Tutorial How to fix the HomeBrew Browser in six easy steps!

[banjo2]

it still dosent work for me

I haven't really touched the HBB for a while, so I'm not sure what the problem may be. Really, it isn't a good source, as most of the homebrew there is outdated.

Mofo why you necrobumping this? Just use the OSC version of HBB and it should work. Make sure server is set to 0

It's not really necrobumping when the previous posts were only last October, and I'm the only mofo here.

This is a tutorial on how to fix the HBB. I have seen a lot of people on Wii Chatter asking about this problem, so i'm making this post.

Step one: Put your SD Card in your computer (unless you have WiiExplorer, which you can fix it with).
Step two: Open your SD Card and go into apps, then the Homebrew Browser folder.
Step three: Open the file called "settings.xml" with Notepad.
Step four: find the text "setting_server="0" .
Step five: change the 0 to 1.
Step six: put the SD Card in your Wii and go to HBB and voila! It works!

I hope this guide helped. Though I suggest using WiiBrew for getting apps from. They have a much more up-to-date library of apps and you really don't need to be on PC for that either. Just go to WiiBrew on PC and download WiiBrowser, an internet browser that can download files (not to be confused with WiiExplorer). The version on HBB is out-of-date. I also suggest WiiExplorer (again, the version on HBB is out of date), a file browser for Wii. It has many uses and I have used it tons of times. Hope this helps!

I don't understand, IOS files don't have to be on an NTFS filesystem, you can install them just fine with FAT32.

If by "nothing was there" you mean your files were gone, well, that's what happens when you format a drive.

I've never heard of IOS files being that big. Anyways, I don't really know why that happened, I haven't touched the HBB in years.

I used your top and it worked as of today. Thanks!

Even though I pasted the new settings.xml text, my homebrew browser install code is stuck on "Requesting repositories list...". Is there any way to fix this issue and successfully install the Homebrew Browser?

Just download the latest homebrew browser, iirc it's just pointing to a dif endpoint. No need for any special tweaks these days as far as I'm aware
