# The Homebrew Channel
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This repository contains the public release of the source code for
|
||
|
|
The Homebrew Channel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Included portions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The Homebrew Channel
|
||
|
|
* Reload stub
|
||
|
|
* Banner
|
||
|
|
* PyWii (includes Alameda for banner creation)
|
||
|
|
* WiiPAX (LZMA executable packer)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not included:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Installer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the code in this repository differs from the source code used to build
|
||
|
|
the official version of The Homebrew Channel, which includes additional
|
||
|
|
protection features (i.e. we had to add reverse-DRM to stop scammers from
|
||
|
|
selling it).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This code is released with no warranty, and hasn't even been tested on a real
|
||
|
|
Wii, only under Dolphin (yes, this release runs under Dolphin).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Build instructions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need DevkitPPC and libogc installed, and the DEVKITPRO/DEVKITPPC environment
|
||
|
|
variables correctly set. Use the latest available versions. Make sure you have
|
||
|
|
libogc/libfat, and also install the following 3rd party libraries:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* zlib
|
||
|
|
* libpng
|
||
|
|
* mxml
|
||
|
|
* freetype
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can download binaries of those
|
||
|
|
[here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/portlibs/ppc/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, you'll need the following packages on your host machine:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* pycryptodome (for PyWii)
|
||
|
|
* libpng headers (libpng-dev)
|
||
|
|
* gettext
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The build process has only been tested on Linux. You're on your own if you
|
||
|
|
want to try building this on OSX or Windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First run 'make' in wiipax, then 'make' in channel. You'll find a .wad file
|
||
|
|
that you can install or directly run with Dolphin under
|
||
|
|
channel/title/channel_retail.wad. You'll also find executable binaries under
|
||
|
|
channel/channelapp, but be advised that the NAND save file / theme storage
|
||
|
|
features won't work properly if HBC isn't launched as a channel with its
|
||
|
|
correct title identity/permissions.
