Hi
I've finaly got the home brew channel up but when it starts there nothing there but popping bubbles,
I only get reload menu or credits and the rest if I press the home key but otherwise nothing what do i do i've got system 4.0 (uk)
I could do with the dummys guide.

The HBC is a .dol loading application. In other words, if you haven't put any Wii applications on your SD card, nothing will show up!

Try downloading the Homebrew Browser (find it on the wiki) and putting that on the SD card (just put the contents of the "apps" folder in the download into the "apps" folder on your SD card). Then the HBB will show up in the HBC (sorry); launch it and you will be able to download all manner of wonderful things through a simple interface, which will then show up in the HBC. You can download the homebrew apps manually via PC from the wiki or elsewhere too, of course.

Thanks for that Im going to give it a try as soon as I get the kids off it.
cheers
