Wii Homebrew Channel

A custom Wii channel created by Team Twiizers, the same people responsible for the Twilight Hack. It allows homebrew to be run from the SD card in a similar fashion to the Twilight Hack, but from the Wii menu, so is more convenient. Currently the Wii Homebrew Channel available for public release is a beta. Currently it allows ten minutes of usage before expiring. Once the channel has expired, it cannot be reinstalled, so it's suggested you use the allocated ten minutes wisely.


Installation

Assuming the Twilight Hack is already installed on your Wii;

1. Download the installer from the section below.
2. Place the installer file on the root of your SD card.
3. Rename the file to boot.elf
4. Run the Twilight Hack, and allow the installer to load.
5. READ THE DISCLAIMER! In the very unlikely case your Wii should be bricked by the installer, this will let you know where you stand in regards to Team Twiizers.
6. Press the RESET button on your Wii.

The installation should be automatic from this point on, and your Wii will reboot.

The Homebrew Channel is the new channel with no skin/theme.
Removal

1. removing the channel can be done with the channel management in the wii system software.
2. the homebrew channel will be displayed with a questionmark and with three questionmarks (???) as the name.
3. after removal of the channel it can't be reinstalled for another ten minutes of usage.

Awsome! A way to run homebrew without having to boot up zelda each time. I'm glad to see this release, but why is it locked to only 10 minutes? thats kind of sucky...

I haven't tried it cos I'm not sweating over a 10 min demo personally but I think it's maybe locked to 10 mins to ensure that the developers keep control of the project which I think is fair enough. I know it'll prolly be made accessible to all eventually but it makes sense to be cautious in case the situation goes crazy and somebody upsets the apple-cart and forces Nintendo to react to it, something which nobody wants, especially the guys who have taken it this far. And the old, "too many cooks," axiom comes to mind. Also these guys have tried to ensure rigorous testing and user safety which is important. Some kudos hunters out there might well not bother as much.

The way I interpreted this was that once the channel has been removed, you can't reinstall it for 10 minutes... wrong? Or no?
