Homebrew Browser

The Homebrew Browser allows you to download the latest homebrew applications and games all through your Wii. You don't need to take your SD card out. You don't even need a computer! You can also delete homebrew you no longer want.

No more dead links, no more extracting files, no more finding out that the homebrew application doesn't include an icon.png and meta.xml in the zip file!

Have a useful application that isn't in HBB? Request it be added.

Check out the up to date blog with development progress at www.codemii.com. Add hbb@codemii.com to the Wii address book to get updates sent to your Wii.

Have a look at the most popular applications downloaded with the Homebrew Browser

Features

  • One click download/(un)install/update for each homebrew application
  • Auto updating when your Homebrew Browser version is out of date

How to Install

Copy the homebrew_browser folder to the /apps folder on your SD card. Ensure that the little write lock switch on your SD card is off. Launch via the Homebrew Channel.

Usage

  1. If you are using the Homebrew Channel then extract the homebrew_browser directory from the archive in your apps directory in the root of your SD card.
  2. Launch Homebrew Browser from Homebrew Channel and your Wii must be connected to the Internet.
  3. Uses the Wiimote with IR to choose your favorite homebrew application.
    1. Green Tick - You have the latest version of that homebrew application installed.
    2. Yellow Tick - You don't have the latest version of that homebrew application installed.
How it works
  1. The Homebrew Browser (HBB) contacts the main server to receive a list of current homebrew applications. The list includes the application names, image file sizes, boot file sizes and whether it is a dol or elf file, as well as the names of any other required files.
  2. HBB checks to see if the user has the latest image files (stored in /temp) for all homebrew listed. If the image is out of date or missing, it downloads the image file.
  3. Once in HBB and when selecting a game to install, it downloads the zip file and downloads the icon.png if needed from the server. It then extracts the zip file and deletes the zip file.

If it says its "not a valid wii application ", then you'll need to downgrade your wii.
