< p > The < a href = "https://oscwii.org/" > Open Shop Channel< / a > is a homebrew app repository created by dhtdht020, and is currently the preferred way to download homebrew. Not only is it more convenient due to having the most commonly used homebrew in one place, but it is also safer as apps are manually added to the repository. You can see where an app is being obtained from by checking its < a href = "https://github.com/OpenShopChannel/Apps/tree/master/contents" > manifest< / a > .< / p >
< p > There are two methods to use the Open Shop Channel: on your Wii through the Homebrew Browser, or outside of your Wii through OSCDL.< / p >
