Open Shop Channel

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}

For support (in English) with the Open Shop Channel, join Open Shop Channel on Discord. {: .notice--primary}

The Open Shop Channel 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 manifest.

There are two methods to use the Open Shop Channel: on your Wii through Homebrew Browser, or outside of your Wii through OSCDL.

Method I - Homebrew Browser

Requirements

  • A homebrewed Wii with an active Internet connection
  • 一张 SD 卡或 U 盘
  • Homebrew Browser

Instructions

  1. Download the recommended .zip file from the Open Shop Channel website.

  2. Extract the apps folder in the archive to the root of your SD card or USB drive. Optionally, the archive also comes with a guide on how to use the Homebrew Browser.

  3. Insert your SD card or USB drive into your Wii, and go to the Homebrew Channel. Homebrew Browser should now display.

Method II - OSCDL

Requirements

  • A Windows/macOS/Linux computer with an internet connection
  • 一张 SD 卡或 U 盘
  • The latest version of OSCDL

Instructions for Windows

  1. Download oscdl-installer.exe and run the installer. Optionally, you may instead download oscdl-standalone.exe, which does not have to be installed and instead runs as a portable executable.

  2. If you get a User Account Control pop-up that asks whether or not you would like the program to make changes to your PC, select Yes. Open Shop Channel is a safe application.

  3. Let the installer run, and then launch OSCDL once the process is finished.

  4. Find an application that you would like to get, and press the Download button. Alternatively, you can send the app directly to your Wii (this requires that your computer and Wii be on the same network).

  5. A .zip file containing your app should download to wherever you specified the directory to be. Extract the apps folder in this archive to the root of your SD card or USB drive.

  6. Insert your SD card or USB drive into your Wii, and go to the Homebrew Channel. Your downloaded piece of homebrew should now display.

Instructions for macOS/Linux
