he must have put something on his wii before hand (i.e. wads and messing with the cios) because i had the homebrew channel installed in my wii for a while (around the time of july 2008 when the easy zip setup was first introduced by twiizers) and when i try and move the homebrew channel into my wii or launch it from the SD card menu, i get nothing. also i cannot get TP hack to work so the brew channel left nothing for me to work with on my wii. so we still play the waiting game...
