The '''''Homebrew Channel''''' is a freeware homebrew application loader that was developed to provide a way of easily running unofficial software on the [[Wii]] console. Once installed, it appears as a standard [[Wii Channels|Wii Channel]] on the [[Wii Menu]]. When launched, it displays a list of applications found on an SD card or USB drive. The user then selects an application to launch by using a Wii Remote or GameCube controller. It also accepts application uploads via a USB Gecko or TCP/IP (over Wi-Fi or Ethernet), which allows for quick application testing during development. When launched from the Wii Menu, the Homebrew Channel will check for updates to itself and automatically download them if the user chooses to do so. | The '''''Homebrew Channel''''' is a freeware homebrew application loader that was developed to provide a way of easily running unofficial software on the [[Wii]] console.

The functionality provided by the Homebrew Channel is provided by Dolphin directly, so the HBC is not needed (except to work around Dolphin's broken Wii homebrew detection in some cases; and a very few homebrew apps that cannot be run directly from Dolphin's game list, including the [[Priiloader]] installer). | The functionality provided by the Homebrew Channel is provided by Dolphin directly, so the HBC is not needed (except to work around Dolphin's broken Wii homebrew detection in some cases; and a very few homebrew apps that cannot be run directly from Dolphin's game list, including the [[Priiloader]] installer) - to load a homebrew app without HBC in Dolphin, go to File → Open..., then select your DOL or ELF file. | ||
