Homebrew Channel

Wii Homebrew Channel

A custom Wii channel created by Team Twiizers, the same people responsible for the Twilight Hack. It allows homebrew to be run from the SD card in a similar fashion to the Twilight Hack, but from the Wii menu, so is more convenient. Currently the Wii Homebrew Channel available for public release is a beta. Currently it allows ten minutes of usage before expiring. Once the channel has expired, it cannot be reinstalled, so it's suggested you use the allocated ten minutes wisely.

Installation

Assuming the Twilight Hack is already installed on your Wii;

1. Download the installer from the section below.
2. Place the installer file on the root of your SD card.
3. Rename the file to boot.elf
4. Run the Twilight Hack, and allow the installer to load.
5. READ THE DISCLAIMER! In the very unlikely case your Wii should be bricked by the installer, this will let you know where you stand in regards to Team Twiizers.
6. Press the RESET button on your Wii.

The installation should be automatic from this point on, and your Wii will reboot.

The Homebrew Channel is the new channel with no skin/theme.

Removal

1. removing the channel can be done with the channel management in the wii system software.
2. the homebrew channel will be displayed with a questionmark and with three questionmarks (???) as the name.
3. after removal of the channel it can't be reinstalled for another ten minutes of usage.

FAQ

Q: Why the ten-minute time limit?

A: Because it's an ugly, crude version that pales in comparison to what we hope to release in the near future. Think of it as something halfway between a "sneak preview" and an April Fool's joke that nobody else found funny. Our bad.

(For the record, we are also uncomfortable releasing something for general consumption until we've had more of a chance to test it with IOS37. You've been warned.)
