Some things peeps have mentioned, but I'm only posting to point out a few things on this thread need updated peeps
Wad manager 1.4 now FTW, loads from USB2
Also...HomeBrew Launcher 0.12 (No banner ) has been updated to >>>>> version 1.0 (has much better loading of apps etc over SMB)
What else hasn't been mentioned enough, well get forwarders if you leave an SD card in instead of WADS.
Also check out uniloader, loads everything from 1 channel.
AR channel for GC is good and not mentioned yet, if you like to mess about with some old GC games.
My personal fave is MPlayer CE, and anything else with SMB features.
But really if you aint got HomeBrew launcher you're missing out imo. It is soooooooo customisable.
I'll maybe re-edit ,my post if I get time one day, and think everyone should so we have a must have channels thread.
