Here is the post you’ve been waiting for. It’s the post where you can give suggestions about what can be improved with the homebrew browser or what should be added into the homebrew browser. Remember I don’t actually make the applications on the homebrew browser, I’m just asking the applications with links that you would like added.
sdhc support
takes a long time to download/extract.(wiimote goes to sleep waiting)
Is there any apps to play swf files on the Wii cause if not there should be (im currently typing on my wii 😀 )
how about wad and rom download slots at the top where it says popular games utilities demos and one more (forgot what it was)
Hi!
I noticed some bug with Homebrew Browser and FTPii when used with a password.
As said in FTPii meta.xml file:
“To specify a password, rename the apps/ftpii directory to apps/ftpii_YourPassword.”
The problem is, once I do that Homebrew Browser doesn’t recognize FTPii anymore.
Do you know any way to fix this ?
An other suggestion would be to add some “auto update all installed apps button” (instead of going to “view installed apps” and then click to update one by one.
An other question why isn’t Wad Manager on the list?
Please let me know about all that.
alright, im gettin a lil frustrated with this program… NOTHING works for me… the browser doesnt work and none of the apps work for me… i get that [i] not user thingy error when i use the browser… why is that???
Please format your SD card that should correct the error.
Wad manager isn’t on because: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Talk:Homebrew_Browser#Wanted_Apps
I think the user interface could be much improved by using something a little cleaner and less “bubbly” Right now we can only see 6 applications at a time, which means that it takes forever if we are looking for a specific application (especially since hbb downloads an image for all 6 files between pages)
I understand font size is a problem; so I think you should look at the interfaces that are also being suggested for tantric’s emulators. They offer a much cleaner interface that provides more information without losing the pictures (which have very little value imho)

Look at the post at the very bottom of the page; it uses a list format for the different programs with an image on the side.
Hmm, that does look good.
i’m glad you took a look at it!
out of curiousity… is there any chance you will be releasing the code for your program?
I format my SD card and I still have the same problem with ftpii when the folder is renamed ftpii_YourPassword it’s not detected by homebrew browser as installed.
Could you please fix this ?
By the way great thing now being able to update all apps in one click 😉
Hi admin,
Can you please add a white background color to the http://www.codemii.com/hbbstats.php page. Then the page is showed correctly in my website. Many thanks in advanche

White background colour has been added, now displays properly on your website.
Jabe: That isn’t a bug. It happens because HBB just tries to read the “ftpii” directory and nothing else.
Is there any way to fix this ?
Please can you add Homebrew Disc Loader?
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Disc_Loader
Jabe: I think I might have a fix for it.
me!: Sure.
Hi, thanks for your great app. Just wanted to let you know that I tried installing geexbox from the homebrew bowser and it failed both times I tried it. I succesfully installed it via ftpii in the end.
I thought maybe it might be because the GEEXBOX folder needs to be in the root of the SD card, whereas the geexbox folder lives in apps.
Anyways, thanks again 🙂
Please add WiiLife – http://wiibrew.org/wiki/User:Drei000/WiiLife
Thanks for your hard work!
theres a problem with this update when i press the button for the items i have or the update all button it just goes straight to the hombrew channel? Over and over again and it happeed a few time when i was browsing apps? Maybe a bug? srry if i posted it in another post just put this here so ull see it =]
can you make wad for install you homerew browser
so fun isn’t it !! ?
I would like the issue with nyko accessories to be fixed if its possible, I would like to be able to use the nyko classic controller inside hbb as well as in its apps. Great work so far and thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot teknecal for fixing ftpii_YourPassword bug!
You did an amazing work.
How about adding the Action Replay V1.14 loader. It’s for using Cheat codes for original gamecube games on the Wii. The retail discs no longer work on recent firmwares. I’m hoping it will be updated soon to work with backup games. I found it here:
http://www.eurasia.nu/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=5385
Hello Teknecal!
Can you added most languages please and a description of buton for the HBB 0.3.0 please.
Thank’s!
Hi, one simple feature:
When HBB starts, it should check for a new version of HBB before downloading the homebrew list. In case of a new version, it would be faster.
Hey,
I created a simple Rubik’s cube puzzle game for the wii. It can be downloaded at http://code.google.com/p/cubiic. It’d be really nice if it was added to the hbb.
Sure, I’ll add this next time I add applications.
Add CheatManager

