3 Best Wii Homebrew Apps: Beef Up Your Nintendo Wii Homebrew

Author: Shane

Just finished softmodding your Wii and want to find the best Homebrew Wii apps for it?  Here is a list to get you started.


1. The Wii Homebrew Browser

There are a couple ways to put new homebrew apps on your Wii once you've softmodded it. You can manually copy apps onto your SD card from your PC, or you can just use the Homebrew Browser.

This handy little Wii homebrew app lets you install any apps you want by just clicking download. If you have an internet connection for your Wii, the homebrew browser is ideal.


2. MPlayer CE

If you want to play DVDs on your Wii, the Mplayer CE homebrew app lets you play video files on either an SD card or a USB drive. While this is a little more limited than the PS3, it does play more formats. There are also Divx-compatible apps for Wii.


3. Gecko OS

This application lets you play games that aren't released in the US. Weirdly, console makers release games in other countries like Japan or Europe that only play on consoles sold in those countries.

So if it hasn't been released in the American console market, you are out of luck. Games like Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse can be played with the GeckoOS app. It bypasses the Wii's country-specific coding to enable you to play the game on any console, anywhere, as long as it has been modded.

Oh, and GeckoOS lets you play games that you can't play after applying some system updates. Super Mario Bros. Wii doesn't normally run without a system update, but the GeckoOS app lets you bypass that update.

If you just finished softmodding your Wii and want to get started putting some new apps on it, these are the best Wii homebrew apps. There are also many more that you can find online through various homebrew channel sites.
