:::There's no "clean-room" issue, and it's not a touchy subject either. Put simply, why does every bit of source need to be given away? It doesn't - there's no obligation and plenty of code has already been provided. There's really no secrets here - it's all been documented on WiiBrew and anyone can code it themselves, provided they have the initiative to. And a number of people already have. --[[User:Tantric|Tantric]] 19:30, 14 October 2010 (CEST)

::@Tantric Not a touchy subject? Everything is well documented here? OK, then why is there no Homebrew Browser Channel installer? I can't believe I'm the first person to want such a thing. And where is the description on WiiBrew about AHBPROT? Note if you're bored with this discussion feel free to consider these questions rhetorical.

+:::No one has bothered. That is the simple and straight forward reason. Now, for making a custom channel without using .NET tools, that's perfectly possible, you can use other tools to do the job. Basically what you need are a legal base WAD (You can get these from the CustomizeMii Google Code page), a WAD (un)packer and a TPL converter. Extract the base WAD, convert the TPLs to PNGs, edit/replace them (!!make sure images are same dimensions etc!!), convert back to TPLs and then repack the WAD. Optionally, you could also edit the animation with Benzin while its unpacked, but that's tricky. And then you will have a custom channel WAD. As for installing it, you're on your own there :P. I'm guessing the main reason for installers being closed source is so that pirates don't change two lines and have a warez installer. And for HackMii Installer, that's obviously not going to be open source, then Ninty would see their exploits, and scammers would remove the scam warnings.
+:::Also, I'm pretty sure there IS a Homebrew Browser Channel, just not on WiiBrew. Google a bit ;)
+:::BTW, there's some documentation on HW_AHBPROT right here: http://hackmii.com/2009/08/of-tmds-and-hardware/ - not WiiBrew, but pretty much. --[[User:SifJar|SifJar]] 21:34, 14 October 2010 (CEST)
