Homebrew Browser v0.2.0a

[wraggster]

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.

Uh oh, there seems to be some trouble- don't know if it is the software though- sounds like the server so I thought to report in...

After the browser loads, it updated to the latest version (it says 2.0 though I know it updated to 2.0a), and updates the .png files in the temp directory. It says there is an error with the server, retrying, and then it stops after saying there is an issue with open tyrian's .png file.
The browser will not load.

Maybe the server is just overwhelmed by so many people connecting to this otherwise awesome utility?

Sorry about that. I just forgot to upload that image file. This issue should be resolved.

great work!
(perhaps you could add a new order to those games, ect.
not only from A to Z, but how about from your favourite to the "worst" game...)
