The Homebrew Browser allows you to download the latest homebrew applications and games all through your Wii. You don’t need to take your SD card out. You don’t even need a computer! You can also delete homebrew you no longer want.

No more dead links, no more extracting files, no more finding out that the homebrew application doesn’t include an icon.png and meta.xml in the zip file!

Note: Not all applications/games are included yet. They will be added over time.

• One click download and install for each homebrew application
• One click deletion of homebrew applications
• One click update for homebrew apps
• Auto updating when your Homebrew Browser version is out of date

This new version of the Twilight Hack is compatible with version 3.3 of the Wii System Menu, using the workarounds explained in previous posts. Thanks to everyone on IRC who contributed to the search for the bugs, and to tmbinc and tehpola for finding the two bugs that make this possible.

Changelog for this release:

• The Twilight Hack is now compatible with version 3.3 of the Wii System Menu.
• Improvements in video configuration. The entire console should now be visible in all video modes, and scrolling has been improved.
• For the USA version, the two variants of the hack have been packed into one save file. Just select the save slot that corresponds to your version of Twilight Pricess when you start the game.
• New savegame icons by drmr. The new icons now show which region that version of the hack is for.
• This version now tries to load boot.dol, and falls back to boot.elf if boot.dol is not found.
• ???????
• Many, many bug fixes.

Download it here. Head over to Wiibrew for more information and updates. See the included README for installation and usage instructions.

Another alternative to the higher price of the USB Gecko, is the SD Gecko. An SD Gecko, or Clone can be had for around $20 on ebay. They are identical to our previous instructional post on how to create your own! The only difference is these are on a nice pcb board with sd card spring loader.

A simple web-server for the Wii.

alpha v0.23

• Now doesn’t have to restart the server to serve more than one page (i.e presseing B then A)
• Quitting the server is from a server path of “/quit”

alpha v0.22

• Handles links

alpha v0.21

• Now detects the HTTP/1.x version as requested by the browser

Now lets take a look at it!

First off if you have not already it installed, it would be wise to install “The Homebrew Channel” from http://hbc.hackmii.com/  The Homebrew channel makes life alot more fun, less stressfull, and is just a cool addition to have to your Wii.

Items needed:

• The Homebrew Channel
• The current release of the wii web server
• A icon
• A SD card

First download the current release of the webserver and the icon to your SD card which will be transported to yout Wii frontloader to SD Card:\apps\webserver\.  Rename the hl2023.elf (or newer version) to boot.elf

Next open up everyones favorite notepad and create a file called meta.xml.  Inside the meta.xml file copy and paste the code below into it. 

  <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ standalone=”yes” ?>

- <app version=”1“>

  <name>Wii Web Server</name>

  <coder>Cboomf and Felix123</coder>

  <version>alpha v0.23</version>

  <release_date>200804120000</release_date>

  <short_description>A simple web-server for the Wii</short_description>

  <long_description>A simple web-server for the Wii. Still is very early stages of development and at present can only display a built in test page.</long_description>

  </app>

 

Save the meta.xml into the SD Card:\apps\webserver\ directory.  You should now have three files in that directory: boot.elf, icon.png, and meta.xml.

Now take take that SD card and input it into the front loader of your Wii.  Start up The Homebrew Channel and then you will see the Wii Web Server.  Select it and follow the commands given. 

The Wii Web Server will now be running.  Enter in the IP of your Wii into a comuter browser (IE, Mozilla, ect) connected on the same network to generate a very VERY generic webpage.  

At this time, the Wii Web Server is only displaying two text pages!  This is only for testing and do not expect anything special for now.  The dev team however has been updating this frequently, so keep an eye on new releases.  Since this post started there has been two updates and it has only been a day.
