The Homebrew Channel is a self-updating homebrew application loader by Team Twiizers which allows users to load homebrew applications without having to run an exploit every time. Once installed, users can access the channel from the Wii System Menu just like any other Wii channel. It can launch or install homebrew applications from an SD or SDHC card or via TCP/USB Gecko using Wiiload. You can install the Homebrew Channel as part of the HackMii Installer by seeing the Installation part of this page.

Installation

See also: Homebrew status

READ THE DISCLAIMER! In the VERY unlikely case that your Wii gets bricked by the installer, this will let you know where you stand in regards to Team Twiizers.

For a less technical procedure, see homebrew setup.

Using the HackMii Installer

The HackMii Installer is most commonly used to install HBC. See the HackMii Installer page for more info.

Using CompatInstaller

In the vWii, CompatInstaller can be run in Wii U mode to install the Homebrew Channel.

Using the ISO installer

This method requires a drivechip and a DVD, and won't work with the 3.3 firmware update or newer. DVD images for more recent releases are currently unavailable, though you can get beta8 and then update. This method is not recommended, due to the requirement of hardware modification that could brick your Wii.

1. Install your drivechip into the Wii hardware.
2. Download the ISO here. Note that the file is actually a .rar, despite being named like a .zip. Be sure to remove the .zip from the end before extracting.
3. Burn the ISO to the DVD.
4. Put the DVD into the game disc slot.
5. Launch 'the homebrew channel installer' on the Disc Channel.
6. The installer should now run. The system will reboot when it is finished, and the homebrew channel should be installed.
7. (Optional) If you are connected to the internet, a dialog should show up when you open the Homebrew Channel asking if you want to update the channel. Press 'Yes' to update to the latest version.

Updating from a previous version

If you have an older version of the Homebrew Channel, you can use the auto update function to install the latest version.

Configuring Applications

In order to make an application appear in the Homebrew Channel, the following steps must be taken:

1. Make a folder on the root of your SD card called 'apps'.
2. In the folder 'apps,' create a folder for the application (for this example, ScummVM will be used).
3. Copy the files for the application into its folder (e.g. apps/scummvm/).
4. Find the executable file (either .elf or .dol) and rename it to boot.elf (or boot.dol if it was a .dol file) if it is not already named that (e.g. apps/scummvm/boot.dol). If the app comes with these files, copy the icon.png and meta.xml files into this folder.

Now the application will appear in the Homebrew Channel. However, if the application did not come with icon.png or meta.xml, its appearance on the menu is ugly, and difficult to distinguish from other applications. To fix this, text and an image can be added. Free solo 123movies.

Adding Text

To add text to an application in the Homebrew Channel, do the following: (note: you may install the Open Shop Channel and download pre-formatted apps without performing this step for every app)

1. Make a file in the folder of the application (e.g. apps/ScummVM/) called 'meta.xml' (e.g. apps/ScummVM/meta.xml).
2. Open 'meta.xml' in Notepad and add the following text as a template:
3. Add the appropriate information in between the relevant indicators. For example, the name of the application goes between and . The purpose of each field is as follows:

An example of a completed 'meta.xml' for ScummVM is provided below:

Optional meta.xml XML nodes

The following nodes must be children of the node.

Additionally supported by The Homebrew Channel (starting with v1.0.7):

FAQ

Q: Is this required to get full hardware access?

A: No, but this is the easiest way. Without this, DVDX, cIOS, or an IOS exploit is needed.

Adding an Icon

See also: Homebrew Channel icons

In order to make icons for the Homebrew Channel show up, they must be in .png format with dimensions of 128x48 pixels. The full alpha channel can be used. Copy it into the folder of the application under the name 'icon.png' (e.g. apps/scummvm/icon.png).

Complete Setup Format

You should have a compatible SD or SDHC card. See here for a list of SD and SDHC cards known to be compatible or incompatible. Note: it is by no means a complete list.

An SD card should be formatted in FAT16 or FAT32. After you have installed the apps on your SD card, its folder structure should look something like this:

• Removable Disk (eg: (E:) on Windows and where it is mounted to on Linux or Mac OS X eg: /media/disk/ )
  • apps
    • ScummVM
      • boot.dol
      • meta.xml(Optional)
      • icon.png(Optional)
    • WiiShopInstaller
      • boot.dol
      • meta.xml(Optional)
      • icon.png(Optional)

If you have any problems having your Applications showing up on the 'HBC', make sure you are following the correct format.

Loading from USB

Apps on your USB storage device are stored like on a SD card.

Controls

You can use to navigate though the app list.

Uninstall

Removing the channel can be done by simply deleting it with the channel management in the System Menu, or with the uninstall button in the HackMii Installer.

Compatibility

The Homebrew Channel requires that your system has at least one unpatched IOS in order to guarantee reliable performance; fail0verflow has received too many bug reports that were later traced to misbehaving versions of IOS. The HackMii Installer will automatically choose an appropriate (unpatched) IOS to use when installing the Homebrew Channel; if you attempt to defeat this safety measure by replacing its IOS with a corrupted version, you may experience an 'impaired HBC experience' (an upside-down screen or a warning message at every startup). Please just don't do it.

Themes

As of 1.0.7, The Homebrew Channel is capable of theming. The images and fonts are stored in a theme.zip, which can be executed like a boot.dol from the Homebrew Channel. To uninstall the theme, just go to system menu -> Data Management -> Save Data -> Wii. The homebrew channel should have its own save data, just delete it and that will remove the theme.

For a theme database and a 'How to install' guide, check this page. It is very easy to install themes with the Open Shop Channel: https://oscwii.org/, get the desktop tool. Once it is installed, change repository to Homebrew Channel Themes.

Further details on this can be found at Hackmii.

Fonts

As for 1.1.0, you can use your own TrueType or OpenType fonts with The Homebrew Channel. You can assign a font, size, and color to individual GUI elements:

Each font can be specified using a element inside the theme.xml file. You can specify the file, size, and color like this:

As you can see, each element can be assigned to one or multiple targets, separated by commas. There can also be a single element with no target attribute that overrides the defaults for the entire theme. The rule is that for each font, each parameter (size, color, font name) gets individually looked up first in a element with the specific target; if it doesn't exist or doesn't have that parameter, it gets looked up in the base element, and if that doesn't exist or doesn't have that parameter, the default is used. You should no longer use the old element (though it is still supported for backwards compatibility).

As an example, the following theme.xml (combined with the appropriate TTF files) sets up the fonts exactly the same way as they are by default, but without actually falling back to the defaults:

Additionally, you can specify that the theme supports certain CKJ languages in its fonts, to enable those translations (though currently only Japanese is supported). Specify the language codes separated by commas as the langs attribute of the main element:

Keep in mind that the button and button_desel fonts should always be different in some way (weight, size, color). Otherwise, you will not be able to tell the currently selected options in the options menu.

Easter Eggs

Pop the Bubbles!

Wad Files Wii

Being able to pop the bubbles in the background of the HBC was a frequent request, and as of 1.0, it is possible.

Press + and the animated background will be the only thing visible, along with a score counter in the bottom right hand corner. Place the hand cursor over any bubble and it will pop, spawning smaller bubbles and adding to the score counter. The smaller bubbles can also be popped. When you are done, press + again to return to the list of applications.If you leave the wii on this screen for too long, it will crash.

Wad Files Wii Download

NOTE: As of version HBC 1.0.5 the Pop the bubbles (with scoring) is removed. You can still pop the bubbles (without scoring) by pointing at the bubbles as usual, but you cannot prompt a score board. You can also remove the SD Card (and/or USB drive) to make more room on the screen.
