As of September 2016, the Homebrew App store can be launched by [http://wiiubru.com/go simply going here] on your Wii U with an SD card.
−==Video==
−Check out the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC8SdRMTidg here].
−[[File:Hbas screenshot.png|640px|center]]
There are three components that can currently be customized:+* The splash screen: place your own "splash.png" in sd:/wiiu/apps/appstore/resources/splash.png
−* The music: place your own "screampics.mp3" in sd:/wiiu/apps/appstore/resources/screampics.mp3
−* The repository: place a "repository.txt" file in sd:/wiiu/apps/appstore/repository.txt
−
−For the images and music, they must be png and mp3 respectively. For repository.txt, it should be a file that contains only the desired repository url, no newlines or anything.
−==Self-Hosting==
−There's no real need to self-host your own HBAS repo, but if you're interested you can check out the web folder in the GitHub repository. Inside there's a python script that can assist in building a directory, which can then be hosted locally or on a server.

−The '''Homebrew App Store''' allows the user to download, manage and update homebrew apps for the Wii U directly to an SD card. It is inspired by the [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Browser Homebrew Browser] available on the original Wii. The standalone app has no central repo, and requires a repo to be set up in order for it to be used properly.

−The Homebrew App Store allows you to download homebrew apps for [[Homebrew Launcher|HBL]] directly in the app. Installed apps can also be reinstalled, updated or deleted. The apps are sorted into individual categories. It is an attempt at a poor man's Cydia for the Wii U!

Unzip the "appstore" folder from the zip at the above download link. This is the bundled HBAS app. Place this folder inside the <code>/apps/wiiu/</code> folder on your SD card. After this, run HBL and select it from the menu.

* An app button was pressed, but no window opens - Pressing the buttons waits for the server to respond, so it may respond once the metadata download is complete.

−place your own "background.mp3" in sd:/wiiu/apps/appstore/background.mp3 to change the background song
−The HBAS binary currently expects a /directory.yaml file, and then a /apps/ folder, which contains HBL-compatible apps folder (like <code>sd:/wiiu/apps/</code>). You can setup the directory.yaml file without using the python script, but the script makes it easier. Once your have your server setup, you will need to create a <code>repository.txt</code> file on your SD card to point HBAS to it (see [[#Customization]]).
