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. | ||

Until someone tests all of the HBC versions in Dolphin and allows this page to go into full detail, it will focus on the latest version: which does not boot. Accordingly, this makes it 1 star in the ratings template and version compatibility. --> | <!-- The traps to prevent the HBC from working on Dolphin were put in place a long time ago, apparently between 3.0 and 3.5.
