Here is a list of what other users would like to see:+ − − ===Examples/Snippets=== − ====Dance Dance Revolution==== − A homemade dance dance style game using gamecube dance mats. − − ====Error/Bug Messenger==== − A program that alerts of errors/bugs while channel is running and sends error reports to the maker of said channel or application. − − ====Instant messaging==== − I think it would be a great idea to make a thing like the xbox's inbox in xbox live. where you could add friends and send them messages. or even make Aim for the wii. where your could log in to your aim account. − − ====Bathroom Scale==== − A program using the Wii Balance Board to figure out your flab. If any. − − ====A DVD Program==== − A program that uses the Wii's DVD drive to play DVDs, controls appear at bottom like Opera ones? Codec could be one of the restricted linux ones. − − ====Flash Drive Support==== − Booting to a USB flash drive in the home brew channel. − − ====USB Hard Drive Support==== − The ability to boot to a hard drive via the HBC and run it that way. SD cards have MANY issues with file corruption, and very limited read/write cycles. HDs don't. − Perhaps a hack for the Wii itself making it use USB HDs instead of the crappy NAND flash memory. − − ====USB DVD/CD Rom Drive Support==== − The ability to access an external DVD/CD Rom drive connected threw the USB ports in the back. This could be a very quick, and easy work around the Wii's DVD encryption system. − − ====NFS File system support==== − The ability to allow a home brew application to mount a networked file system from a local source. This could be a little more possible then trying to hack the USB connection for external Hard Drives/DVD Drives. Considering we already have access to the Wii's network connection. It may be slow for application that wish to access the NFS a lot, and often, but for other application that only load a file once it would be a perfect solution to small SD cards. − : Good in theory, bad in practice, well part of it. You won't be able to just load the entire file, say it is a movie converted to .avi that is ~700mb. The Wii has 64MB, where should I store all that extra data, in my dusty PS2? I would still use this even if it accesses it a lot. I would look into a private network just for data transfer instead of my normal router. [[User:Pinball wizard|Pinball wizard]] 22:39, 9 July 2008 (CEST) − − ====DS as a Controller==== − Using something like the DS download application which allows the DS to act as a HID for mac and PC − − ====DS in game Screen output==== − The ability to extend the screen to a Ds, like in FFCC, Wind Waker etc on the GBA... − − ====Virtual Console Demos==== − These are demos from various Virtual Console Games. Sort of like SSBB Masterpieces, only the player gets more time. Or a better idea would be that the player would only get to play a level or two. Whether these demos are homemade or original, I think this would be a nice idea. (We can have a larger variety of controllers as well.) [Feel free to remove this idea if it is illegal or pirating in any way. − − ====File Downloader==== − Just a simple file downloader! − − ==== Mii Renderer ==== − A program (with source) that allows you to view the Miis on your Wii (very useful for homebrew that wish to use the Mii API) − :Interesting idea... check out the [[Homebrew apps/Mii Extractor]], there should be a start there to at least get the information :) − :the developer (Waninkoko) is banned from these parts tho, but he does release some source code for a few apps on his webpage, so even if this isn't one he might help? [[User:Jamesdodd|JD]] 10:31, 16 June 2008 (CEST) − − ==== Photo Extractor ==== − Some means to extract photos from the Photo Channel and save them to an SD card or a computer that normally are limited to Wii use, like Metroid Prime 3 screen shots and Check Mii Out screen shots. − − ==== WiiConnect24 ==== − − Basically any app that does something while the Wii is on Standby. − It would probably be hard and dangerous, as it would require modifying the Wii filesystem, but if it became more easy (using libraries) people would start developing things for it. − − Having read [[WiiConnect24]] I'm not sure It could do anything useful besides downloading files or recieving email, but It's worth a try. --[[User:XaPi|XaPi]] 21:25, 27 June 2008 (CEST) − − ==== BitTorrent client ==== − − An app that downloads torrents to SD or a USB mass storage device. Not too useful, right? Wrong. The client will be able to continue downloading via WiiConnect24. --[[User:00Davo|00Davo]] 06:08, 16 July 2008 (CEST) − − ==== DS Homebrew Transmitter ==== − − An app to transmit DS Homebrew from your storage media (SD/USB etc) to the DS perhaps? Although it may need some work on the DS side of things too. − − ==== Yoshi's Topsy Turvey Engine ==== − − The engine from Yoshi's Topsy Turvey. You could tilt the Wii Remote to tilt the world / stage, while using the other buttons on the Wii Remote as usual. This could be used in other Homebrew Games, such as adventures, or a new kind of Ballion. − − Technically, that engine had only digital tilting and could only detect if it was tilted left, tilted right or simply not tilted. The idea's great, but only if it gets proper analog tilt. --[[User:00Davo|00Davo]] 