The Wii Homebrew Channel has launched

[_Belial]

Saw this over at maxconsole, looks superb.

YouTube - Wii Homebrew Channel

The Homebrew Channel is a channel for launching Wii homebrew applications without the need to run the Twilight Hack first. It will list apps stored and organised on an SD card in a nice little GUI, which you can very easily customise with descriptions and shiny little .png icons all by yourself if you want. You can also launch homebrew apps via TCP (with a correctly configured PC) or USB Gecko. Both of those built in options make it extremely convenient for testing out new code, as well as a general purpose homebrew launcher. You've seen the video,
now try it yourself!

Snap!

Real easy to install - gotta go look for Monkey Island. The N64 emu is lsow BUT it's a work in progress. Ging to try Mame & the Snes emu later.

yeah the N64 emu wil take ages before its usable really, injecting roms into N64 VC games is very unsuccessful too at the moment, sadly.

Anyone know what else we can expect from this? was wanting to install this tonight but got sidetracked
