Hacking I have a problem with Homebrew channel on vWii HELP!

[Linky97]

I used smashstack to put homebrew channel on vWii. Everything worked. I installed The Homebrew Channel just fine but when i start the hombrew channel it doesnt show the apps/homebrew that i have put on the SD card... Why is that happening? The SD card is not the problem cuz i used it to install smashstack. And yes i did put the apps in private/wii/app folder.

BTW its an 1GB sandisk.

Make sure your files are set up like this:
SD:\apps\any_folder\boot.dol
SD:\apps\any_folder\meta.xml
SD:\apps\any_folder\icon.png

SD:\apps\any_folder\boot.dol
SD:\apps\any_folder\meta.xml
SD:\apps\any_folder\icon.png

How do you mean?

I'm asking if that's the architecture you have. You can replace "any_folder" with something else, but the rest needs to be set up like that.

So for example xyzzy folder has a boot.dol file, icon.png file and meta.xml file. Should i put the .dol, .png and the .xml file all in seperate folders? or am i completely wrong?

You need to set it up like this:
SD:\apps\xyzzy\boot.dol
SD:\apps\xyzzy\meta.xml
SD:\apps\xyzzy\icon.png

The apps go in /apps. Not in /private/wii/app. That location is for save data from official games and such.
Can't believe I was the first one to point that out. JoostinOnline, i am disappoint.

Really?? So i have to have 3 xyzzy files in the apps folder like this SD:\private\wii\apps\xyzzy\boot.dol
\xyzzy\meta.xml
\xyzzy\icon.png

Or do i have to have 3 apps folders in the wii folder like this SD:\private\wii\apps\xyzzy\boot.dol
\apps\xyzzy\meta.xml
\apps\xyzzy\icon.png
?

That might not have been in the original version (it was edited). If it was, then I blame Canada or something.

@OP They DO NOT go in the SD:\private\wii\apps folder.

no apps go in the private folder

(sd card):\apps\(app name)\(files for app)


SD card = whatever drive the SD card shows as

apps = leave that name as is

App Name = whatever that folder was in the compressed file, usually already in an "apps" folder........different apps get different folders

files for app = .dol, .png, and .xml files that go to said app
