The Homebrew Channel v1.1.2 Copyright (C) 2007-2012 Team Twiizers, all rights reserved. All rights reserved; do not redistribute 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
