Channel File Manager is based on WAD Manager 1.21 and you can manage your Wii channel menu. You can install devices from your choice and uninstall.

Changes:

– Adding a Multilingual interface. The language of homebrew will depend on that of your Wii console. For the moment, only the French and English are supported. English is the default language.
– Adding a detection system with which the homebrew is launched:
* If the homebrew is launched from a loader, will return to the homebrew loader
* If the homebrew is launched from a chain, will return to the homebrew Wii Menu
– There will be a longer version, Cahsman believing that now everyone has a Custom IOS compatible.
– Compatibility Homebrew Channel 9 Beta

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.

Changes:

Using dol instead of elf to work with HBC beta 9

Out of no where the HBC was updated to Beta 9 and what you might have figured out is that the HBC now only loads valid ELF files. This was news to me and as far as I’m aware they didn’t tell any homebrew developers about this. The only way you’d know about it is by reading the new README file that’s included or trying to run a elf file. It would have been nice if they had told us about this new ELF feature before they released it.

Those of you who have updated to HBC Beta 9 will have to re-download the HBB manually.

Download HBB v0.2.3b or run HBB on your Wii to update (you will need to update twice).

I was working on showing all the applications on your SD card before the newest HBC came out. You can view them by moving your cursor to the top left corner of the screen and pressing A.

The Homebrew Channel is a homebrew application loader by Team Twiizers which allows users to load homebrew applications without having to run the Twilight Hack every time. Once installed, users can access the channel from the Wii Menu just like any other Wii channel. It can launch homebrew applications in dol or elf — either from an SD card, or via TCP or USB Gecko using Wiiload. It is also capable of downloading online updates for itself.
