The HomebrewFilter is an drop-in replacement for the Homebrew Channel - it allows Homebrew applications to be loaded and sorted, among other more outstanding opportunities.

Compared to the Homebrew Channel, the HomebrewFilter features the following additional functionality:

Boot GameCube Homebrew (device:/gc_apps/).
Boot into external loaders (Uniiloader, Priiloader, Neek2o, BootMii).
Load Homebrew from SD, USB, DVD, SD-Gecko Slot A, SD-Gecko Slot B or All.
Load Homebrew from FAT, NTFS or EXT2/3/4 formatted devices.
Categorize Homebrew (without the need to change directories).
Download additional content directly from within The HomebrewFilter:
- Fonts.
- Translations.
- Themes.
On-the-fly updates via network connectivity.
Child-lock mode.
Screen adjustment options.
Edit meta.xml from within the HomebrewFilter.
Debugging using USB Gecko, WiFi and SD-Card (SD:/config/HBF/debug.txt).

Installation

Starting with rev42 the HBF comes in 4 flavours:

Wii Installer - Installs the fullchannel for Wii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter/).
Wii Standalone - Standalone boot.dol with forwarderchannel for Wii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.Standalone/).
vWii Installer - Installs fullchannel for vWii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.vWii/).
vWii Standalone - Standalone boot.dol with forwarderchannel for vWii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.vWii.Standalone/).

Run the Installer from any Loader. Requirements: HW_AHBPROT access or IOS236.

For the standalone version, install the Forwarder using a WAD Manager and place the app-folder in USB(SD):/apps/.

All versions are updatable via online-update. Don't change paths – will result in non-working updates/forwarders.

Don't install vWii version on Wii and vice versa (channels won't load else).

Changelog

rev47

Build against libruntimeiospatch 1.5.3.
Rename "SD Gecko" to "SD Card Debug Log" in Settings.
Rename "Wifi Gecko" to "Wifi Debug Log" in Settings.
Only scan list of available IOS once per session.
Disable 'SD Card Gecko' by default (debug log on SD Card), because it's causing a MASSIVE slow down when opening an app's details dialog the first time in a session, when using a shitty class 2 or whatever SD Card..
Fixed that newly build vWii forwarder accidently was the same than the Wii forwarder.
Fixup BootMii (IOS) detection on Wii.
Fixup showing device icon for apps.
Add ISO0 (any version) to list of known stub IOS (it's a custom IOS installed by several old apps).
