Hacking homebrew channel doesn't read my sd

[MelonSmasher]

Hello guys,

I just installed the amizing homebrew channel. After that i tried to use some cool app but if i load the channel it comes up with zero items.
I tried every possible way of indexing my sd card.

put the files in:
app/s
root
etc

alot more , could someone tell me how to fix this?

SD Card, Remember the Wii doesn't read SDHC so you are limited to 2GB or less

Begin by formatting your SD card to FAT16 if it is not already (in Windows it's just called "FAT")

In order to make an application appear in the Homebrew Channel, the following steps must be taken:
Make a folder on the root of your SD card called "apps".
In the folder "apps," create a folder for the application (for this example, ScummVM will be used).
Copy the files for the application into its folder (e.g. apps/scummvm/).
Find the executable file (either .elf or .dol) and rename it to boot.elf (or boot.dol if it was a .dol file) if it is not already named that (e.g. apps/scummvm/boot.dol). If the app comes with these files, copy the icon.png and meta.xml files into this folder.

Now the application will appear in the Homebrew Channel.
