- Cannot be launched/autobooted from CEIL1NG_CAT without modifications.
Flavors
Starting with rev42 the HBF comes in 4 flavors:
- Wii Installer: installs the fullchannel for Wii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter/)
- Wii Standalone: standalone boot.dol with forwarderchannel for Wii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.Standalone/)
- vWii Installer: installs fullchannel for vWii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.vWii/)
- vWii Standalone: standalone boot.dol with forwarderchannel for vWii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.vWii.Standalone/)
All versions are updatable via online-update. Don’t change paths – will result in non-working updates/forwarders.
