Hello forum readers, I am new here and considering to install the Homebrew Channel. What I need to know: are there any risks that come with installing the Homebrew Channel? I read that it NEVER happened, but I see some topics here in which people say they completely bricked their Wii forever. Could also be the great power HBC gives you, I'm talking about HBC only (Letterbomb installer), not any other app that can be installed with it. Secondly, I would like a tutorial on how to install this BootMii, as it seems to make you able to recover your Wii when it's bricked. I wanna know everything cause I MUST prevent bricking my Wii, as I don't have the money to buy a new one. I know I sound worried; but it would be perhaps destroying my Wii if I take any chances. That would be such a waste of money. That's it. Thanks for any given replies. 410172 p.s. I'm sorry if this is asked you many times before; or if this has been discussed in any other topic.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74301,74301#msg-74301Mon, 13 Jul 2026 08:02:19 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74301,74313#msg-74313 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74301,74313#msg-74313I have seen some lists with Homebrew apps just by googling Homebrew apps and I saw a lot of those media players. If MPlayerCE is outdated, I can easily pick another (which hopefully gives me the ability to watch DVD's on my Wii, that's my target).]]> 410172 Getting StartedWed, 16 Apr 2014 09:29:50 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74301,74312#msg-74312 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74301,74312#msg-74312
Riivolution I can't tell you about I don't use it, the emulators are fine I have a couple of them when i want to play the old school games, but I can't tell you how to put the games on there for the emulators its against the rules.

IIRC MplayerCE is outdated there is a newer better media player I don't remember off hand what it is, its been about a year since I even turned on my wii, I have lost the need to mess with it, more so since newer better consoles have been released.

You can go here to get some info on HBC and homebrew games and apps [wiibrew.org]]]> dirtrider73068 Getting StartedWed, 16 Apr 2014 01:10:42 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74301,74311#msg-74311 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74301,74311#msg-74311Of course I will stay away from those bad stuff; and changing the menu theme, well, I guess I'm satisfied with the one I have right now. What I actually wanna do with the Homebrew Channel is install Riivolution and CTGP revolution, so that I can run those ossem Mario mods on my Wii (yes, Mario fan here). And I want to install some emulators (SNES9x GX and Wii64), but those aren't part of the bad stuff, are they? Perhaps I will install MPlayerCE so I can watch DVD's on my Wii. That's all.

For now, lets wait and hear what the experts say. :)
Thanks for replying.

Also bootmii will only work on older wiis, if it states can only be installed as IOS then its kinda pointless to have it.

One of the other ones that know alot more and can explain it better should chime in, it may take some time before they do.]]> dirtrider73068 Getting StartedTue, 15 Apr 2014 02:21:16 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74301,74301#msg-74301 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74301,74301#msg-74301