04:41, 20 July 2008 (CEST) − − Well, with the Wii Motion Plus (which adds gyroscopes to the Wiimote) coming out soon, this idea needs a second look. --[[User:Zim|Zim]] 7/27/08 − − − − ===Virtual Machine Ports=== − ===== Bochs ===== − http://bochs.sourceforge.net − − My suggestion is to allow for front SD, or even better External USB hard drive support to load the disk image, config file, etc. and to have USB keyboard and Wimote support. It would also be great to be able to use the USB ports, Front SD, Bluetooth, DVD Drive, and integrated wifi from within the emulated machine. I believe that the Wii should be capable of running Windows 98 fairly well, since the PSP can run Windows 95 with [http://www.hacker.co.il/psp/bochs Bochs]. --[[User:Westy92|Westy92]] 03:26, 10 June 2008 (CEST) − The GP2X can run Win95 with a 6:38 minute start-up, at around 1/3 the power on processor so we could get something decent. [[User:Pinball wizard|Pinball wizard]] 05:01, 16 June 2008 (CEST) − What about XP? Here's the minimum specs[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314865] − --[[User:Matando|Matando]] 01:57, 29 June 2008 (CEST) XP should run under − Bochs. We just need to be careful with the small amount of RAM Wii has(88MB). It also requires at least 1.5GB of hard disk space, excluding documents, so we have to load disk images off usb devices. We should include support for Front SD too, maybe for extra hard drive space or possibly even some virtual ram. − − ===Tools=== − − − − ==== Textviewer ==== − ''Description'': A text viewing app, plain and simple. − − ''Motivation'': If I work at my PC and can't use it at that moment to view a documentation, i could watch it instead on my Wii. − − ''Controlled by'': Wiimote − * Select file to view − ** '''A''': choose file or directory − ** '''B''': go back up a directory level − ** '''HOME''': back to HBC − ** '''D-Pad''': use up/down to scroll up/down line by line, use left/right to scroll up/down page by page − * Viewmode of a selected file − ** '''A''': scroll down one page − ** '''B''': scroll up one page − ** '''+''': upscale font size − ** '''-''': downscale font size − ** '''1''': cycle through encodings (e.g. UTF-8, ANSI, ASCII) − ** '''2''': cycle through line break methods (CR, CR/LF, LF) − ** '''HOME''': menu: back to file, choose another file, back to HBC − ** '''D-Pad''': use up/down to scroll up/down line by line, use left/right to scroll up/down page by page − − Is this the correct page to request such an application? If I'm wrong, please correct me. More ideas to control this app can be delivered (things like switching line breaks on/off, in off-mode use d-pad to scroll also left/right). − :It sounds like your asking for a Wii port of [http://www.vim.org/ Vim]. --[[User:Nliwilson|nliwilson]] 16:43, 9 June 2008 (CEST) − :I'm not sure under what situation you'd actually want to do this? If your wanting to view a text file on the wii it means: − ::a) You don't have your computer to hand − ::b) You've already got your text file on your SD Card − ::c) Getting to your computer/turning the PC on, will be slower than turning the wii on − :Have you considered having a small web server on your network and accessing files through the internet channel instead? - [[User:Jamesdodd|JD]] 17:01, 9 June 2008 (CEST) − − Seems like this would be nice for READMEs, etc. [[User:aksommerville]] − − ====VNC Client==== − I would love to see some form of VNC client for the wii. I think it would be great to be able to control my main computer from the living room without the aid of my bashed up old laptop. − − :I know this is already possible, by using LogMeIn. I have tried this and I verify that this works, but is a little slow. I think it should have USB keyboard support, yet I have no way to test that. Intructions can be found [http://www.hackmiiwii.com/2007/01/02/control-your-computer-from-your-wii/ Here]. --[[User:Westy92|Westy92]] 00:47, 17 June 2008 (CEST) − :This could just be another application to be used via wii linux, so push for that instead [[User:Jamesdodd|JD]] 01:06, 17 June 2008 (CEST) − This wouldn't work. PCs use SVGA, with a MINIMUM resolution of 800x600. The Wii has no HD support, meaning it has only one resolution, standard def, 640x480. See the problem now? Wrong resolutions. (360 and PS3 have adequate resolutions) − :The NDS has a VNC client (never tried it), so I think it would be possible...--[[User:XaPi|XaPi]] 21:55, 25 June 2008 (CEST) − : tell that to my ubuntu laptop with the res option of 640x480 and 400x300 also scrollbars? --[[User:Warpedflash|Warpedflash]] − :Actually it is entirely possible. Just look at LogMeIn on the PC for a perfect example of how it can be done. If the resolutions of the two screens are different, it allows you to either have it "Fit To Page" or allow it to scroll. PCs can use QVGA (320x240, almost never used by users nowadays), VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), XGA (1024x768), just to name a few. Also, a "Standard Definition" television does not use 640x480 (a common mistake). NTSC televisions use a resolution of 720x480, while PAL televisions use 768x576. This is the sole reason why you can't mix and match PAL and NTSC devices. --[[User:Kabili|Kabili]] 09:13, 26 June 2008 (CEST) − Alternately, how about a VNC ''server''? If it could run in the background with WiiConnect24, it would be sweet. --[[User:00Davo|00Davo]] 04:43, 20 July 2008 (CEST) − − ====Web browser==== − We know the DS has a few third party browsers now, but it would be nice to see a Wii one! (Could we port over Firefox or some other open source browser?) − − :Is Opera open source? A port of the PC one would be far superior than the Opera Channel, and Firefox, as without all its extensions firefox is nothing, whereas Opera is basically FF + All the good extensions. (sorry if I start a browser war :s). [[User:Muzer|Muzer]] 10:17, 25 April 2008 (PDT) − :: No, it's not, and this would be a lot of work for little benefit.