HBB Updated Applications
November 9th, 2008HBB updated to v0.2.4
November 9th, 20087 November 2008 (v0.2.4)
- Able to view currently installed applications
- Fixed bug in downloading and removing applications which affected uno and may have affected other applications
- Retries increased to 10 times with a longer pause in-between
- Able to reboot the Wii by holding B and pressing Home
- Detects if you have a .elf version of any application and lets you update that application
- Now uses zip files which means download sizes are reduced (thanks Tantric)
- Added SDHC support
- Detects if HBB icon or meta file exist, if they don’t then it downloads them
Thanks to Tantric the Homebrew Browser now has zip support. This means that applications that were classified as having too many files can now be included in the HBB. Applications now will take less time to download however the trade off is it takes a little while to extract the zip files.
Download HBB v0.2.4 or run HBB on your Wii to update.

HBB updated to v0.2.3b
October 26th, 200826 October 2008 (v0.2.3b)
- Using dol instead of elf to work with HBC beta 9
Out of no where the HBC was updated to Beta 9 and what you might have figured out is that the HBC now only loads valid ELF files. This was news to me and as far as I’m aware they didn’t tell any homebrew developers about this. The only way you’d know about it is by reading the new README file that’s included or trying to run a elf file. It would have been nice if they had told us about this new ELF feature before they released it.
Those of you who have updated to HBC Beta 9 will have to re-download the HBB manually.
Download HBB v0.2.3b or run HBB on your Wii to update (you will need to update twice).
I was working on showing all the applications on your SD card before the newest HBC came out. You can view them by moving your cursor to the top left corner of the screen and pressing A.

I would have liked to add Wiiero, but unfortunately it has too many files. I have made MahJongg Wii’s fonts in the HBB a bit larger. Is the font size used a bit more readable now?

Tutorial 7: Using arrays
September 28th, 2008In this Wii programming tutorial we will quickly cover how we can utilise arrays for holding information about games like in card games or other games were the positions of objects remains static. You can grab the PDF of this tutorial here: codemii-tutorial-7
An array as you should know can hold multiple elements. By utilising these elements we can arrange them however we like. For example, if we were to do a tic tac toe game, we know there are 9 cells in 3 x 3. We can declare an array with 8 elements and set all those elements to 0 as shown below.
