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!
Release notes:
Also I might point out that HBB v0.3.3 Revision 1 is out for testing. Please let me know if you have any issues with downloading apps to USB.

MiiSX is an MSX 1/MSX 2/MSX 2+ emulator for the Nintendo Wii.
Based on fMSX-SDL, so far, it’s a pretty basic emulator. It doesn’t support either SCC, MSX Music or MSX Audio, only PSG.
Only uncompressed ROM files can be loaded, and there’s no keyboard implemented (so only games that work with joystick will be playable). PSG emulation is still problematic.
Features:
– The emulator can run MSX 1, MSX 2 and MSX 2+ games, in ROM format, from SD cards.
– SDHC supported
– Classic Controller and Wiimote supported, as joystick 1
– Basic menu, for selecting ROM file, and changing emulated system.
– Homebrew Channel compatible
Changes:
SCC emulation (enabled or disabled with “-” on start menu)
PSG emulation without problems
Several optimizations
Bugfixes
“X” on Classic Controller now emulates joy button 1+2, good for games like “Zanac†and “Aleste”
