| |
| − | The '''Homebrew Channel''' is a self-updating homebrew application loader by [[Team Twiizers]] which allows users to load [[homebrew applications]] without having to run an exploit every time. Once installed, users can access the channel from the Wii System Menu just like any other Wii channel. It can launch or install homebrew applications from an SD or SDHC card or via TCP/USB Gecko using [[Wiiload]]. You can install the Homebrew Channel as part of the [http://bootmii.org/download/ HackMii Installer] by seeing the [[Homebrew Channel#Installation|Installation]] part of this page.

| − | === Using a loader ===
| |
| − | # Download the [http://bootmii.org/download/ HackMii Installer].
| |
| − | # Extract the HackMii Installer to find the boot.elf
| |
| − | # Place the boot.elf file in the root (SD:/ ) of your SD card.
| |
| − | # Boot the loader that will work for your [[System Menu]].
| |
| − | # Wait for the Hackmii Installer to run tests on your Wii
| |
| − | # Press {{Wiimote1Button}} when told to continue installing HBC and [[BootMii]]. <strike>NOTE: Newer Wii Remotes with WiiMotion+ integrated will not work with the Hackmii Installer. You'll need to use (borrow from a friend?) the older Wii Remote style and perform a red-button synchronisation on the System Menu to use the Hackmii Installer.</strike> As in Hackmii Installer v1.0, Wii Remotes with WiiMotion+ will work.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The installation should be automatic from this point on, and your Wii will reboot.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Using a DVD ===
| |
| − | The DVD method requires a [[drivechip]] and won't work with the [[June16 update|3.3 firmware update]] or newer. DVD images for the more recent versions are currently unavailable, though you can install beta8 and then update.
| |
| − | <!--<Youtube>6ji2imug_bc</Youtube>-->
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Using a previous unsigned code-loading method ===
| |
| − | If you have an older version of the Homebrew Channel or another means of executing unsigned code, you can use the auto update function to install the latest version.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Configuring Applications ==
| |
| − | In order to make an application appear in the Homebrew Channel, the following steps must be taken:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Make a folder on the root of your SD card called "apps".
| |
| − | # In the folder "apps," create a folder for the application (for this example, [[ScummVM]] will be used).
| |
| − | # Copy the files for the application into its folder (e.g. apps/scummvm/).
| |
| − | # Find the executable file (either .elf or .dol) and rename it to boot.elf (or boot.dol if it was a .dol file) if it is not already named that (e.g. apps/scummvm/boot.dol). If the app comes with these files, copy the icon.png and meta.xml files into this folder.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now the application will appear in the Homebrew Channel. However, if the application did not come with icon.png or meta.xml, its appearance on the menu is ugly, and difficult to distinguish from other applications. To fix this, text and an image can be added.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Adding Text ===
| |
| − | To add text to an application in the Homebrew Channel, do the following: (note: you may install the [[Homebrew Browser]] and download pre-formatted apps without performing this step for every app)
| |
| − | <ol>
| |
| − | <li>Make a file in the folder of the application (e.g. apps/ScummVM/) called "meta.xml" (e.g. apps/ScummVM/meta.xml).</li>
| |
| − | <li>Open "meta.xml" in Notepad and add the following text as a template:</li>
| |
| − | <source lang="xml">
| |
| − | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
| |
| − | <app version="1">
| |
| − | <name></name>
| |
| − | <coder></coder>
| |
| − | <version></version>
| |
| − | <release_date></release_date>
| |
| − | <short_description></short_description>
| |
| − | <long_description></long_description>
| |
| − | </app>
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | <li>Add the appropriate information in between the relevant indicators. For example, the name of the application goes between '''<name>''' and '''</name>'''. The purpose of each field is as follows:</li>
| |
| − | <source lang="xml">
| |
| − | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
| |
| − | <app version="1">
| |
| − | <name>The name of the application</name>
| |
| − | <coder>The name of the person or group that wrote the code for the program.</coder>
| |
| − | <version>The version of the application.</version>
| |
| − | <release_date>The data the application was released.
