Help on the Homebrew Channel

I installed the Homebrew Channel and it works fine. My question is, how do I get the "channel things" onto the Homebrew Channel? I have some apps on my computer and I've run them successfully with the Twilight Hack if that means anything...

Didn't it say somewhere in the homebrew channel's readme? Anyway...

You have to create a folder in the SD card called "apps". In that you create a folder for each program you want to try, and put the program's files (usually only boot.elf or boot.dol) in that folder.

Another way is to use wiiload, which is packaged with the homebrew channel, to send the .elf or .dol file from your computer if it and your wii are in a network (this way won't work with programs that have more files than one).

or, just download your apps from here. everything is formatted to extract directly to you sd card and it's set up for the homebrew channel

Not every thing on the packgen is up to date currently...

If you download an app from another website here's the folder structure:

  Code:
X:/Apps/AppFolder/boot.elf