[[User:Bushing|Bushing]] 14:26, 25 April 2008 (PDT) − :::Opera isn't open source; I disagree that this would be a lot of work for little benefit. Java support, downloading files, add in plugins and other things you can't do on the Internet Channel which would be definately worth it. − ::::I think it depends on if you would really use it -- I agree it'd be cool to use Firefox on my Wii, but if I actually want to browse I get my laptop. And if you don't have access to a computer with the internet, you're not going to be able to get any Wii homebrew anyway! I do think it'd be cool, and I'd definitely download it if someone put it up, but I agree with Bushing -- not worth it. -- [[User:Karaken12|karaken12]] 11:45, 13 May 2008 (PDT) (P.S. Sign your posts! Use <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) − :::::Opera is not free, I mean it's not a free software and it costs 500 wiipoints, port Firefox or a webkit based browser should be a lot of work but it also would be a great alternative to the bad Wii's Opera. [[User:Terloup2|Terloup2]] 10:32, 27 May 2008 (PDT) − ::::::The internet channel is very limited in terms of content (lack of video plugins, latest flash versions etc etc) and probably won't get updated all that often, so I'd support the idea of a homebrew browser. Especially if it could support local file browsing to allow viewing of files stored on the SD card (good for flash based games). And if it loaded faster, that would be a BIG plus. [[User:Jamesdodd|JD]] 22:02, 10 June 2008 (CEST) − :I haven't tried GC-linux, but the framebuffer works, no? Then surely DirectFB works on Wii, and Mozilla [http://www.directfb.org/wiki/index.php/DFBMozilla works on DirectFB], so a port would not be hard at all. Of course that would require a Wii network driver for GC-linux.--comex − ::I've not got GC-Linux working (don't have a USB keyboard anyway) so unfortunately can't try this at the moment, but this sort of thing would be suitable if the boot times were low enough... But I kinda doubt they would be. [[User:Jamesdodd|JD]] 15:09, 12 June 2008 (CEST) − − ====E-mail Client==== − Wouldn't it be cool if we had a little POP3(or IMAP) e-mail client to check our e-mail on the wii. Maby a stripped down port of Outlook Express. No Tasks, To-do, or any of that crap. But a calendar would be nice! − :I think this is yet another one of those apps that could just be used via wii linux. another possibility is web mail [[User:Jamesdodd|JD]] 11:39, 23 June 2008 (CEST) − I'd say go with an already open source ThunderBird, Evolution, or possibly the awesome Zimbra! (Possibly make as a channel) NINTENDO: IF YOU'RE READING THIS, GIVE THE WII POP3 SUPPORT FOR THE MESSAGE BOARD!!! − ====Media Share over Network==== − I know there are some media players that play files from the SD card, but would it be possible to play them over the network? − :wiimiidia was announced with support for network shares, think it worked via samba? anyway, you'll probably have to wait for that since no one else is really making anything media wise that I can think of because of it. [[User:Jamesdodd|JD]] 11:40, 23 June 2008 (CEST) − − ====SQLite==== − Would be very handy for media player apps. I've tried to port the amalgamated version (one huge .c file) but my programming skills are laughable and I've gotten nowhere. − :Underestimated myself! Ported and works in non-threaded read-only mode, though not thoroughly tested. Safe read-write still requires a ftruncate (or similar) function for libfat. --[[User:DrTwox|DrTwox]] 03:32, 11 July 2008 (CEST) − : I don't know if it could be useful, but there is PSP version available from SVN: − svn checkout svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/sqlite − :-[[User:Crayon|Crayon]] 22:32, 18 July 2008 (CEST) − ::Thanks. I did look through the code of PSP SQLite to get an idea of the basic functions that needed porting, but in the end almost all of the changes were small rewrites to the unix port and I bolted on some code that was "missing" from devkitPPC and libogc. The porting has come to a brief stop while I work on something else, but I'm hoping to find time to add a few hooks into libfat for full read-write sql support before I release. [[User:DrTwox|DrTwox]] 01:10, 19 July 2008 (CEST) − − ===3D Graphics Engine=== − Anything that I can do 3D graphics in to start production of some 3D games from scratch would be nice but I don't want to ask to much of you all. [[User:Pinball wizard|Pinball wizard]] 22:35, 9 July 2008 (CEST) − − ===Games=== − − ==== Pacman Championship Edition ==== − − I would love to see this game on the Wii.

