I tried to find a megathread for vwii Homebrew Channel, but I didn't find one.

I can't see any apps when I go into VWII and open up the Homebrew Channel. It displays the background of Vwii Homebrew Channel, but no apps.

- I am using the latest version of Tiramisu.
- The apps are in the apps folder in the root of the SD card. root/apps/nintendon't
- Each app has the boot.dol and the meta.xml.
- The SD Card is formatted to Fat32.
- the SD card is NOT locked.
- I am using Vwii to open the Homebrew channel.

I would like to be able to use Vwii apps because I can't find a wad manager for the WIIU Homebrew Launcher. I can only find a Wad manager for the VWII Homebrew Channel.

I am using Vwii to open the Homebrew Channel.

Let me know if you have any ideas for what the problem could be. I don't know how the Homebrew Channel got onto my console. It is just there. Thanks.

Perhaps your HBC is configured for usb apps instead of sdcard. iirc you have to press the 1 button to configure the location and change it to sd

I just checked on this and it is set to SD. Setting it to USB and back to SD didn't change it. :(

I also just reinstalled vWii following method 1 on this guide with no change.

UPDATE: I reformatted the SD card and now it can see apps! I don't know why this worked since it was already formatted correctly.

He I'm have problems with the homebrew channel apps but I did the dns trick over hotspot I'm wondering if it could be that or if it's something else please get back to me when you can and have an amazing day.

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select

    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:

    @BigOnYa, How do I make enemies respawn on gdevelop after
    the player dies?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Carrying a PC or phone is so old school!
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Squeeze your cheeks twice to answer calls!
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty you can use a "spawner" function on any object.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or when your player dies, you can say in code, if enemy exists, do nothing, but if enemy does not exist, then create enemy at certain spot. (This would be a pain tho for lots of emeies)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Easiest, simple way would be just restart scene, but player would restart from beginning.
