The Homebrew Channel Released

[wraggster]

Finally Homebrew comes to the Wii the way it was meant to be and thats without the need for the Zelda Game, heres the release details:

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.

Included in this fantastic release is

GameCube Linux v0.4
ScummVM rev32231
Tetris v1.2a
Wii64 Wii Tiizer Edition - Nintendo 64 Emulator for Wii
Gecko Region Free v1.5

I have only one question, is it safe? For US Consoles?

[commish61]

Does the Wii64 work if you have only a sd card or do you need the gecko, and can you use the twilight hack for the wii to work? Thanks.

Bout time...

[acg12xu]

Does this really include Wii64 without the use of the usbgecko device?

I would try this right now if my roommate wasn't playing gta right now...

[souLLy]

wii64 does indeed load, and yes it's safe for US consoles. Woop woop!

[commish61]

ok do I need just the elf or do I also need the isos caus I dont know what a drivechip is sorry I'm a noob to the wii homebrew scene.

[souLLy]

just the elf, you'll need to load it from zelda using the twilight hack originally

[acg12xu]

I've installed it via Twilight however it just freezes at the loading screen. Anyone else experience this? Or have a remedy?
