Yeah, it's weird. I put the folders in the root of my SD card and such, homebrew channel is installed and nothing... Did i do something wrong?

what model is your SD card (wii cannot take SDHC IIRC) also what format (fat32/fat/other)

Lexar 512 SD Card, and i formatted it to FAT. My friend has the same one and it works for him

can you try his card, just to make sure the problem is not with your wii?

what exactly isn't working...
does the homebrew channel itself start?
do you see an error message?

The homebrew channel works just fine, it's the apps won't pop up on it for some reason

oh my god, make a folder called "apps" in the root (without qoutes) and put your homebrew in there

Hi. I have a similar problem, I was wondering if I could get help here (to avoid double threads). When I click start, It goes through a screen and it scrolls until it says some error. I have a folder called apps. It only boots an .elf file when its on the root of the sd card, but now that I have multiple folders with elf files in them (all boot.elf), it gives me an error. What is wrong? Thanks.
