The Homebrew Channel enables you to run homebrew software including emulators, Wii programs, Wii games and homebrew media players. It is very unlikely that you will brick your Wii when installing the Homebrew Channel. Bricks from installing the Homebrew Channel can result from misnaming or installing them in the wrong way. Bricks can also happen from rearranging or deleting Wii system data when installing the Homebrew Channel.

Place emulators into their corresponding folders and their ROMs into a folder named 'ROMS.' Most Wii applications, emulators and programs will tell you where to place them on the SD card for proper usage.

Installing the Homebrew Channel on your Nintendo Wii voids the Wii's warranty.
Looking to hack, or 'homebrew,' your Wii? Don't buy a kit: All the homebrew tools you need you can find for free on the internet.
If you don’t know what homebrewing is, Lifewire can introduce you to the fascinating world of Wii homebrew.
Before you dive in, however, you should know that Nintendo didn't design the Wii to support homebrewing. So, there's no guarantee that using homebrew software won't harm your Wii. Lifewire.com is not responsible for any problems that arise from installing Wii homebrew. Proceed at your own risk. It's also possible that installing homebrew software could void your warranty.
Be aware, too, that Nintendo updates to the Wii may kill your Homebrew Channel (or even brick your Wii), so don't update your system after installing homebrew. To prevent Nintendo from automatically updating your system, turn off WiiConnect24. (To do so, select Options, and then select Wii Settings. You'll find WiiConnect24 on page 2.) You should also prevent new games from attempting to update your system.
It is a good idea to read the WiiBrew FAQ before proceeding.
Before you begin, you must format your SD card. I formatted my card for FAT16 on the advice of a guy on Yahoo! Answers who said that the Wii reads and writes faster using FAT16 than FAT32.
If you've used this SD card before to install homebrew software, you may see a file on the card called boot.dol. If so, delete or rename it. Similarly, if you see a folder called private, delete or rename it.
If you're using a new SD card, Lifewire has instructions for formatting it on a Mac or on a PC running Windows.
At this point, you can either copy some homebrew applications to your SD card or wait until you've verified that everything was installed properly. For this article, I chose the latter option. Step 7 of this guide, Install Homebrew Software, walks you through the steps to install homebrew applications on your SD card.
The method you use to install homebrew software varies according to your Wii console's operating system. To determine which version of the operating system your Wii is running, in Wii Options, select Wii Settings. The operating system version number appears in the upper right corner. If your Wii is running version 4.3, you'll use the LetterBomb method; if your Wii is running version 4.2 or earlier, you'll use the Bannerbomb method.
Use this method if your Wii console's operating system is version 4.3.
If you have a new Wii, this procedure reportedly won't work until you have at least one message in your Wii Message Board. If your Wii is new and you have no messages, create a memo on your Wii before going to step 3. To create a memo, go to the Wii Message Board by selecting the envelope in the little circle in the lower right corner of the main menu. Select create message, select memo, and then write and post a memo.
On your Wii console, open the door next to the game disc slot to see the SD card slot. Insert the SD card so that the top of the card faces the game disc slot. If the card goes only partway in, you’re inserting it backward or upside down. Pc clone ex lite.
Use this method if your Wii console's operating system is version 4.2 or earlier.
Go to Bannerbomb, and follow the instructions there.
In brief, you download Bannerbomb, extract it, and then copy the extracted file to your SD card. Next, you download the HackMii Installer, extract it, copy installer.elf to the SD card’s root directory, and rename it boot.elf.
The Bannerbomb site offers a few alternate versions of the software. If the main version doesn't work for you, go back and try the others one by one until you find one that works on your Wii.
A loading screen appears, followed by a black screen with white text telling you to demand your money back if you paid for this software. After a few seconds, the installer prompts you to press 1 on your Wii remote.
You perform the following steps using your Wii remote, highlighting items on the screen, and then pressing A on the remote to select them.
If you're using Bannerbomb, you can use the same procedure to install DVDx, which enables you to use your Wii as a DVD player (if you install media-playing software such as MPlayer CE). I don't know why DVDx isn't included in LetterBomb, but you can find and install it by using the Homebrew Browser.
After you exit, an indicator shows that your SD card is loading. When loading is complete, you’ll be in the Homebrew Channel. If you have copied homebrew applications into the apps folder of your SD card, you'll see them here; otherwise, you'll see a screen with bubbles floating on it. Press home on the remote, and then select exit to go to the main Wii menu. The Homebrew Channel now appears as one of your channels.
Insert your SD card into your computer’s SD card reader. Create a folder called apps in the card's root folder.
Now, you need software, so go to wiibrew.org.
The easiest way to find and install homebrew software on the Wii is by using the Homebrew Browser (HB). If you installed HB using the method here, reinsert the SD card in the SD card slot on your Wii console, select The Homebrew Channel, run HB, and download the software you want. HB doesn't list all the software available for the Wii, but you can see most of the available options.
