Wie funktioniert es
- Der Homebrew Browser (HBB) kontaktier den Hauptserver um eine Liste von aktuellen Homebrew Anwendungen zu empfangen. Diese Liste beinhaltet den Namen die Bildergröße die Bootdatei größe und ob es eine dol oder elf Datei ist, als auch den Namen und alle anderen nötigen Datein.
- HBB checkt ob der Anwender die aktuellsten Bilddatein hat (gespeicher in /temp) für die Liste. Wenn ein Bild nicht mehr aktuell ist oder nicht vorhanden ist, wird es in den img/ Ordner downgeloaded.
- Wenn man ein Spiel installiert wird die zip Datei downgeloadet, in den richtigen Ordner extrahiert und dann wieder gelöscht.
Notizen für Homebrewentwickler
How icons for HBB are selected
If there is no icon.png file in a homebrew application then an icon is included if one can be found.
If there is no name on the icon and if the picture doesn't represent very clearly what the application does then it is replaced with an icon that has a name.
Homebrew Application folder naming
I will stick to the folder names used when you extract each homebrew application. Folders with spaces will be replaced with underscores. If your files don't come in a folder, then a folder name will be created. If your homebrew application used a folder name before HBB and you've updated your application, the user will notice that there is an update to your application.
An example is MAsteroids. The game was developed before HBB. Lets say that the game gets updated. Since they are using a folder name, I can simple place the new boot.dol/elf on the server, change the file size and when the user loads HBB it will notice that they have an existing install of MAsteroids and then the user can update to the latest version.
To make my life easier...
- Include an icon.png and a meta.xml file with your homebrew application.
- Try to follow the meta.xml standard and test your meta.xml file in HBC.
- Include a date and version number with your homebrew release, otherwise I will use the timestamp from the boot.dol/elf file and name it v0.1.
- Put your homebrew application files into a folder and then zip up that folder. Try to keep using that folder name for the homebrew applications life.

A message from Low Lines
While designing graphics for teknecal's Homebrew Browser, I have been using a Flash-Based Demo to simulate it (makes it easier to design) and work on possible future features that may be added when teknecal feels ready. Discussion about this can be found here. I am open to ideas and suggestions, and this also provides everyone with a usable demonstration of the Browser.
