Update instructions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have previously installed The Homebrew Channel, you can update it. If
|
||
|
|
this is the first time you are installing it, see README.txt for installation
|
||
|
|
instructions. The easiest way to update is using the built-in online update
|
||
|
|
functionality. Simply configure the WiFi network settings for your Wii for
|
||
|
|
proper Internet connectivity, and boot up the channel. If the connection is
|
||
|
|
established, you'll see an opaque white (not semitransparent) world icon
|
||
|
|
in the lower right corner, and an update prompt will automatically appear.
|
||
|
|
Accept it to begin downloading the update. If you cannot or do not want to
|
||
|
|
connect your Wii to the Internet, simply run the boot.elf file using any
|
||
|
|
homebrew booting method. For example, you can upload it using wiiload or
|
||
|
|
you can make a directory inside /apps (for example, /apps/Update) and copy
|
||
|
|
boot.elf there. Then, simply run it from the previous version of The Homebrew
|
||
|
|
Channel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Adding and customizing apps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All user applications should be stored in their own subdirectory inside of
|
||
|
|
apps/; some examples have been provided. Each subdirectory should have at
|
||
|
|
least three files; ScummVM will be used as an example.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* apps/ScummVM/boot.elf main executable to be loaded
|
||
|
|
* apps/ScummVM/icon.png icon to be displayed in The Homebrew Channel
|
||
|
|
Menu; should be 128 x 48 pixels
|
||
|
|
* apps/ScummVM/meta.xml XML description of the channel. This format
|
||
|
|
might change for future releases of The
|
||
|
|
Homebrew channel, but we will try to remain
|
||
|
|
backwards-compatible. See
|
||
|
|
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel
|
||
|
|
for information on what data should be included
|
||
|
|
in this file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Staying current with new releases:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Relax, you will not need to do anything to keep up with new releases of the
|
||
|
|
Homebrew Channel. When a new version is available, a message will appear
|
||
|
|
giving you the option to download and install the new version, if your Wii
|
||
|
|
is configured to connect to the Internet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Uninstallation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may uninstall the channel as you would any other channel, by using the Data
|
||
|
|
Management screen of the Wii Menu. Erasing every last trace of The Homebrew
|
||
|
|
Channel is not practical on a complex system such as the Wii. If a need
|
||
|
|
arises, we will develop a more thorough uninstaller application.

Reminder about elf files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Old ELF files were incorrect and will not work. Please use DOL files or
|
||
|
|
recompile with the latest version of devkitPPC. You can use the following
|
||
|
|
command to convert a broken ELF file to a DOL file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
powerpc-gekko-objcopy -O binary boot.elf boot.dol
|
||
|
