SPECIAL NOTES FOR THIS RELEASE OF THE HOMEBREW CHANNEL:
The ELF loading code in The Homebrew Channel has been updated to be consistent
with the ELF Specification. Due to inconsistencies in ELF executables produced
by current versions of DevkitPPC as of this writing, current ELF applications
will not work with this version (this is why we have been recommending the use
of DOL files instead). The next release of DevkitPPC is expected to include a
new executable build process that will produce both valid ELFs and DOLs. If
you have applications in ELF format, please ask the developer to release the
proper DOL executable. If only the ELF is available, you can convert it using
the `powerpc-gekko-objcopy' utility from DevkitPPC. Use it as follows:
powerpc-gekko-objcopy -O binary boot.elf boot.dol
Note that this will only work with the old, incorrect ELF files. In the
future, DevkitPPC will use an `elf2dol' utility to convert new ELF executables
to DOL executables. Newer ELF files will continue to work on older loaders.
Update instructions:
If you have previously installed The Homebrew Channel, you can update it. If
this is the first time you are installing it, see below for Installation
Instructions. The easiest way to update is using the built-in Online Update
functionality. Simply configure the WiFi network settings for your Wii for
proper Internet connectivity, and boot up the channel. If the connection is
established, you'll see an opaque white (not semitransparent) world icon
in the lower right corner, and an update prompt will automatically appear.
Accept it to begin downloading the update. If you cannot or do not want to
connect your Wii to the Internet, simply run the boot.dol file using any
homebrew booting method. For example, you can upload it using wiiload or
you can make a directory inside /apps (for example, /apps/Update) and copy
boot.dol there. Then, simply run it from the previous version of the channel.
Installation instructions:
The suggested way to install the Homebrew Channel is by using Zelda: The
Twilight Pricess with the Twilight Hack, which is available at
http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Twilight_Hack. After installing the
Twilight Hack savegame, format an SD card (as FAT16; must be
