Installing the Homebrew Channel

This page will guide you through the process of installing the Homebrew Channel to the vWii without modding the Wii U side.

Instructions

Section I - Booting into Aroma

1. Execute the web browser exploit as previously explained but this time, you will need to hold the X button to open the Environment Loader menu.
2. Once you are there, boot into the Aroma environment by selecting it inside the payload loader.

Section II - Installing the Homebrew Channel

1. Launch the vWii Compat Installer on the Wii U menu.
2. Press A to install the Homebrew Channel and wait until you see Install succeeded. Then press the HOME button to return to the Wii U Menu.
3. Launch vWii (the Wii Menu icon).
   • If the installation has succeeded, you should see the Homebrew Channel in your Wii Menu.

You may delete the wiiu folder on your SD card if you so choose.

Required Reading

You can now use the Homebrew Channel to launch Wii homebrew apps.

Note: When installing homebrew applications on your SD Card or USB drive, your folder structure should look like this:

💾 SD Card
 ┗ 📁 apps
   ┣ 📁 <AppName1>
   ┃ ┣ 📄 boot.dol
   ┃ ┣ 📄 meta.xml
   ┃ ┗ 📄 icon.png
   ┗ 📁 <AppName2>
     ┣ 📄 boot.dol
     ┣ 📄 meta.xml
     ┗ 📄 icon.png

AppName1 and AppName2 are placeholder names. Do not nest multiple apps folders inside the apps folder itself. Do not get confused with the apps folder inside of the wiiu folder and the apps folder on the root of the SD card.
