Homebrew Channel Beta 9: October 23 update compatible, SDHC support, more |
Listed in: Wii Tags: Team Twiizers, tona
Good
news for Wiibrew fans! Team Twiizers has updated the Homebrew Channel
to beta 9, compatible with Nintendo's October 23 update! If you remember, that update contained measures to block the use of homebrew. Here's a note about the update from Team Twiizer's Marcan:
Beta9 would have been out a few days ago, but then Nintendo came up with the new October 23 update with perfect timing, so we had to make sure the beta9 installer was compatible (read: exploited a new bug nobody knew about until then). [...]
Warning: WeÂ’ve updated the ELF loader to be compliant with the specs. Unfortunately, DevkitPPC ELFs currently are not (they will be in the next release), so theyÂ’ll break. App authors should distribute DOL versions. If they donÂ’t, tell them to. If they donÂ’t, convert it yourself:
Newer ELFs produced by the new toolchain (when it comes out, hopefully soon) will be compatible both with the new loaders (HBC beta9) and all the old loaders. All DOL files work as usual. The new linkerscript will also be more flexible (weÂ’re using it for all the binaries involved in HBC, instead of a mixture of custom linker scripts). Authors of other loaders will like this.
Even with the compatibility though, Marcan still suggests not updating unless you need to, recommending Muzer's or tona's installer to install IOS51 and the new Wii Shop. Beta 9 now also has SDHC support, and sports a fix for the memcard bug (really). Here's the full changelog:
- Installer / updater now works with the October 23 update
- SDHC support
- REALLY fixed the memcard bug
- Installer now picks newest sane IOS, fixes some beta8 regressions
- Added a reload button (for SD card changes)
- Return to system menu skips warning
- Fixed some graphical glitches
- Saner XML load code
- Many fixes to underlying stuff in the newer libogc

But chances are if you can run the homebrew launcher, you already have the Twilight Hack, so you can easily install HBC anyway.

2. Is there a Wii version of this Zelda game or are we to find the gamecube version?
3. After this is installed can it play .wad files?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thank you