| |
| − | It has to be a timestamp using this format: YYYYmmddHHMMSS</release_date>
| |
| − | <short_description>This is displayed on the main menu of the Homebrew Channel
| |
| − | (before you select an application) and is used as a space to add a few words
| |
| − | to describe the program.</short_description>
| |
| − | <long_description>This is displayed once the application is chosen. It describes
| |
| − | the program and its function in great detail, and can be used to elaborate
| |
| − | on a program's controls.</long_description>
| |
| − | </app>
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | </ol>
| |
| − | An example of a completed "meta.xml" for ScummVM is provided below:
| |
| − | <source lang="xml">
| |
| − | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
| |
| − | <app version="1">
| |
| − | <name>ScummVM</name>
| |
| − | <coder>dhewg</coder>
| |
| − | <version>rev32231</version>
| |
| − | <release_date>20080523000000</release_date>
| |
| − | <short_description>Point & Click Adventures</short_description>
| |
| − | <long_description>ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic
| |
| − | graphical point-and-click adventure games,provided you already have their
| |
| − | data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables
| |
| − | shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they
| |
| − | were never designed! Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure
| |
| − | Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky,
| |
| − | Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit
| |
| − | the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia
| |
| − | and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion)
| |
| − | system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more.

| |
| − | '''Q:''' Is this required to get full hardware access?
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Adding an Icon ===
| |
| − | :''See also: [[Homebrew Channel icons]]''
| |
| − | In order to make icons for the Homebrew Channel show up, they must be in .png format with dimensions of 128x48 pixels. The full alpha channel can be used. Copy it into the folder of the application under the name "icon.png" (e.g. apps/scummvm/icon.png).
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Complete Setup Format ===
| |
| − | You should have a compatible SD or SDHC card. See [[SD/SDHC Card Compatibility Tests|here]] for a list of SD and SDHC cards known to be compatible or incompatible. Note: it is by no means a complete list.
| |
| − | | |
| − | An SD card should be formatted in FAT16 or FAT32.
| |
| − | After you have installed the apps on your SD card, its folder structure should look something like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Removable Disk (eg: (E:) on Windows and where it is mounted to on Linux or Mac OS X eg: /media/disk/ )
| |
| − | **apps
| |
| − | ***[[ScummVM]]
| |
| − | ****boot.dol
| |
| − | ****meta.xml(Optional)
| |
| − | ****icon.png(Optional)
| |
| − | ***WiiShopInstaller
| |
| − | ****boot.dol
| |
| − | ****meta.xml(Optional)
| |
| − | ****icon.png(Optional)
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you have any problems having your Applications showing up on the 'HBC', make sure you are following the correct format.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Loading from USB ===
| |
| − | Apps on your USB storage device are stored like on a SD card.
| |

| − | == Uninstall ==
| |
| − | Removing the channel can be done by simply deleting it with the channel management in the Wii system software.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Compatibility ==
| |
| − | {{cleanup|section}}
| |
| − | Note: The Homebrew Channel requires that you system have at least one unpatched [[IOS]] in order to guarantee reliable performance; we've received too many bug reports that were later traced to misbehaving versions of IOS. The HackMii Installer will automatically choose an appropriate (unpatched) IOS to use when installing the Homebrew Channel; if you attempt to defeat this safety measure by replacing its IOS with a corrupted version, you may experience an "impaired HBC experience" (an upside-down screen or a warning message at every startup). Please just don't do it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Themes ==
| |
| − | As of 1.0.7, The Homebrew Channel is capable of theming. The images and fonts are stored in a theme.zip, which can be executed like a boot.dol from the Homebrew Channel.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For a theme database and a "How to install" guide, check [[Homebrew_Channel/Themes|this page]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Further details on this can be found at [http://hackmii.com/2010/08/theming-the-homebrew-channel/ Hackmii].
