The Homebrew Browser allows you to download the latest homebrew applications and games all through your Wii. You don’t need to take your SD card out. You don’t even need a computer! You can also delete homebrew you no longer want.
No more dead links, no more extracting files, no more finding out that the homebrew application doesn’t include an icon.png and meta.xml in the zip file!
Changes:
Speed up extracting using updated libfat (speeds up download too, but it’s not noticeable)
Added USB support (plug in your USB device before booting HBB and turn off “Use SD†in settings)
Added sorting of applications by name
Added delete functionality to the queue (press minus to queue an application to be deleted)
Added download and extract information (MB downloaded/MB total, Extracted files/Files to extract)
Added a check to make sure Wii Network is initialised and active before downloading applications
Fixed bug where you couldn’t cancel the download queue if you had download prompt enabled
Fixed bug where the meta.xml file name would change back to normal when you updated an application (this allows you to keep your custom name of applications)
Release notes:
The Homebrew Browser has now been upgraded to v0.3.3. The main features are you can now download apps to USB and the speed of extracting has improved too.
