Questions about Homebrew

[カワシさん]

Before I start I'd like to apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section.

Alright, so I'm planning to Homebrew my Wii (for Wiimmfi) and I have a few questions:

1. Is Homebrew safe?
2. Are you able to install Homebrew alongside applications (namely Wiimmfi) at the same time? Or do you have to get Homebrew, and then the application?

Also if this helps anyone with their answers I am using the Letterbomb method.

Thank you!

It can be asked here, yes. Homebrew for Wii is safe, in that it shouldn't damage your console when following everything. You do need homebrew installed before getting other applications for it to run since you access them usually from the homebrew channel after it's made. I never installed Wiimmfi, but make sure to look up good tutorials for it. I heard it gives some errors at the start that you might have to look up and fix.


And if anyone is wondering, yes, this thread is ok. As long as it doesn't stray too far off topic to what it is now, it's fine being here. We do have threads relating to homebrew every now and then on SWF like the widescreen melee on Wii U thread.

Alright, thanks for letting me know! Also, would it do anything to your computer?

I put Homebrew on a Wii I got for next to nothing on Craig's List. Since I got it so cheap I didn't mind experimenting. I used the method described in this video to install Homebrew.

Nope, it doesn't. You're not installing anything on your computer. You're just getting files to put on a compatible SD.

@ Grizzmeister No asking on how to pirate games
