On Dolphin Emulator version `5.0-4588` or later, the Wii Menu can be easily installed through Dolphin itself. Once this is done, the Homebrew Channel can be installed, although not in the same manner as a physical Wii.
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
* A Windows/MacOS/Linux computer with an Internet connection
|
|
* [Dolphin Emulator](https://dolphin-emu.org/download/) version `5.0-4588` or later
|
|
* The latest version of [Open Homebrew Channel](https://github.com/Wii-Mini-Hacking/hbc/releases)
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. If you have not already done so, install the Wii Menu on Dolphin Emulator by going to `Tools > Perform System Update`.

### Post-Installation, installing Homebrew Apps through Open Shop Channel
|
|
|
|
1. Download the Open Shop Channel [here](https://oscwii.org/library/app/homebrew_browser) for usage in Dolphin. Alternatively, you can get OSCDL and do this process manually.
|
|
1. Stop the emulation (if running), and open the `Config > Wii` window in Dolphin Emulator.
|
|
1. Enable `Automatically Sync with Folder`. Optionally, you may also want to adjust the `SD Card File Size` to a larger parameter - however in most cases `Auto` should be fine.
|
|
1. Open the `SD Sync Folder`. On Windows, this can easily be done by pasting the folder path into the Start Menu, Windows Explorer, or Run.
|
|
1. Extract any homebrew apps to the `WiiSDSync` folder. The end result should look something like this:

|
|
1. Load the Wii Menu and open the Homebrew Channel. Your newly installed apps should appear!
