Homebrewfilter Wii - Gamebrew

The HomebrewFilter is an drop-in replacement for the Homebrew Channel - it allows Homebrew applications to be loaded and sorted, among other more outstanding opportunities.

Compared to the Homebrew Channel, the HomebrewFilter features the following additional functionality:

  • Boot GameCube Homebrew (device:/gc_apps/).
  • Boot into external loaders (Uniiloader, Priiloader, Neek2o, BootMii).
  • Load Homebrew from SD, USB, DVD, SD-Gecko Slot A, SD-Gecko Slot B or All.
  • Load Homebrew from FAT, NTFS or EXT2/3/4 formatted devices.
  • Categorize Homebrew (without the need to change directories).
  • Download additional content directly from within The HomebrewFilter:
    • Fonts.
    • Translations.
    • Themes.
  • On-the-fly updates via network connectivity.
  • Child-lock mode.
  • Screen adjustment options.
  • Edit meta.xml from within the HomebrewFilter.
  • Debugging using USB Gecko, WiFi and SD-Card (SD:/config/HBF/debug.txt).

Installation

Starting with rev42 the HBF comes in 4 flavours:

  • Wii Installer - Installs the fullchannel for Wii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter/).
  • Wii Standalone - Standalone boot.dol with forwarderchannel for Wii (Path: /apps/).
  • vWii Installer - Installs fullchannel for vWii (Path: /apps/).
  • vWii Standalone - Standalone boot.dol with forwarderchannel for vWii (Path: /apps/).

Run the Installer from any Loader. Requirements: HW_AHBPROT access or IOS236.

For the standalone version, install the Forwarder using a WAD Manager and place the app-folder in USB(SD):/apps/.

All versions are updatable via online-update. Don't change paths – will result in non-working updates/forwarders.

Don't install vWii version on Wii and vice versa (channels won't load else).
