:

Great thanks
So, I have a question...
I recently purchased Super Smash Bros. Brawl for my Wii, only to find out it doesn't play it very well (I have to remove the disk and stick it back in approximately 12-20 times before it finally works...). So, I am assuming I have to send my Wii back to Nintendo. Unfortunately I also wish to add the Homebrew Channel to my Wii, and I wonder if that would impact my repair. Logic tells me, "Yes of course it will, they'll probably void my warranty."
Problem is, if I send my Wii in they'll probably update it, won't they? I haven't updated my console yet to the firmware version that screws the hack. So, what should I do? Is there a way around it...?
:(
Too bad I don't have the zelda game :(!
What gives? I've installed the channel itself without a problem, I also updated it when it asked, no problems with that either...but then it just hangs there...its not freezing, its just that NOTHING happens! No files come up!
I can still press start to bring up the choices, "back", "about", and "exit"...all I can do is exit back to the wii menu.
What am I doing wrong?
Ok...I kept trying, and got it working perfectly!
NES and SNES emulators seem functional. ^_^;
Now just ONE more thing I need to know...I never updated my Wii since one of the updates apparently killed the Twilight hack, now that I have the homebrew channel, I can update it *at least for the time being* without worry, correct?
Yep, and if you update the Twilight hack, you can use that as well.
Alright thanks.
I've got a question on this, which I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to, but I'll ask anyway.
Can you copy a channel (such as Homebrew Channel) to an SD card and place it on another Wii by this means? I would assume no, but since I don't have a second Wii, I have no means by which to try it.
No, you can't place the Homebrew Channel onto another Wii in this manner. It needs to be installed with either the Twilight Hack or disc image. The disc image will only work if the Wii is modified with a drive chip.Quote:

Off the subject abit but im new to all this, right my wii ise set up with gamma back upreader. plays backups ok.
i recently broke a game. went onto a torrent and downloaded an iso image file of the game. burnt it to the dvd with imgburn. put it in the machine, wont play it? whats the way to burn wii games onto dvd easily. cant figure it out?
many thanks if anyone can help.
burn image to disc, select speed or bitsetting if required...Burn and Play, if it doesn't play it's either a crap disc, crap burner, softmod just isn't compat with that game.Quote:

Hmm I'm having trouble with the .iso. My wii just returns an error to eject and power back up.
I tried burning off slower speeds and different programs, I never have issues with image files normally. When I mount the image I cannot explore it either, anyone tried it with the iso installer?
It only just occured to me I have 3.4u version. So this .iso won't work.
I have a wiikey mod also, I don't know if that makes any difference
correct, you don't need to use the disc anyway.Quote:

Would I still need to do the twilight hack and stuff DJ?
With my wiikey, could I just sling the files straight onto an sdcard?
I'm off to buy one tomorrow
yeah you only need a SC card only, don't even need a disc drive :D check bannerbombQuote:
