So, I want to make my own Homebrew Applications for the Wii console. But, I don't know where to begin, or what programs are best and/or required. Could someone help? Thank you! :D

I don't know much about coding, but most wii apps use devkitPro dependencies to make something that looks legit by a hacked wii. you problem need to learn C++ first or maybe C#. I think if you don't know this, you're going to have a difficult time.

I suggest visual studio code for coding btw. Or, you can use notepad++ to see errors more easily based on color coordination.

You need DevKit Pro.
After you get that, you must download any libraries that your game will use.
There's libraries that handles 2D drawing, other libraries handles sound, other libraries handles 3D camera, other libraries handles lighting, etc.
Get your libraries and start coding.

Wiibrew Making Homebrew site also links a list of development tools. Are all tools required or do you just have to download/select certain or recommended tools?

    I'm so pumped, NCAA football video game is back after a 10 year hiatus, coming to SeriesS/X, PS5 in July.

    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
