The Homebrew Channel Released

[Crash_Override]

I installed the homebrew channel using the twilight hack. The intstaller worked fine. After reboot, I see the homebrew channel but when I execute it, I just get an all black screen. I've tried other sd cards with the same result. (I've created the apps folder and did all of the stuff in the readme)

Anyone else getting this?

I dont have wireless, would that cause this problem?

Have you disconnected all GC memory cards?

More questions:


1) Can this void your warantee? (If my Wii breaks (again) will Nintendo still fix it?)
2) Is there a risk of bricking my Wii? You know, the warning with wad installations.
3) If information is stored on your Wii, can't Nintendo potentially use that same information to ban people from Wiiconnect24? I know people can get banned from XBL but I don't quite know how that works.

Other than that it looks great. I just only have one Wii so I try to tred with caution. I have no doubts this channel is a miracle. Keep up the good work.

Yep, no other memory cards are in the system.

I got it to work. I had to do a Wii system update.

1) You're modifying the system with 3rd party software. Nintendo has every right to tell you know, but unless the homebrew channel actually caused the problem, they might be gracious and fix it.

2) Modifying files on the system always carries this risk. Extremely unlikely, no brick has been reported from this yet, but there's always a possibility.

3) Yes, they can retrieve the ticket info. They could ban you, but it seems unlikely at this point in time.

This Homebrew Channel is effin' brilliant! The only reason I installed it was so I wouldn't have to use my Freeloader anymore (for Okami and Smash Bros), but the region free program included with the channel laughs at me every time I try to use it! After I load it, I see what I'm guessing is the region free menu (somethign about pressing A), but then this evil black screen covered in white text (just random numbers) assaults me! Any idea what could be causing this? I don't have any Cube memory cards in.

i have uploaded a homebrew channel package.

This package includes the homebrew channel and a lot of emulators and applications for use with the channel.

**All applications and emulators have the included icons and description files used by the homebrew channel.**

the emulators and applications included are as follows:

known problems:

wiipaint freezes after you sync the wiimote. (not sure what the problem is or how to fix it.)
some of the tp reboot options cause crash but the reboot wii options work.
other than that i know of no other problems. please let me know of any you find.


copy paste the contents inside Wii SD into the root of your SD card.


**THIS PACKAGE DOES NOT INCLUDE ROMS OR WADS AND I WILL NOT AND CANNOT PROVIDE THEM**

roms for different emulators go in different folders:

Genesis = genplus/roms
Game Gear/Master System = smsplus/roms

It's not hard for any chance, and the read me state it pretty simple. But still, 'll give you a workthrought for it

1.- Format your SDCard on a FAT32 format. It must be a 2Gb or less usb and no SHDC
2.- Install the Twilight Hack used to run simple homebrews (I won't explain this. Google it)
3.- Place the boot.elf file on the root of your recent formated SDCard and place it on your Wii
4.- Your Zelda: Twilight Princess and run the hack as you were running any other homebrew.
5.- This will load the the boot.elf of the homebrew channel installer, reset your wii and woala, your new homebrew channel will be installed and ready to run more homebrew

I would upload a video showing how it's done, but I don't have any good cam to do so, only my $#@!ty 1mb cel cam which only takes like 15 secs of video
