=== LibGameLoad ===

"Game Load" is a utility listed in HBB. Really, it's a demo for libgameload. Is the source code for libgameload anywhere? I can't seem to find it or the demo anywhere but HBB. This looks like something I want to play around with, but it doesn't seem to exist. Anyone have details? [[User:Bobpaul|Bobpaul]]

Does the DVD-X Installer download come with PatchMii so it can install the patchmii version for modchip users? or is patchmii a seperate app you have to install altogether?

I quote this from the Homebrew Channel/Bugs page " but I prefer to leave my WiiConnect24 on, as I get messages from Nintendo and the Homebrew Browser, and I like to be notified when they arrive." Is it true that HBB gives out notices? If so I have yet to receive one. [[User:Pinball wizard|Pinball wizard]] 00:09, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

The HBB used to work fine,, But i don't know what i did, patch mii dvdx maybe?(thats the only thing i can think of. but now the HBB doesn't work... it says connecting to server, server connected now loading homebrew browser and then it restarts homebrew channel. Or if it can't connect it says error (i am not home now so am not sure but i think error-ret 115) and it says retrying (infinately until i get a code dump error.)

Why do you have to wait a few days before HBB accepts your message board request? You don't have to do it manually do you? You should look into automating it. -- [[User:GamingMedley.com|GamingMedley.com]] 04:02, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I am assuming this is legal (please correct me if I am wrong) as long as I get your permission FIRST, would you like the HBB to become a Channel made using [[Benzin]]? I would make the installer and channel and such. How interested are you? I know a few people have illegally made this with copyrighted banners and such so I see it as if you provide it, then there is no need for people to illegally make/use it.

Well, we are looking good. I have a test channel up and running pretty good. I tried to download something and it code dumped but I think that was a hiccup on HBB not the channel. I will need to do some artwork clean-up and rearrangement so that it looks better (for the test I took the .psd and converted it straight to a .png for testing). I also need to adjust the llop point in the audio as right now it sounds like it is a scratched CD at the end-of-loop point. Once the images are properly I am hoping to shrink the size of the channel as it is currently 28 blocks (6.33MB). The installer is about half way through being programmed. The only thing I have to ask is that you keep a standard on the folder name for HBB. @Ensign R, no worries, the ticket name for this is HBB3.

: HUGE UPDATE!!!!! I fixed the code dump issue (it was on me, all in method of loading HBB). The artwork for the channel is done and the only thing I need some help is with the music loop. I am trying to cut it at 15 seconds in (right after the bells stop) but I can't get a precise enough "chop" to make it sound right. If you can get that to sound good the channel will be visibly functional (but I am going to check the dpi as I think it is set above 72 (SD quality). I found a better method in how to launch HBB where it doesn't require any external files or anything but I am fighting my compiler on that. The installer is mostly ready for alpha tests but if you see in the forums I am fighting compiler issues. Once it is compiled I need to look at some debug information, then we are ready for beta testing i.e. see if we brick peoples' wiis running other systems (just kidding). I will need people to test out if this works on 3.2,3.4, and 4.0 wiis as my system version is 3.3. I am thinking that you (tecknecal) can get this for you to approve by thursday if I get the installer compile problem fixed. I think it is my "environment" that is the issue, so I am off to uninstall and reinstall. [[User:Pinball wizard|Pinball wizard]] 21:22, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

::I don't know whether you still need it, but I made a nicely looping version of the music. Download it [http://files.helsionium.eu/hbb-loop.wav here]. It's a 44.1 kHz, 16 bit, stereo WAV file. The loop start should be at sample 42376, loop end at 719752 (end of file). I don't know details about the format required for channels, but if one the loop points must be aligned at a specific boundary, you can move the loop start left about 400ms (15000 samples) or right indefinitely (of course, this requires duplicating the sample material after the loop start point).

Also, ''a lot'' of programs coming from outside HBB don't have metas and icons, which makes them look ugly.