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Fonts ===
| |
| − | As for 1.1.0, you can use your own TrueType or OpenType fonts with The Homebrew Channel. You can assign a font, size, and color to individual GUI elements:
| |
| − | | |
| − | {| class="wikitable"
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ! element ID !! meaning
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | label || Labels (background info, group headings, "Author" and "Version")
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | button || Buttons (and "radio" buttons)
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | button_desel || Radio buttons (not currently selected)
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | dlgtitle || Message box title
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | memo || Text box (description or message)
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | appname || Application name in main browser
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | appdesc || Application description in main browser
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each font can be specified using a <font> element inside the theme.xml file. You can specify the file, size, and color like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <source lang="xml">
| |
| − | <font target="memo,dlgtitle">
| |
| − | <file>foo.ttf</file>
| |
| − | <size>16</size>
| |
| − | <color><red>0</red><green>0</green><blue>0</blue><alpha>255</alpha></color>
| |
| − | </font>
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | | |
| − | As you can see, each <font> element can be assigned to one or multiple targets, separated by commas. There can also be a single <font> element with no target attribute that overrides the defaults for the entire theme. The rule is that for each font, each parameter (size, color, font name) gets individually looked up first in a <font> element with the specific target; if it doesn't exist or doesn't have that parameter, it gets looked up in the base <font> element, and if that doesn't exist or doesn't have that parameter, the default is used. You should no longer use the old <font_color> element (though it is still supported for backwards compatibility).
| |
| − | | |
| − | As an example, the following theme.xml (combined with the appropriate TTF files) sets up the fonts exactly the same way as they are by default, but without actually falling back to the defaults:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <source lang="xml">
| |
| − | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
| |
| − | <theme version="1">
| |
| − | <description>Droid Sans font</description>
| |
| − | <font>
| |
| − | <file>DroidSans-Bold.ttf</file>
| |
| − | <size>16</size>
| |
| − | </font>
| |
| − | <font target="button,dlgtitle,appname">
| |
| − | <size>20</size>
| |
| − | </font>
| |
| − | <font target="memo">
| |
| − | <file>DroidSans.ttf</file>
| |
| − | <size>16</size>
| |
| − | </font>
| |
| − | <font target="button_desel">
| |
| − | <file>DroidSans.ttf</file>
| |
| − | <size>20</size>
| |
| − | </font>
| |
| − | </theme></source>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additionally, you can specify that the theme supports certain CKJ languages in its fonts, to enable those translations (though currently only Japanese is supported). Specify the language codes separated by commas as the langs attribute of the main <theme> element:
| |
| − | <source lang="xml"><theme version="1" langs="ja"></source>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Keep in mind that the button and button_desel fonts should always be different in some way (weight, size, color). Otherwise, you will not be able to tell the currently selected options in the options menu.

| |
| − | === Pop the Bubbles! ===
| |
| − | Being able to pop the bubbles in the background of the HBC was a frequent request, and as of 1.0, it is possible.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Press {{Nowrap begin}}{{Wiimote2Button}} '''+''' {{Wiimote1Button}}{{Nowrap end}} and the animated background will be the only thing visible, along with a score counter in the bottom right hand corner. Place the hand cursor over any bubble and it will pop, spawning smaller bubbles and adding to the score counter. The smaller bubbles can also be popped. When you are done, press {{Nowrap begin}}{{Wiimote2Button}} '''+''' {{Wiimote1Button}}{{Nowrap end}} again to return to the list of applications.
| |
| − | If you leave the wii on this screen for too long, it will crash.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''NOTE''': As of version HBC 1.0.5 the Pop the bubbles (with scoring) is removed. You can still pop the bubbles (without scoring) by pointing at the bubbles as usual, but you cannot prompt a score board. You can also remove the SD Card (and/or USB drive) to make more room on the screen.
