Homebrew applications
| This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Crayon (talk | contribs) at 04:18, 17 April 2008. It may differ significantly from the current revision. |
This page gives an overview of released homebrew apps. The Twilight Hack and the new Homebrew Channel is currently the only way to run the apps on an unmodified console.
==Note to developers==Please include an autodetect routine (VIDEO_GetCurrentTVMode()) to detect HDTV/EDTV and set the appropriate video mode. (TVNtsc480Prog) Many people are running through component output, and it seems a good time to suggest this while not much has been released yet.
The current video autodetect routine doesn't work with PAL60 (480p @ 60 Hz in PAL Wii) using the offical Nintendo RGB cable for Wii.
Please also include a method to return to the loader.
