Your alternative to Homebrew Channel
http://www.maxconsole.com/maxconsole/contents/RKLS0000005399/icon_xl.jpg
If you don't like Homebrew Channel, you can always use Homebrew Filter.
Hombrew Filter is a good alternative app to the famous Homebrew Channel, this app was discontinued by hamachi-mp after he released the source code, then Excelsiior continued with the project. Now the rev37 of this app has been released and it comes with new features and some bug fixes.
The differences between Homebrew Channel and Hombrew Filter are:
boot GameCube Homebrew
boot into external loaders (Uniiloader, Priiloader)
load Homebrew from SD, USB, DVD or All
load Homebrew from FAT, NTFS or EXT2/3/4 formatted devices
categorize Homebrew (without the need to change directories)
download additional content directly from within The HomebrewFilter
Fonts
Translations
Themes
on-the-fly updates via network connectivity
child-lock mode
screen adjustment options
edit meta.xml from within the HomebrewFilter
Below is the full changelog:
- improved update-mechanism:
copy the old boot.dol to prev.dol
save the downloaded file rather than loading from RAM
BUGFIX: make downloading a Beta version work
- BUGFIX: installer no longer crashes when IOS253 exists
- IOS253 is no more selectable as IOS to load an app with
- added a new loader-menu (allows to enter special loaders):
NAND-Emu (Uniiloader) (must be one of sd:/apps/NANDEmu-Boot/boot.dol or usb:/apps/NANDEmu-Boot/boot.dol) -- HBF only allows to boot into Uniiloader if IOS253 is present
Priiloader: returns to priiloader (regardless of autoboot setting)
- 'Return to System Menu' now ignores Priiloader and always enters System Menu
- Support for Homebew on DVD
- if HW_AHBPROT is available also apply DI2_ReadLimit and NewTrucha patches
- No longer show the HBC if it's installed
- New option for disabling the 'All' category (takes effect only if atleast one other category exists (obviously)) [ZERO]
- BUGFIX: changing pages in an empty category no longer crashes [ZERO]
- Accessing devices formatted as EXT2/3/4 should now be noticeably faster
- compiled with devkitppc 25-1 and libogc 1.8.10 (support for latest WiiMotes)
- For theme designers: the following new icons have been added:
choice_large (device menu)
dvd_active (device menu)
dvd_inactive (device menu)
all_active (device menu)
all_inactive (device menu)
loader_active (loader menu)
loader_inactive (loader menu)
