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.

Pac has updated his First Person Shooter AlienDS for Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

Hey, it’s going well, I’ve been getting sidetracked trying different things.

First of all, I’ve uploaded a new version, grab it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1zddnlozyvl

This version should be considered a test, it only has one level and it’s not even very good(it’s the one I’ve used to try new things) but should give you an idea of the changes I’ve been introducing. I’ll try to explain a bit what I’ve been doing.

First of all I’ve changed the map size from 32×32 to 64×64 tiles. Because it’s a tilemap, and because of the way it’s rendered, there’s no real limit to map size other than the DS memory, but there’s is a limit on the amount of interactive elements a map could have (doors, aliens…) before it starts to slowdown so I feel that 64×64 is a good size. Also a bigger map, given the game design, would be a drag.
The change in map size forced me to change the way the map screen works, I think the result is better than what I had before though.
I’ve changed the aliens a bit too. Before I placed them by hand, now th DS gives them random starting positions so every time they are in different places. I’ve also implemented triggers, that can create aliens when you activate them. It means that now aliens can appear behind you when you enter a room or grab a key and things like that. All this, together with the map size has increased the number of aliens a lot, I think It should be less boring. It’s also very customizable so in the final game I’ll introduce difficulty levels.
There are also a lot of new scenery elements and I’ve corrected a few bugs. I’ve also learned a few new things about the machine ( remember that I’m really new to the DS) and now the whole thing is more efficient and uses less memory.
Right now I’m working on the level generator, with the level size increase and the lack of an editor (yeah I’m lazy) level creation has become a bit of a chore and if I can get it working like I want to you’ll have infinite levels, so I think it’s worth a try. After that I’ll make the new weapons (shotgun and flame-thrower). Both are halfway implemented but I still want to improve some things, especially the aliens reactions.
So i’ll stop the rant now. Please give it a try and tell me what you think
