*** IMPORTANT *** Please read before posting about Homebrew on the Wii.
It seems unfair that the DS gets it's own "legal homebrew" thread but we still have none for the Wii.
So here is a thread dedicated to Homebrew Discussion.
In here, you can discuss anything about the hundreds of LEGAL homebrew games/apps, as well as the latest firmware discussion (if it pertains to new homebrews or releases) relating to the Wii. For those of you not in the know, there actually is plenty of software around that does not require a modchip or any "hardware alteration" at all and furthermore, is entirely legal to use.
So, for instance, if you want to discuss how a new firmware allows a particular piece of homebrew to function/stop functioning stick it in here. If you want to talk about the latest port of a particular game like e.g. Asteroids, it goes here. If you want to find out details about a new utility that checks the integrity of the SD card, it goes here....etc etc.
Basically, all Wii Homebrew goes here
.
Before I go on, can I categorically state that:
So, back to Homebrew, the main areas for Homebrew use are the installation of homebrew games and utilities, the ability to allow the Wii to play DVD's, the ability to allow the Wii to be multiregion, and many others.
All homebrew discussion stays here ... dupe threads or posts in the wrong threads will be either Locked, Merged or simply Deleted.
Please ensure you use the Search function prior to posting (as your Q has usually been asked before) and re-check that you are indeed posting in the correct place
.
Also, the basics of Homebrew and Hardware for the Wii can be found in it's Wikipaedia entry. Please read this as well as it may also answer your question
.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter
.
Right, so onto the post
Firstly it's worth checking out The WiiBrew Wiki of current 'brew, to understand how things work.
Notice, they also don't discuss piracy on their site, only legal applications
. There is a complete list of homebrew apps here.
The other page most commonly "wanted" will be that of The Homebrew Channel. This is a 3rd party channel that allows you to browse and launch homebrew from the SD card (no more worrying about filling up the internal memory
), and Gecko OS that allows your Wii to be region free
.
There are also plenty of emulators and games available too.
Just to reiterate one last time, feel free to discuss all these legal things and more, DO NOT try to discuss ANY form of piracy in here.
Thank you
