This is a warning to the owners of this site. My name is Shigeru Miyamoto and I am disappoint. You are breaking the DCMA laws. DCMA laws protect our freedoms far into the furture. There is over 9000 pages here and I want every single one of them gone by next week. This is not a threat but a promise. Every day after that week is up, I will sue you for $100,000 a day.

Using the '''Homebrew Disc Loader''', you can load homebrew programs from regular ISO9660 DVDs. It supports (sub)directories.

Thank you for using Nintendo. We must ensure our freedoms through use of the DCMA. This not the analog millennium one passed in 1000 A.D., but the digital one.

== Requirements ==
+
* Some way to run homebrew
+
* [[DVDx]]

==CEASE==
+
== Usage ==

AND DESIST
+
* Rename programs to boot.dol and put them in separate (sub)directories on the DVD.
+
* Put meta.xml in the same directories if you want friendly program names and descriptions
+
* Put DISCINFO-file in the root of the DVD if you want disc information
+
* Burn as ISO9660 DVD.
+
* Put disc in console and start program.
+
* Follow on-screen instructions.
+
+
== DISCINFO-file ==
+
As of version 0.3, Homebrew Disc Loader supports a DISCINFO-file in the root of the DVD. This file contains info about the homebrew DVD. At the moment, only the first line is read and displayed as the disc title above the program menu. More fields may be implemented in the future; the recommended format is as follows:
+
+
<pre><Disc title>
+
<Author>
+
<Year of release>
+
<E-mail-address author>
+
<Legal information></pre>
+
+
Example:
+
+
<pre>Sierradev's Homebrew Compilation Disc
+
Sierradev
+
2008
+
foo@example.com
+
Various licenses apply</pre>
+
+
Note: not all fields may apply to your disc; just leave the non-applicable fields open by using an empty line
+
+
== Known issues ==
+
* Programs like Quake, which depend on data files in the same directory as the program, may not work. At the moment, it is unclear whether and, if so, when this will be fixed.
+
* If the disc title is longer than 60 characters, it will wrap to the next line and the menu may scroll up.
+
+
== Todo ==
+
* Graphical interface?
+
* Add loading from USB drive?
+
* Clean up code
+
+
