−==== Q: Will the source code be released? ====
−A:
A: We don't know, there has been some debate about this, the general answer is yes, depending on where you live.+==== Q: After installing the Homwbrew Channel and trying to start it, the screen is left black after start. I have heard you need kind of firmware version 3.2? ====+A: All you need is the latest Wii System Update (wii icon in the lower left corner of menu, settings, scroll right onto the 3rd page and the option is there). Install that and you're good to go!+

−A: Not - yet, although no method - may - ever be - made later.

==== Q: What is the Homebrew Channel all about? ====
−A: It's a channel that lets you run Wii Homebrew in .elf or .dol format. Currently, you can load them from an SD card, a USB Gecko or via local network (WiFi or wired), and probably WAN as well). Each application may have a customised icon of certain size, and various information which is displayed when selected, such as name, short description, long description, version, release date, and coder, stored in an XML file.

A:The last version of the homebrew channel had a time limit, it would stop working after you had used it for 10 minutes. The current homebrew channel doesn't have that lmitation, so you can forget about it.

−==== Q: After burning the HBC ISO to a DVD+RW and another time on a DVD-R, Wii responds with "Unable to read disc"? I have a modded Wii and both types of discs I am able to play downloaded game ISOs. Am I doing anything wrong? ====

−==== Q: Why can't I use the homebrew channel with my Nyko wireless nunchuck attached? ====
+==== Q: Is there any chance at all that Nintendo can/will brick a Wii that has the Homebrew Channel? ====
−A:
+A: Possible, but unlikely. It's far more likely that a future Nintendo update could *accidentally* conflict with the HBC. Keep checking on WiiBrew before installing updates and you'll likely be safe.

+==== Q: Does this void my warranty even though it is just software and not a hardware mod? ====
−A: It is possible but unlikely, and it will have to be triggered via an update. Keep checking on wiibrew before installing updates and you'll likely be safe.
+A: Technically? Perhaps. Realistically? No
