The HomebrewFilter is an drop-in replacement for the Homebrew Channel Wii - 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

Run the Installer from any Loader (HBC, whatever). Requirements: HW_AHBPROT access or IOS236.

For the standalone Version install the Forwarder using a WAD Manager and place the app-folder in SD/USB:/apps/

Media

Flavours

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/)

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).