They have a program that works with Max/MSP to convert Guitar Hero Controller notes into real music notes. It's for any system that Max/MSP is for, but the likelihood of them giving you the source is pretty much nil. --[[User:SquidMan|SquidMan]] 02:29, 28 June 2008 (CEST) − :: Just of note, if I counted correctly, there are 27 different possible combinations of fret presses on a 5-button guitar.

Couldn't find any verification, there's barely any information on them anywhere. FoF seems to be the most popular and best documented.

Definite prerequisites would be libraries like FreeType, ffmpeg, and something like SDL.

However, a native port (like running on the XBox) would be preferable. XBMC developers already have scripting for the Wii Remote. − − Needed features would include many of those featured on this page: USB hard drive support, NFS streaming support, and DVD playing all come to mind. XBMC, however, provides all of these if the hardware/driver-level work is done. If there was ever a port, "nice-to-have" features would include full networking (like on a desktop, since the Wii has wifi) and a DS controller. − − I, personally, have little to no programming capability, but am always willing to compile anything with a list of instructions.

== Offers of Help/Services ==
== Where? ==
Where do we put requests for homebrew applications, games and libraries? I'd like to see:
* 3d helper library similar to libwiisprite in spririt
* Functions to do save/load game data from SD card -- I guess this exists. It would be nice to see some standards, then a general save game manager could be created.
* Real Wii internal memory support to save/load homebrew data.
* DevKitPro support for WiiBalanceBoard
* Support for getting Mii data and support for rendering Mii's

== Developer Requests ==
== I think there should be a real page dedicated to requests. ==
Impossible things would be removed, but good ones could be voted on by users.

:That may be a good idea, but while we're on the topic of requests, can you use a normal signature? Red links means the page isn't yet created. Also, using your own font (and inserting what seems to be a non-hyperlinked character in the middle of your name) really takes away from the continuity of the wiki format. -- [[User:MetaFight|MetaFight]] 17:57, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah I'm pretty good at writing in wiki but I have no idea how we could make polls or some way for people to easily vote for what they want. As for my sig, The text is red and non-created pages are more of a rust-orange-red. I put the black character (which IS hyperlinked) so it wouldn't confuse people as to whether the page was created or not. I think it fits very well with the continuity of the wiki format because it's a customized sig that (at least I THOUGHT) doesn't confuse people. I guess I'll change it a little...

== Ideas for Homebrew-Apps ==
== Beta Testing ==
Quick question - is there a list of dedicated beta testers? I understand that the point might be that you test it yourself and when you think it is ready, release it to the world then fix problems as they come in, but I think that good games could be missed as they are picked up too early by the community. [[User:Steaky1212|Steaky1212]] 08:31, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Those who beta test homebrew most likely have the beta tester template on their userpage, like mine. --[[User:Williamdude1|Williamdude1]] 06:40, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
