Homebrew Browser for Nintendo Wii --------------------------------- The Homebrew Browser allows you to download the latest homebrew applications and games all through your Wii. You don't need to take your SD card out. You don't even need a computer! You can also delete homebrew you no longer want. No more dead links, no more extracting files, no more finding out that the homebrew application doesn't include an icon.png and meta.xml in the zip file! Features: ------------------ - One click download/(un)install/update for each homebrew application - Auto updating when your Homebrew Browser version is out of date Author: ------------------ teknecal (teknecal@gmail.com) - www.codemii.com Graphics by DayDreamOz (www.spriteattack.com) How to install: ------------------ Copy the homebrew_browser folder to the /apps folder on your SD/USB device.
