CodeMii

12 April 2009 (v0.3)

• Brand new GUI (thanks DayDreamOz)
• Ability to scroll through applications without waiting to download images (images loading or being downloaded will show as “Image not found”)
• Images download in the background
• Much more information on applications which includes a longer description, author, version, size, date, SDHC support and controllers supported
• Shows the total amount of downloads for each application
• Ability to rate applications and shows an average rating
• Ability to queue applications for download in a download queue and download all at once
• Ability to sort applications by date, rating and download count
• Added background music (off by default, change loop.mod with your own music if you like)
• Uses threads
• Ability to move the cursor once downloading or extracting
• Ability to cancel extracting process
• Ability to work offline (by pressing the 1 Button when HBB is initialising the network)
• Ability to hide installed applications from the lists
• Checks for SD card to make sure there is enough free space before downloading each application
• Settings now include show SD card space, check free space, hide installed applications, retreive my rating, background music, rumble, update icon and offline mode
• Added lots of help screens
• Added widescreen support (thanks Cashman)
• Checks that server connected to is really www.codemii.com
• Added check to make sure the SD card isn’t locked
• Downloads all image files before loading HBB v0.3 the first time to make things faster

The Homebrew Browser has now been upgraded to v0.3. With this new version comes a much better design, usability and more information of applications. I highly recommend everyone to update and enjoy the new features.

Download HBB v0.3 or run HBB on your Wii to update.

6 April 2009 (v0.2.5d)

• Uses domain www.codemii.com to connect instead of an IP address

Another quick fix for the homebrew browser, this time my host is moving me to another server which means the codemii.com IP address will change. I recommend everyone update as once the codemii.com website has moved servers, if you have HBB v0.2.5c or below, it won’t work. (I know, I should have implemented this feature eariler)

Download HBB v0.2.5d or run HBB on your Wii to update.

HBB v0.3 has progressed to the point where it’s almost ready to be released. I am looking for people to test and post any issues or comments.

HBB Rev 8 is available for download.
Please do comment either in this post or on the HBB Dev website.

Edit: HBB has been updated to Rev 9 now.
Edit 2: HBB has been updated to Rev 10 which should fix issues when trying to download at first boot. You can download Rev10 also from HBB in the Demo section.
Edit 3: HBB Rev 11 is out which will most likely be the last Revision there is. HBB v0.3 will be release in 1 to 2 days provided there isn’t any major bugs found.
