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.
