In your opinion, what are the must-have Wii homebrew apps?

Not system tools (which hopefully is the reason you're asking this for one of the top 3 systems for homebrew):

• Wii Earth (online map viewer, some sources are dead but others still work)
• 240p test suite (video test pattern generator AND toy for when you're stoned)
• RSSMii (does it really count when it basically only configures a server side job? Still, I have a bunch of blog posts that survived on the NAND backup of my first console...)
• Achtung Wii Kurwe (PC game adaptation, but one that I like AND you don't seem to see on every single modded console)
• Syobon Action Wii (ditto)
• Schism Tracker (if you know the name you'll know why you want it, else you probably won't care )
• A media player, can't decide between WiiMC, WiiMC-SS, and MPlayer CE, all have their strengths and all are beaten by XMBC on the first Xbox
• FMyLife and Wii Twitter were nice but have been broken for at least 10 years...

Utilities:

• Some YAWMM Mod (title installer)
• BlueDump Mod (title exporter)
• AnyTitle Deleter Bushing version (title remover)
• Priiloader (should have been #1 on the list lol)
• Nintendont and Configurable USB Loader
• Savegame Manager GX (last on the list because, like pretty much every console UI knockoff, it's crappy - GENERALLY does its job though)

Emulators (last because you can do much better = accurate on a modern computer, if you want to get proper TV out with limited hassle though...)

• mGBA (VBA GX as a very distant second choice in general, but nice for titles with gimmicks)
• FCE Ultra GX
• Genesis Plus GX

I've been meaning to check that out, but I don't have enough space on my SD card

 

[slipnslider]

I believe you can get a 32GB SDHC card for the Wii if you have upgraded to Wii Menu 4.0 or higher. I have one and it works great. I have pretty much the entire N64 catalog on it along with some SNES and NES games and there is room left over. I leave my USB card for for actual Wii games

In your opinion, what are the must-have Wii homebrew apps?

The knowledge for how to use them safely & efficiently.
A plan B, C etc. when sh*t hits the fan. Better safe than sorry
And, your preferred & effective insanity sedative

 

[Redthebird]

Riiconect24,or wifmmy expectly for mkwii or brawl.

 

[cowboy99]

In my opinion, these are the best apps:

Priiloader + Load Priiloader
d2x cIOS Installer (check wii.hacks for the tutorial)
Homebrew Browser (the open shop channel version)
Some homebrew channel theme
YAWMM ModMii Edition
USB Loader GX
WiiMC
csm-installer (safer than MyMenufy but recommend Priiloader being installed and having a BootMii backup in case of disaster)
SysCheck
Wii64
VBAgx
and Snes9xGX.

What about MyMenufy mod?

 

[XFlak]

Mymenuify mod can semi-brick a vWii (not wii) if it has priiloader installed. But decaffeinator should be able to repair even this iirc
