The HomebrewFilter is an drop-in replacement for the Homebrew Channel - it allows Homebrew applications to be loaded and sorted, among other more outstanding opportunities.
Compared to the Homebrew Channel, the HomebrewFilter features the following additional functionality:
- Boot GameCube Homebrew (device:/gc_apps/).
- Boot into external loaders (Uniiloader, Priiloader, Neek2o, BootMii).
- Load Homebrew from SD, USB, DVD, SD-Gecko Slot A, SD-Gecko Slot B 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.
- Debugging using USB Gecko, WiFi and SD-Card (SD:/config/HBF/debug.txt).
Installation
Starting with rev42 the HBF comes in 4 flavours:
- Wii Installer - Installs the fullchannel for Wii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter/).
- Wii Standalone - Standalone boot.dol with forwarderchannel for Wii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.Standalone/).
- vWii Installer - Installs fullchannel for vWii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.vWii/).
- vWii Standalone - Standalone boot.dol with forwarderchannel for vWii (Path: /apps/HomebrewFilter.vWii.Standalone/).
Run the Installer from any Loader. Requirements: HW_AHBPROT access or IOS236.
For the standalone version, install the Forwarder using a WAD Manager and place the app-folder in USB(SD):/apps/.
All versions are updatable via online-update. Don't change paths – will result in non-working updates/forwarders.
Don't install vWii version on Wii and vice versa (channels won't load else).

Changelog
rev47
- Build against libruntimeiospatch 1.5.3.
- Rename "SD Gecko" to "SD Card Debug Log" in Settings.
- Rename "Wifi Gecko" to "Wifi Debug Log" in Settings.
- Only scan list of available IOS once per session.
- Disable 'SD Card Gecko' by default (debug log on SD Card), because it's causing a MASSIVE slow down when opening an app's details dialog the first time in a session, when using a shitty class 2 or whatever SD Card..
- Fixed that newly build vWii forwarder accidently was the same than the Wii forwarder.
- Fixup BootMii (IOS) detection on Wii.
- Fixup showing device icon for apps.
- Add ISO0 (any version) to list of known stub IOS (it's a custom IOS installed by several old apps).
