"Failed to receive the Homebrew List." When installing on wii

Hey -

I'm a first time poster, although I did a thorough scan of the forums and searched as well I could not find what I was looking for.

I'm new to all of this and it's taken me working on and off on my wii since 8p (it's now 11:30p) to get this far. I've installed the homebrew channel, and the difficult part for me has been installing the browser (v 0.3.8) side of it.

My SD card is 2.0GB. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! first, I read the directions for install in such a way that that said to me to ONLy move the homebrew_browser folder in a folder called apps. That failed immediately resulting in an error.

So I re-did it and included all the folders (with the exception of homebrew_browswer file) into the main section of the sd card (like when you first open it) and it went farther....

but now i'm stuck at "failed to receive homebrew list, which comes after the the repositories list is received on the black screen with white font. Then it goes (after failing a few times) : cannot receive homebrew list returning to hb and it goes back to the blue homebrew channel screen with the homebrow browser icon there.

Can anyone help me?

my yahoo IM is akiesling85 and i'll keep it on in hopes someone can help, I've worked so many hours it'd be nice to figure it out tonight. I wish I could offer some help in return, but this area of technology (video games) is not my strong point. Blackberries however.... :)

Thanks!!!!!

If it can't receive the list, I would assume that it means you're aren't connected to the internet. Have you set up WiiConnect24?

I'm heard this before. Sorry I can't remember the answer off the top of my head. So here's some things to try. You may want to try a deeper search on this forum as I believe I read it here.

1. Install this version - [wiibrew.org]. Did you read the help and guide contained in the homebrew browser zip, it may help.
2. (which I think you've fix) ... copy the "homebrew brower" dir to sd:/apps/
3. Make sure your network is working, do you get any other network errors from HBB?
4. The site for the hbb maybe busy or down.

Failing that ... You can manually download apps here [wiibrew.org]

The usual convention is the main data dir goes under sd:/apps some apps may want other directories for saves etc. Usually their wiibrew wiki documentation page will give instructions.

Okay I'm a dork. I disconnected the internet on purpose because i thought i read that it will update the wii or something and take away all my hard work. i just connected and yeah, its passed that park and on the "extracting image files" part. cross your fingers!

Exception (DSI) occured!
buncha numbers

stack dump:
80070310>80070210>8009?954-8009?8?4

Make sure you unplug all of the external devices you have inserted into your wii (USB devices, GC devices, etc.).

I don't have anything extra to plug into it. No USB i dunno what GC devices are... but it's just the sd card.

Just put the 24wii thing to on. also removed the download i'd had on there and loaded from the link scanff told me to. we'll see it's back at the extracting image files.. which at least is past the "repositories list received" i hope theres no error this time....

white static lines then the exception (dsi) occured! again

GC devices means gamecube controller or memory card.

If it says "Failed to receive homebrew list" means it's missing the homebrew list.

You can get the Homebrew List file here (right click the link and click Save Target As)
