Homebrew Browser v0.1.1

***wraggster*** · June 30th, 2008, 18:09

News/release from teknecal

The Homebrew Browser allows you to grab the latest homebrew applications and games all through your Wii. No longer will you have to take your SD card out to load the files or transfer the files from your computer to the Wii or even use your computer. Once you install a homebrew application and you no longer want it on your SD card, you can delete it as simple as that!

No more dead links, no more extracting files, no more finding out if there is an icon.png and meta.xml in the homebrew application/game!

Features
Auto updating when your Homebrew Browser version is out of date
One click download and install for each homebrew application
One click deletion of homebrew applications
Able to update your version of a homebrew application once an update comes out
Caching of the homebrew application pictures
Limitations
Currently this application is limited to receiving homebrew applications that only use a single file (boot.dol/elf). E.g. Homebrew applications that load images,etc won't be on the Homebrew Browser list.

Usage
Run the included ELF with your favourite method to boot homebrew . Uses the Wiimote Controller with IR.

A SD card icon under the homebrew application image means that you have the latest version of that homebrew application installed, while a clock icon means you don't have the latest version. You can update your installation of that homebrew application or install new homebrew applications by pressing A. You can delete homebrew applications provided that they have a SD card or clock icon by pressing B.

30 June 2008 (v0.1.1)

Fixed issue with requesting files from server (thanks joedj)
Enabled auto updating (press B when asked if you don't want to update)
New logo and HBC icon

Wow now that is a lot of clipping, new camera? Anyway, this app looks like it has promise and its nice that its already been updated within a day. This is like the homebrew downloader on the psp where it would download from the homebrew database and install games for you. Only thing left to fix is getting multi filed apps, games to be able to install.

ya! I can't wait till someone makes it look like another wii menu with the channels and stuff. this is kinda like the wii homebrew shop channel, except everything is free!

This is actually very cool, this could revolutionize homebrew on the Wii, making it the easiest system to install and play homebrew for, even easier than the PSP. It will be like the Wii Homebrew Shop channel, so awesome ^^

Team Twiizer should come out with a special version of the Twilight Hack that also places the homebrew channel and this homebrew browser on the SD card so once you activate the homebrew, you're set.

aww its only got some of the games on it, i guess the emus and stuff are useless on this type of thing. does this connect with the wi-fi or do you need to be connected by a cable?
