No configuration changes are known to affect compatibility for this channel. Using Direct3D with XFB enabled will cause the screen go black, but the app stills work normally otherwise. The 1.1.3 release of the Homebrew Channel, which is now open source, has removed the anti-Dolphin code. There are other problems in pre-1.1.3 versions, which won't be documented here. The developers of the Homebrew Channel have placed traps into the program to prevent the Homebrew Channel from loading in Dolphin. Dolphin) closed the connection" and while it will report a successful transfer if the transfer happens while Homebrew Channel is in its main menu, it won't show up when returning to Homebrew Channel's app menu.Ī possible factor is that Homebrew Channel may not have expected to receive TCP transfers from the same IP as itself, but information on this is very scarce. WiiTCPLoad 0.05 claims "The remote host (i.e. dol files to Homebrew Channel, presumably to Homebrew Channel's default TCP port 4299, won't work. Problems with TCP upload to Homebrew ChannelĪs of 5.0-21088, trying to send. The Homebrew Channel also supports the Wii SD slot, which is properly emulated.Īs of 5.0-21088, Dolphin does not forward any USB storage devices to Homebrew Channel, neither physical passthrough devices, nor emulated devices. 1.3 Problems with TCP upload to Homebrew ChannelĮmulation Information Missing SD card adapter supportĭolphin does not emulate the official Nintendo memory card to SD card adapter, which is used to store applications to launch.The functionality provided by the Homebrew Channel is provided by Dolphin directly, so the HBC is not needed (except to work around Dolphin's broken Wii homebrew detection in some cases and a very few homebrew apps that cannot be run directly from Dolphin's game list, including the Priiloader installer). When launched from the Wii Menu, the Homebrew Channel will check for updates to itself and automatically download them if the user chooses to do so. It also accepts application uploads via a USB Gecko or TCP/IP (over Wi-Fi or Ethernet), which allows for quick application testing during development. The user then selects an application to launch by using a Wii Remote or GameCube controller. When launched, it displays a list of applications found on an SD card or USB drive. Once installed, it appears as a standard Wii Channel on the Wii Menu. However this isn't too big a deal because the X Box One controller is more comfortable than the WiiU Pro.The Homebrew Channel is a freeware homebrew application loader that was developed to provide a way of easily running unofficial software on the Wii console. (If Haxchi wasn't enabled there'd be a straight up error message so I can rule that out.) However it is absolutely essential to boot into the Homebrew Launcher once to enable Bloopair, and a second time to access Retroarch.įor whatever reason this causes issues with the Retroarch forwarder it will boot but the screen stays black and the loading music loops forever. Super Metroid, Snes9x and Snes9x2010 were used to test these.

Another thing to consider is the WiiU uses an older version of Bluetooth than what controllers these days use.Įither way, the difference is trivial but I thought was worth bringing up.
