Most official repoistories contain the app files in the root of a zip instead of a folder in the zip and WiiBrowser won't create a folder for it.
The problem with permissions is, none of the developers really care anymore about their homebrew apps and simply don't respond at all.
Nobody asked in the USB Loader GX or WiiXplorer support threads. :/
Always glad to see new wii stuff. Need to fill out the games section though and work on the html. Add my wii stuff to it. http://wiibrew.org/wiki/User:Owen

too bad HBB sources are not available, but maybe HB Appstore (wiiu version) could be used to create a new, open source version for wii ?
with a setting to set a different repository url in case one is offline and someone want to host a new one.

The problem with the hbb browser and also what makes it work so well it that it hosts all the downloads - so no dead links. But someone has to manually update it. I thought about a solution that would bridge the 2 but interest is low.
hmmmmm nice ill try this out when i get home from school and if this work ill see if i can get the same thing. i have a question is this a manual made site or did you use some sort of website maker (like wix)
Will surely add it (Edit: Already Added!
). The site is purposely basic as WiiBrowser does not support anything other than text (Only normal and bold, no italic or centered) and images.I assume it can be used, but I will soon allow custom repositories too.
The site is made manually, I assume you got confused by my WPMU project, which is basically a wordpress blog host owned by me.

link to USBLoaderGX thread?
it's a pinned thread, in the Wii > USBLoader section.
I'm the last one maintaining that project.
If you want to include a binary in your repository, you can but you need to provide a way to find the sources (you can add the URL of sourceforge's repository somewhere on the site) as per the GPL, and that's probably valid for ALL the homebrew you host.
Also, I'd recommend you do NOT provide random version you find !
only provide version which are released officially as "stable" on sourceforge, and not the one you find as beta test in the official development thread. these "temporary" revision can be dangerous, incompatible, crashing, unstable, etc.
I wouldn't want users to complain because the end users (not developers or beta testers) updated to a non stable version.
I'd think WiiXplorer will have the same restriction : provide link to sources, or the sources themselves. But I'd talk for its author without knowing for sure.
there's no new official released version, but there's a newer, modded, one which supports Ustealth drives.
As long as you comply to the license (GPL = provide sources) then you should be fine re-hosting files without asking first. just use common sense and don't host unstable, untested releases to the public.
Some releases and projects are specifically told by its author to not rehost or share (Wiimc, Hackmii, Neek, etc.), just find an official readme or license file to learn what you can or need to do before hosting binaries from project which are not yours.

Thanks for the information, meanwhile I will remove both WiiXplorer & USB Loader GX from the list and later on do a research about the currently existing apps. The files were transferred over to a place inaccessible via the web. I will make sure to give proper credits for any app / theme from now on. Currently the author information can be found at norment.in.nf/hbbwiki for most of the apps. The main reason these were uploaded is for my own personal needs and I understand it was a mistake, and it won't be repeated.
About the versions: I mainly use the download available in WiiBrew. USB Loader GX is not currently listed in WiiBrew so I simply took it from Sourceforge (Which I also understand was a mistake, I will try my best to contact the author for the latest version).
Really good news!
You should add the lastest versions of the emulators (Genesis plus GX, Fceum GX, Mednafen, Retroarch...) and modded ones (FBA Neo Geo compatible with the larger Neo Geo roms, SNES9x compatible with msu1...)
Keep it up!!!

Am I right in thinking this won't be able to detect already installed apps or available updates?
If so that's too bad. That was the primary benefit of Homebrew Browser, being able to easily update all your homebrew to the latest version with a couple button presses.
