Wii Homebrew Launcher Released

[tehnoir]

The last one had a time limit... does this one?

By "last one" I assume you mean the homebrew channel...which this is not.
There is not a time limit on this, but don't confuse yourself. This is also not the same thing (or even similar for that matter) to previously released homebrew with time limits.

This launcher simply uses a Wii channel-esque display to show the various ELFs on your SD.

The WiiBrew page for this launcher contains some good info that might help a few people who are having trouble: http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=H...ebrew_Launcher

They also have a homebrew pack that you can download which contains "8 Wii homebrew apps in the correct format for the launcher (including images)".

Well, it's just that I wanted to use a name longer than 8 characters :P

Create a text file inside your app's folder and rename it title
then write a name for your app inside the text file then exit and save
it can be as long as at least 20 characters from what i've tried out

EDIT you can fit 26 characters max on screen

This is exactly what I needed. One thing though. Is there a way to change the order that the apps are displayed?

Yes first make sure your homebrew folder is empty
if you have any app's folders in there move them out
then move them back in 1 by 1 in the order you want them to appear

I know this inst the place to ask but would it be possible for someone to make a AR gamecube homebrew that works for the Wii? I'd rather not shill out 40 bucks for the Datel one. It would also be an other way to test the water and see if its possible.

Then don't. Post it where it belongs.

I would but they wont allow me to post a new thread you try it and see what I mean.

ok, i am a little worried about trying any homebrew on my wii.

First: is there any risk of damaging or ruining my wii?

Second: after i use the Twilight princess hack can i still play the game after i remove all the home brew files?

Third: if there is a risk of ruining/damaging my wii, what are the chances of that happening?
