There are other problems in pre-1.1.3 versions, which won't be documented here.

The functionality provided by the Homebrew Channel is provided by Dolphin directly, so the HBC is not needed (except to work around Dolphin's broken Wii homebrew detection in some cases).Įmulation Information Pre-1.1.3 Black Screen When launched from the Wii Menu, the Homebrew Channel will check for updates to itself and automatically download them if the user chooses to do so. It also accepts application uploads via a USB Gecko or TCP/IP (over Wi-Fi or Ethernet), which allows for quick application testing during development. The user then selects an application to launch by using a Wii Remote or GameCube controller. When launched, it displays a list of applications found on an SD card or USB drive.
