The Homebrew Browser is a homebrew application made by teknecal that allows you to download homebrew applications through your Wii without the need of downloading through a computer and extracting them to your SD card.
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
Create an /apps folder on the root of your SD card (e.g. E:/apps).
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.
Alternatively, if you load boot.dol using wiiload.exe (included with the Homebrew Channel), and possibly other similar methods, Homebrew Browser will offer to download and install the latest version of itself to your SD card automatically.
Usage
You can view this guide which shows how to use the Homebrew Browser.
- If you are using the Homebrew Channel then extract the homebrew_browser directory from the archive in your apps directory into the root of your SD card.
- Launch Homebrew Browser from Homebrew Channel and your Wii must be connected to the Internet.
- Uses the Wiimote with IR to choose your favorite homebrew application.
- Green Tick - You have the latest version of that homebrew application installed.
- Yellow Question Mark - You might not have the latest version of that homebrew application installed.

How it works
- 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.
- HBB checks to see if the user has the latest image files (stored in apps/homebrew_browser/temp) for all homebrew listed. If the image is out of date or missing, it downloads the image file.
- 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. When HBB is updating an application it will overwrite any existing files that the application has.
Notes for Homebrew Developers
Here's a guide on how to format your app for homebrew browser
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.
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.
Homebrew Standards
- Include an icon.png and a meta.xml file with your homebrew application. Make sure the icon.png file dimensions is 128 x 48.
- 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 or v1.0.
- 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.
