How do you make homebrew wii game a channel?

Is it possible to make a homebrew wii game into a channel of it's own? If so, how?

It's illegal 99.9% of the time and extremely complicated. But, if you still want to try, and someone wants to explain it legally, go for it.

You can use CustomizeMii from the WiiBrew wiki, but it cant donwload legal base WADs for some reason, so for it to be legal, you have to find a legal base WAD yourself and load it. Doubt you'll find one though, almost every WAD is illegal.

Is there a way to use bannerbomb to install it?

Why dont you have the homebrew channel installed?

I do, I would just like to make WiiEarth a channel on the menu.

Well thats fine. My point was merely that if you have the HBC installed then theres no need for bannerbomb.

Depending on your System Menu, it may not be possible to install the channel without first using a tool (which cannot be named here, but is perfectly legal) to restore the trucha bug to an IOS, and then use that IOS to install the channel.

But this does keep my current system menu version, correct?

I have used used CustomizeMii and have not had this problem. Are you unable to download any base WAD or just a particular one?

Yes

Some programs do not seem to work well as channels. Anyway, make sure that you have Preloader or Bootmii as boot2 before installing custom channels as they can banner brick your wii.

I have not tried it, but I read leathl (dev of CustomizeMii) saying it couldnt currently download legal base WADs as the host site was down. It may be back up now I dunno.

I see. Well, the host site is back up now.

1 - 10 With 1 being the least risky of bricking, how likely is it?

That is hard to say. If you modify the banner of the base WAD it is more likely to brick than if you do not. In any case, a banner brick is easy to fix with Preloader or Bootmii installed as boot2. All you need to do to fix it is use Preloader or Bootmii to load the Homebrew Channel, run the WAD installer, and have it uninstall the WAD that caused the brick.

1 - 10 How good are you at following complex instructions. Negate the number. (So if you say 1, the negation is 9) And thats how risky it is on a scale of 1 - 10.

With CustomizeMii, it should be safe, because it will check the banner I think before putting it in the WAD, so it shouldn't bannerbrick. However, still have preloader or BootMii as boot2 installed before trying anything.

why has no one made a progrma that checks the banner in a wad?

Did you read my last post? As I said, CustomizeMii DOES check the banner. As does ChannelMaker3 upon which it is based.
