== About the Homebrew Channel ==

== About the Homebrew Channel ==

The [[Homebrew Channel]] is a self-updating application created by [[Team Twiizers]], which allows users to easily load and use [[homebrew applications]], without having to use exploits such as Bannerbomb or Twilight Hack every time they run a new application. After installation, the channel is accessible from the Wii Menu just like any other Wii channel. The channel can be deleted at any time through the Wii's "Data Management" menu. The Homebrew Channel does not show up in the console's play logs, however this does not affect the Wii in any way whatsoever.
