I just update my homebrew to the newest version available and now I can't load my apps. Every time I try to these error message pops out "This is not a valid wii application". :S This error messages pops up for all of my application and I just don't know what to do. If anyone knows how to fix this it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)

One of the wii homebrew channel updates (beta 8 or 9, I forget which one) removed compatibility with programs in .elf format. All homebrew apps need to be .dol now.

Nearly every homebrew app has been updated to work, you just need to find the updates and replace the ones on your SD with the new versions.

If you can't find a .dol version of the application then you can download and use elf2dol converter which of course converts elf files to dol files.
