Homebrew applications

From WiiBrew
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This page gives an overview of released homebrew apps. The Twilight Hack and the new Homebrew Channel are currently the only ways to run the apps on an unmodified console. Go to the peripheral info page for a list of what Peripherals the applications support.

DO NOT add projects which have no public release. The In development section is for that. This is also not a place to produce your wishlist.

Before you use

  • As with all unsigned code in the homebrew community all applications may be dangerous if used incorrectly; for support with it, please contact the developer of the program.

Note to developers

  • It is important to include a video autodetect routine and a way to return to the loader or restart. Go to the Developer Tips page for more information.
  • With the release of the Homebrew Channel please include an icon.png and meta.xml file for easy installation for end users.
  • There are also some Development Tools you may need.
  • It's probably a good idea to include the Homebrew Possibly Dangerous and maybe the Homebrew Dangerous if Misused templates on your homebrew page (add {{HomebrewPossiblyDangerous}}, and maybe {{HomebrewDangerous}} at the top of the page), for safety reasons.
  • To keep things tidy, instead of a folder on the root of the sd card, put it in a folder called data, so fat0:\data\XXXXX