:It's unlikely that you will find any emulator, on any system, that is distributed with any software (ROMs) for that emulator. The reason for this is that not doing so (generally) absolves the maker (or distributor) of the emulator from any copyright concerns that may still exist with the software. Yes it would be quite easy and a heck of a lot more convenient for all if your emulator included or could download ROMs themselves, but as I've stated that would pose a copyright issue and as such does not happen. You can download ROMs quite easily yourself off the net, but in doing so yourself the onus is on you. [[User:Ensign R|Ensign R]] 13:34, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

It'd be cool if it was possible to create a "virtual server" for HBB on your LAN. I have 3 wii's, and it takes forever on my internet connection to download stuff from codemii.com (heck, the domain takes almost a minute to resolve when I start HBB). On the other hand, i can transfer a 528MB bootmii nand dump in about a minute between systems on the network.

When using this app, I get an "exception dsi occurred!" and a code dump. But when I download it manually from its page on wiibrew, the game runs fine. Just thought I should mention this problem.[[User:WaxyPumpkin72|WaxyPumpkin72]] 23:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

: That's odd. I've just tried it and it downloaded and worked fine. Can you try downloading it again? If it doesn't work, can you compare the files with the manually downloaded zip file?--[[User:Teknecal|Teknecal]] 01:50, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

::Sure, I'll try comparing them when I get the chance. It would also seem that people are having trouble with this here: http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,16766[[User:WaxyPumpkin72|WaxyPumpkin72]] 16:23, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

===Dump to TXT file/Friendly crash screen===

=== Dump to TXT file/Friendly crash screen ===

I was browsing apps, downloading Kobo Delux, and adding to the queue, when it crashed. Now, it's a big annoyance to take a camera and photograph the screen, and it's not the most user friendly, so why not dump the info to a TXT file instead? Then, instead of a screen with coding nonsence, a screen pops up saying "The Homebrew Browser has encounterd a fatal error, and mus be closed", and send you back to the Menu or Homebrew Channel. And if possible, even have the Browswe send the error in to the server on the next start-up.

:I think he can't do this, because this error comes by every HomeBrew Application, so it's a Wii own error which says nonono that's not allowed or so, because if he could catch the error like while(this->error()) or so, he do it, but that's I think not possible, because the error comes without announcement.

===Low battery, bug===

=== Low battery, bug ===

Hi. The battery of my remote ran dry, and homebrew browser instantly shutted down my wii. My guess is that it is because the homebrew browser looses connection from the wiimote, it assumes that the user pressed the power button on the wiimote. You might want to check this out yourself, teknecal. But great application anyways!!1111oeneone --[[User:Mechaelvis|Mechaelvis]] 20:12, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

===Not recognizing my homebrew apps? {{Talk:Homebrew Browser/Open}}===

=== Not recognizing my homebrew apps? {{Talk:Homebrew Browser/Open}} ===

I've added a lot of apps manually, which HBB doesn't recognize at all. Is it possible for you to recognize multiple versions of the same file? Also, I use custom meta.xml files for each app. Is this how you determine whether or not I have the app? If so, I suggest it be changed to check just the <version>/<release_date> tag(s) of the XML file, and nothing else. If possible, after installing the app, only update the <version>/<release_date> tag(s), leaving the rest to be the custom data (if it is custom). It may be too hard to determine whether or not it's custom, because I imagine it would include a database of all previous meta.xml files, so maybe you could simply update just the <version>/<release_date> and maybe <long_description> for apps whether that's absolutely necessary. That got a little off-topic, and can probably be split to another suggestion altogether, but mainly: is this why or why doesn't HBB recognize all of my applications? -- [[User:GamingMedley.com|GamingMedley.com]] 04:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

: HBB only detects programs that is in the list file (http://www.codemii.com/hbb/homebrew_browser/listv030.txt). It just checks the for the directory name and the corresponding boot.dol/elf file. If the boot file is there then it makes it as installed. If you do have an application which you think should be on HBB, provided it doesn't do any modifications that could cause an issue on the Wii if used incorrectly, then please do advise me of the application. --[[User:Teknecal|Teknecal]] 10:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

===Updating Quake Wii {{Talk:Homebrew Browser/Received}}===

=== Updating Quake Wii {{Talk:Homebrew Browser/Received}} ===

When updating Quake Wii, PAK0.PAK gets overwritten. This is bad, because I have vispatched my .PAK files to have transparent water. Why not check if PAK0.PAK exists first and then download a version without PAK0.PAK?

This should make the download significantly smaller too.
