After the app pop uped on the screen i clicked on it and then a message appears:"This is not a valid wii aplication"
And this happens with every app

make sure they are called boot.dol
and make sure they are .dols and not .efls (all the elfs are busy for Christmas... haha)

It's not such a big problem. The Homebrew Channel only accepts valid .elf files since the last update or so (beta 9, I think). Your boot.elf is probably invalid, from my experience the majority of them are. Previously the Homebrew Channel internally adjusted, but now I doesn't anymore. Use the ELF to DOL Converter here to fix your problem. I have never personally used it before, but I am sure it will do the trick.

If you find an incompatible .elf lying around, you should contact the applications developer and tell them to upgrade to a .dol

the elf to dol converter works well, fats... it just doesn't say when it is finished, successful/unsuccessful, ect...
