Hi – I’ve updated my HBB to v0.3.7 and wondered if there is a forwarder available for this – or any other way to have a channel on my system menu?

Thanks in advance

Hi again,

I just manually upgraded to version 0.3.8

It works great, I put my SDHC card in the PC, and manually replaced 0.3.7 with 0.3.8

I put the SDHC card back in my wii, and presto, it works like a charm. Nice work for your continued effort on keeping HBB up to date.

Many many thanks to you on behalf of the homebrew community.

Hi,

I had the freeze dump issue when testing all the previous versions of HBB. So I decided to replace my new SDHC with another, and have yet to experience this with v0.3.7 yet.

So I will continue to test, but I believe it was on my end.

Thanks for the links.

Hi there,

Thanks for the report, there is a bug in HBB when it’s updating the name element in the meta.xml file. I’m now going to be using the XML library instead of my own kind of way which I believe should fix this up.

The v0.3.8 version of HBB should be out in a day or two.

Updating Apps trough HBB adds strange content to my meta.xml Files, so they are unreadable by HBC. Between and there are strange characters inserted (see sample Image linked below with my freshly updated Yabause).
This “trash” is different for each updated App.

Both v.0.3.6/.7 have the same freeze issue.

Thanks for the link, I’ll try them out.

Sure, they are available here a bit more than half way down the list (only try the v0.3.x releases): http://www.codemii.com/wiihomebrew/

I loaded 0.3.6 in a different name folder and started adding apps, got to 5 and froze. I will try the audio (off) on both versions.

Strange, .6 was rock solid but I had the apps I needed already on SD and only downloaded 1 game at a time to test and keep. Hadn’t used the download manager.

Could you add links for earlier versions you want to test and we can perhaps see when the code bug was introduced? Oh I am using SDHC if it matters.

Hi, This is a new (my first) Wii, learning.

Yes, I tried to narrow down things by just adding apps and track the names untill it froze, but nothing was repetable just random. It freezes from just adding one, to not freezing with a large list and downloads fine. It will freeze just brousing around, but no freeze yet at boot load from SD.

I will make two files 0.3.6 and 0.3.7 and try to build apps on the later to see if there were any issues with it at all before the upgrade to .7.

I will drop the music loop and try it out.

Hi there,

The bug when it crashes when starting or when running the list is known but it’s a bit hard to troubleshoot, one day I will get around to it.

The one I’m more interested in is when you are adding apps to the download queue, I haven’t heard of any reports like this.

Do you have the background music on, if so try turning it off. Are there any particular applications you add or after say 5 it crashes or is it just a random amount? When you a re browsing the list, does it happen on the same spot? Is there anything else that happens?

The link to the old version is: http://www.codemii.com/wiihomebrew/homebrew_browser_v0.3.6.zip
