How do you compile and install the open source Homebrew Channel both on Original Wii and vWii (which is on the Wii U)?



Hey, I'm using Windows 10 and I just found out about an open-source version of the homebrew channel. I downloaded it and extracted it. The README on fail0verflow's (https://github.com/fail0verflow/hbc) says that I need to execute the 'make' command on Wiipax first and then in the channel. So I tried Wiipax and it returned me with an error:

"/bin/sh: gcc: command not found
make[1]: *** [LzFind.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/Users/taimu/Desktop/hbc-master/wiipa...
"make": *** [all] Error 2"

It also says "You'll need the Wii common key installed as ~/.wii/common-key."

So, how do I 'install it as ~/.wii/common-key'?

Even though I used homebrew since 2012, I am still a complete noob at it, so return me with a complete and noob-friendly answer and explanation.

Thank you!

As in, a homebrew app downloader? If so, there is the Homebrew Browser (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Browser), but most of the apps on it are out of date.

Hello ppl!
I am noob on hacking Wii, and I have a question. I used the ModMii to install almost all features, and now I installed the Pimp My Wii, in this afternoon I am going to Install/Hack with to Pimp My Wii tool. But yesterday I installed the USB Loader GX and when tried to use it, but it loads, and turn back to the Wii menu. What's wrong?

PS.: My pendrive is WBFS format, and I added the game using the proper software.

I think this isn't the correct place to ask this, but I can't find a good place so...
If someone knows a better place please let me know.

I'm interested in what would be some fun places to explore in Super Mario Galaxy with infinite fly hack?

Just about anywhere can be fun, but maybe try Toy Time Galaxy? I forgot the best places because I haven't played it a while and have been playing SMG2 mostly.

I have homebrew channel on my wii already I believe I soft modded several years ago. I added games to my hdd and some show up on my usb loader gx and act like they are going to play then the screen goes blank. I am trying to figure out how to fix it. I have searched the web and believe I have a out dated usb loader gx and need to know what to do to update it if I can. I have already tried to link my wii to the internet and update but it says it is. It's version 3.0 like 240 or something. Can someone please help me? I do want to add that I kinda need a step by step because I see other answers and I tried to update my older usb loader and it didn't work. I don't know where to put a wad or app and what all I actually need. So I really need it broken down or a place that has it step by step. Thank you in advance.

A lot of people who are using FLASH DRIVES instead of actual USB hard-drives have this problem. It is HIGHLY ill-advised to continue using a flash drive, because they aren't designed for games to be installed on. They're for simple reading/writing operations only. USB-loading ISOs will wear-and-tear your flash drive very, very quickly.

If you're using an actual hard drive, try updating your cIOSes with ModMii, and/or use a different USB loader. Some USB loaders work better with some drives than others, not sure why...that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

 

[GreyWolf]

Reading from flash memory doesn't wear it out. Lots of write cycles with no wear leveling will.

I'm not 100% sure what the Wii's problem with flash drives is. My guess is the EHCI modules in the IOSes don't support something that a flash drive needs. If you can find one that acts as a mass storage device rather than a removable drive it would probably work fine but those are a lot more expensive.

You can try this method and see if it makes the drive work any better: https://www.reddit.com/r/WiiHacks/comments/2z1ei5/usb_loader_gx_freezes_or_hangs_at_initialize_usb/

Make sure you get the 32-bit BootIce rather than 64-bit one as the latter doesn't seem to have the alignment option.
