Homebrew Channel (Beta 8)

[Defiance]

This sucks, whenever I launch the HC, it tells me that's there's an update. Well I got to update it, and 7-14% it says: Error, Download Failed. Wtf... I really want the new beta.

I make sure there's no DVD in the Wii, all controller and memory cards are blank, and even the SD card is removed. How can I install this new version? Please help.

I've updated, but the Memory Card glitch is STILL there. ;_;

i still don't really get the point of the homebrew channel.
am i missing anything here?

Being able to boot homebrew in ELF form directly, saving space by using an SD card vs the Wii's internal memory.

 

[Defiance]

Sorry for double posting, but is it ok to download the ELF file and run it in the Homebrew Channel and update it from there? Because it will NOT update just by downloading!

i have a channel for wad-installations
and another channel for wad-uninstalls.

Wads are made to install hacked games / channels homebrew.

The Homebrew channel can boot homebrews in ELF format without installing crap on your Wii

Does this still give you the middle finger?

Only when you used an hacked version of the Homebrew Channel.

There's a hacked version of the Homebrew Channel?

I updated my version by using the wiiload.exe. Worked fine.

Hey, how about adding some info on the first post, saying that you can update the homebrew channel from in the channel itself on your wii?

Very nice seeing all this progress with the homebrew channel,
but i'm in no hurry, will wait for version 1.0

Beta version doesn't mean bugged version. The channel may stay in beta version for years because there is a lot of work to do on it and they may not want to declare their channel "final" until all the features have been added.

There's a lot of final apps that are less stable than the Homebrew Channel.

I never had a single problem using beta apps, on my Wii or on my computer. My website stayed in alpha (omg, alpha !) for years and I had less bugs on it than the final version.

It's your choice but I don't see the problem using beta apps. Beta doesn't mean untested

When do you think they will get rid of the middle finger cursor.....It was a fun joke at first but now it's kinda lame looking at it everytime the channel boots up...

I love this. It looks professional, it works better than the official Nintendo channels, and the available software is already very awesome. Finally I've got the motivation to play Monkey Island 1. It's great fun with the Wiimote.

heh, well yeah, im not afraid of it because it's a Beta release ( i infact use alot of softwares, beeing Beta, sometimes alpha..), it's only that i haven't been bothered to try it yet (though it looks REALLY cool, nice, and useful)
beeing that nice and all, i was thinking that it soon would reach "1.0" , and that i would download it then. but i think i'll test this next week, when school's out

Ahh... Sorry to have badly understood your post

Before beta 7 was released, there was a 'sneak preview' version of the homebrew channel. It only allowed you to use it for 10 minutes in total. So other people hacked it and released a no-time-limit version of the channel. Now the 'final' version of the homebrew channel can detect if this hacked version has been installed, and if so, it gives you the middle finger icon.

Lucky I didn't install that then

Does it just check for the channel itself, or something which that channel left behind even after installation?