Hi ALL. Great software this Homebrew Browser. Simple but very usefoul.
Only one suggestion for you and for your success:
– Please support many more software like games, utilities, etc. like
waninkoko software like USB Loader v1.1, Firmware Updater 4.0 and all CIOS installer/upgrader, and many more.
Thanx for all and for all your work. Excuse me for my bad english. I’m Italian. Bye. Emanuele.
P.S.: Italian language for Homebrew Browser ?
can you add a rom link
i downloaded the gameboy n snes emulators
i thought it might make it easier for most people if you have a roms page for each emu you have
so can download them straight to the Wii instead of swapping SD card to PC the n back to Wii when you want a new game
There is a bug with dragon media player when I try to delete it freezes up. When I download it a error message comes up saying can’t make folder
Thanks, this should be fixed now in HBB v0.3.
A feature would be great that makes it so that when you open Homebrew Browser each time a “New & Updated Software” screen shows up showing everything that has been added since you last started Homebrew Browser. This would make it much easier to find what you want.
Yep, this is a feature planned. Do you think it should be a pop up listing the recently added applications or have a pop-up saying would you like to see applications since your last visit and then show the apps in the scrollable list?
I like the sound of the first one, but it would probably be good if you could choose in the settings menu. (or turn it off completely if you desprately wanted to)
Also I’d like to add that whenever I try to download GeeXboX HBB crashes and I have to restart my Wii. However if I download other things I have no problems.
Why there is a Geexbox update as an .elf file? We can’t run those files since the last version of HBC.
Sorry, mistake by me…
Everything works fine!
It would be nice if the HBB checked to see if it can write to the sd card before loading. You know, because sometimes that little lock tab on the side of the card tends to get pushed back into the lock position when inserting it. Is there a way to check if the card is locked without actually trying to write to it?
Hi, HBB v0.3 does check if the little lock tab is set. It does this by writing a long file to the SD card and then checking if the file is the size it should be.
Are you having issues with it?
No issues, thanks.
Hi, and first of all sorry for my bad english.
I think it could be very useful to create a homebrew browser for the pc (windows, linux) in order to insert the sd card in the pc and download/update the same software we download/update using the wii version into the app directory structure in the sd card.
This would be great for those who can´t connect to internet from the wii but can do it in their pcs.
Thanks for all your great work.
Hi,
First of all, nice job with HBB!
I would suggest a feature for new version. The user should be able to state that she does not want to see this application anymore. Or that she does not want to see it anymore before it is updated.
I believe it is easy to implement and could be useful if the number of homebrew application increases.
An other suggestion. I like the rating system very much. However, it could be improved by giving more precise informatin. For instance, the number of people that rated the application or the distribution of the votes.
For later when the homebrew community would have conquered the world, it would be nice to have a feature “you liked this game, people who liked it liked this one also”.
I keep getting problem reading “boot.dol/elf file” whenever I tried downloading something. I can’t download anything at all. What is going on?
hi
hope this hasnt already been suggested
but i find most of the time im just updating apps i already have
would it be possible to create a “my apps” tab?
it would also make it easier to delete stuff
By my apps, do you mean a listing of the apps on your SD card? If so, you can press the SD card icon next to the help icon at the top right and then you’ll see all your apps that you have on your SD card.
oh cool
thanks
The new HBC 1.02 supports loading apps from the USB drives could we have an option to:
1. Install on the USB drive or SD card.
2. be able to load HBB from the USB drive.
This would be great.
Thanks,
Currently the new homebrew browser 0.3.1 for me has suddenly changed. When I load it up now square boxes surround the text of applications and attempting to download or update files results in file error and then causes files to become completely erased. Any help for this?
A suggestion for this would be that files dont get erased until the extraction process has concluded and a new process called deleting old files is run. Another nice idea I`d like to see is a way to continue a download on an item, instead of having to restart the process over if it fails.
Sorry, this is now fixed.
I have a 4Gb SD card that the HomeBrew Browser can’t read. After trying to read it with HBB, the entire system cannot see it anymore unless I remove and put it back in.
I’ve found this:
With Wii menu 4.0 the card, the card worked with the Wii and not with HBC and HBB.
This morning my HBC upgraded to the latest version and now it can read the SD without problems, too.
Still, the HBB says it has problem with the FAT on the SD.
I think…you could ask marcan and the other HBC’s guys for what they have changed in HBC in the latest version in regard to SD??
Apart from this problem…hey, it’s really an amazing app. And the idea for a Windows version…uhmm…if you would like to spare a bit of informations, I could work on it…
The same thing happened to me: My Wii and HBC reads my 8Gb SD card but when I try to use HBB and Geexbox… I’ve reformatted it 3 times!
But anyway it’s a great app, it has no problems with my 2Gb SD card
you should add something that shows you how much percent it has downloaded and the size currently download and remaing
Add a feature where you get a loading sign instead of black screen when loading the home browser and when we download apps show how much time is remaining to download and unzip the app.
You should also port win mugen on the wii!
My suggestion, and although it isnt a change to the Homebrew Browser itself, it is relevant, is to have the main builds of ScummVM as seperate downloads from the Subversion builds. That would mean you can test the subversions (like are currently available) but still have a stable release to use if you run into problems.
I’ve manually installed OpenTyrianWii v1.2.0 using the original files OpenTyrianWii 1.2.0.zip and tyrianFiles-6.8.09.zip from http://code.google.com/p/opentyrian-wii/downloads/list but HBB doesn’t recognize it at all.
I think it’s because it just has a different folder name.
You’re absolute right. But why doesn’t HBB use the original folder name?
By the way I noticed that listv030.txt is missing the subfolder /tyrian/popkey which was added with version 1.2 and now is preventing OpenTyrianWii from deleting completely.
Maybe you can fix this?
Thanks will do.
It’s a different folder name because there was a previous release of OpenTyrianWii by another author.
A BUG!!!
by checking icon 17/241 can i do nothing anymore!!
You should realease it as a channel if possible! self updating too, again if possible. I really want a WAD of this
umm maybe to have autoupdatable apps . Uploads them from wiibrew automatically
