Hacking My apps don't appear on the homebrew channel

Oui · Nov 30, 2018

Hi, I've recently bought a new SD card for my Wii but after transfering the exact same files i had in my previous SD card (which worked perfectly fine), my applications didn't show up. I've tried to follow several tutorials and threads, but nothing changed.
Any idea on how to fix my problem ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : The SD card is formated to FAT32

I've tried to use my previous SD card (which, as I said, used to work fine), but it didn't work either

I'll give this a try asap

Hello,

Watch if your SD cards are not locked in writing, the little "LOCK" on the side of the SD card

Press 2 on HBC and select SD

Directories are ok?
apps/yourapp

to remove any doubt, the Homebrew Channel shows what I copy in the "apps" folder

If you're formatted to Fat32, and your old SD still works, then the new SD does not work

@Illuminaticy true, but the problem could also be a micro sd with adapter, these are less compatible than SD.
if I remember correctly, only the FW 4.3 reads SD SDHC

Cyan · Nov 30, 2018

system menu version is only relevant when using the system menu. (SD menu, managing channels or savegames, etc.)

The homebrew channel doesn't rely on the system menu's version, it has its own SD card driver.
be sure it's SD or SDHC, not SDXC. (though, it might work too. Or maybe only WiiU is compatible with XC cards)

if it's not SDXC, and it's correctly using FAT32, it's either a file system issue (wrong location, folder, etc.), or the card is not compatible, but it's very strange. maybe it's a fake SD?

System menu version doesn't matter for homebrew channel. His SD is fake, not compatible, or he has wrong file paths.
Edit: Cyan already said what I said, just faster then me lol.

i actually said that my old SD doesn't work anymore... thus i think it is a problem with my files, but they seem to be correct (SD/apps/[...])

i really doubt it's fake... and i'm pretty sure my file paths are correct

Does it show on the wii system menu?
The only things you can do; Format again, add ONE thing into /apps. Try BOTH SD cards. Reset wii. Reinstall homebrew channel. Test with a USB device.
