Homebrew Sorter allows you to sort your homebrew applications into categories all through your Wii. It's like categorii but easier to manage and is simple to use.
How to Install
Create an /apps folder on the root of your SD card (e.g. E:/apps).
Extract the zip and copy the homebrew_sorter folder to the /apps folder on your SD card.
Usage
After booting, go to settings and assign homebrew applications to the different categories by pressing the Plus button on the Wiimote and remove them by pressing the Minus button. You can change categories by selecting them on the left menu. You can have the same applications in different categories. Once you have finished, you can go back to the main menu and from there select a category to show in the HBC.
You can choose whether to load from SD or USB, you need to restart homebrew sorter if you change between them.
How it works
- Homebrew Sorter reads all the folders on your SD or USB device, it checks to see if a boot.dol/elf is present.
- It then goes and checks a homebrew list file (on your device) to see which homebrew you have assigned to which categories.
- Once you select a category, it renames all the boot.dol/elf of the applications which shouldn't be shown to boot.dol/elf.bak
