Wii Homebrew Launcher
v0.11
Wii Homebrew Launcher is an interface similar to that of the Wii menu. It allows you to start homebrew stored on your SD card in the Wii front SD slot. Each program is represented by its own customizable "channel".

* Copy boot.elf to an SD card
* Create a folder named 'HOMEBREW' or 'APPS' on the root of the SD card, USB-flash, DVD or a SMB directory share (Windows share).
* For each homebrew:
o Create a folder in the homebrew folder (X:\homebrew\12345678)
o Place The elf or dol in that folder and name it "boot.elf" or "boot.dol"
o OPTIONAL: For a custom name: add a "title.txt" containing the channel's title
o OPTIONAL: For a custom image: add a "title.png" 132x95 pixels.
* Any files related to a homebrew can be put anywhere, despite what it may seem in the example.

Is there any reason to use this instead of the HBC?

Only if you prefer the look, I guess

What's changed in this version?

If it runs homebrew from all these places at the same time, I consider it better than the HBC.

Only problem I find, is that homebrew all uses the SD slot for files, so if you don't have a SD in the slot, you can't use most homebrew =[

Newb here.

I don't understand the Twilight Hack, is this something like it?

Where do I get boot.elf?

Will this work if my Wii is fully updated?

I'd like to see a better explanation of how this works please.

I can't get the official site to load.

Thank you!!
