I tried to find a megathread for vwii Homebrew Channel, but I didn't find one.

I can't see any apps when I go into VWII and open up the Homebrew Channel. It displays the background of Vwii Homebrew Channel, but no apps.

- I am using the latest version of Tiramisu.
- The apps are in the apps folder in the root of the SD card. root/apps/nintendon't
- Each app has the boot.dol and the meta.xml.
- The SD Card is formatted to Fat32.
- the SD card is NOT locked.
- I am using Vwii to open the Homebrew channel.

I would like to be able to use Vwii apps because I can't find a wad manager for the WIIU Homebrew Launcher. I can only find a Wad manager for the VWII Homebrew Channel.

I am using Vwii to open the Homebrew Channel.

Let me know if you have any ideas for what the problem could be. I don't know how the Homebrew Channel got onto my console. It is just there. Thanks.

Perhaps your HBC is configured for usb apps instead of sdcard. iirc you have to press the 1 button to configure the location and change it to sd

I just checked on this and it is set to SD. Setting it to USB and back to SD didn't change it. :(

I also just reinstalled vWii following method 1 on this guide with no change.

UPDATE: I reformatted the SD card and now it can see apps! I don't know why this worked since it was already formatted correctly.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
