How to Get WIIMC First on Homebrew

[cadbusca]

If you are fedup with having your most Popular Application on the last menu page of the HomeBrew Channel, just edit the “apps/wiimc/meta.xml” on your sd card with notepad and change the name field
from: WIIMC
to: A WIIMC

Voila! WIIMC is at the top of the first menu !

In developing the WIIMC Enhancement Pack I found that it is simple to not only have WIIMC installed but to have a second altermate copy of WIIMC available in parallel. This allows now and old versions to co-exist or modified/unmodified versions available for easy switching and testing. The name of the application in the apps folder is irrelevant since Homebrew uses the name in the meta.xml file to distinguish applications. I now have WIIMC 1.0.4, WIIMC 1.0.5 and WIIMC Plus 1.05 available in my Homebrew menu. I use 1.0.4 for Shoutcast access which is problematic for me in 1.0.5 and 1.0.5 for my music and video playback which is flawless now that my .HD patch prevents the playing of videos that crash the WII. See http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=595&start=0 for details on how to do this.

from: WIIMC

You don’t need to put a letter in front. A space works just as well.

from: WIIMC
to: WIIMC

numbers could also work.

This will also be possible in the next version of HBC 😀

I don’t understand. This is already in the homebrew channel I am using. My test shows that ” WiiMC” preceeds the “A WIIMC” in the homebrew channel menu as the previous poster said.

I meant that HBC will be able to put WiiMC first *without* prefixing the app title.

Personaly I use the channel so I do not really care if it is on first or last page of the homebrew channel
