--=== The HomebrewFilter ===--
== About ==
The HomebrewFilter is an drop-in replacement for the
Homebrew Channel - it allows Homebrew applications to
be loaded and sorted, among other more outstanding
opportunities.
Compared to the Homebrew Channel, the HomebrewFilter
features the following additional functionality (vWii version has some less):
Run the Installer from any Loader (HBC, whatever). Requirements: HW_AHBPROT access or IOS236.
For the standalone Version install the Forwarder using a WAD Manager and place the app-folder in SD/USB:/apps/
=== Flavours ===
Starting with rev42 the HBF comes in 4 flavours:
Don't install vWii version on Wii and vice versa (channels won't load else).

== About ==
The HomebrewFilter is an drop-in replacement for the
Homebrew Channel - it allows Homebrew applications to
be loaded and sorted, among other more outstanding
opportunities.
Compared to the Homebrew Channel, the HomebrewFilter
features the following additional functionality (vWii version has some less):
- load Homebrew from SD, USB, DVD, SD-Gecko Slot A, SD-Gecko Slot B or All
- boot GameCube Homebrew (device:/gc_apps/)
- load Homebrew from FAT, NTFS or EXT2/3/4 formatted devices
- categorize Homebrew (without the need to change directories)
- download additional content directly from within The HomebrewFilter (Fonts, Themes, Languages)
- on-the-fly updates via network connectivity
- boot into external loaders (Uniiloader, Priiloader, Neek2o, BootMii)
- child-lock mode
- screen adjustment options
- edit meta.xml from within the HomebrewFilter
- debugging using USB Gecko, WiFi and SD-Card (SD//config/HBF/debug.txt)
Run the Installer from any Loader (HBC, whatever). Requirements: HW_AHBPROT access or IOS236.
For the standalone Version install the Forwarder using a WAD Manager and place the app-folder in SD/USB:/apps/
=== Flavours ===
Starting with rev42 the HBF comes in 4 flavours:
- Wii Installer: installs the fullchannel for Wii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter/)
- Wii Standalone: standalone boot.dol with forwarderchannel for Wii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.Standalone/)
- vWii Installer: installs fullchannel for vWii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.vWii/)
- vWii Standalone: standalone boot.dol with forwarderchannel for vWii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.vWii.Standalone/)
Don't install vWii version on Wii and vice versa (channels won't load else).
=== ChangeLog ===
Code:
//rev47:
- build against libruntimeiospatch 1.5.3
- rename "SD Gecko" to "SD Card Debug Log" in Settings
- rename "Wifi Gecko" to "Wifi Debug Log" in Settings
- only scan list of available IOS once per session
- disable 'SD Card Gecko' by default (debug log on SD Card),
because it's causing a MASSIVE slow down when opening an
app's details dialog the first time in a session, when
using a shitty class 2 or whatever SD Card
- fixed that newly build vWii forwarder accidently was the
same than the Wii forwarder
- fixup BootMii (IOS) detection on Wii
- fixup showing device icon for apps
- add ISO0 (any version) to list of known stub IOS
(it's a custom IOS installed by several old apps)
- update german translation
//rev46:
- fix size and layout of device prompt in vWii builds
- remove 'All' button from device prompt in vWii builds
- re-enable 'SD Gecko' setting in vWii builds
- support for Wii U Pro Controller trough FIX94's libwupc
- support for Wii U Pro Controller in the installer
- treat Y button on Game Cube Controller, Classic Controller
and Wii U Pro Controller like 1 button on the Wii Remote
- treat X button on Game Cube Controller, Classic Controller
and Wii U Pro Controller like 2 button on the Wii Remote
- press Z on Game Cube Controller or L Classic Controller or
Wii U Pro Controller to open Settings menu
- press R on Classic Controller or Wii U Pro Controller to
open External Applications menu (no unused button left for
Game Cube Controller)
- press ZL on the Classic Controller or Wii U Pro Controller to
open the device selection prompt (no unused button left for
Game Cube Controller)
- press ZR on the Classic Controller or Wii U Pro Controller to
open the system selection prompt (no unused button left for
Game Cube Controller) [only on Wii]
- previously only the first controller was honoured, now all
four are being connected, though only the first one of each
kind (Wii Remote, Game Cube Controller or Wii U Pro Controller)
can be used, each additional non-unique controller is ignored
- in partition mounter replace debug_printf with xprintf
- disable several DVD and Memory Card related functions in vWii
