About Homebrew Channel

The Homebrew Channel is a Nintendo Wii application created by a handful of people. Using a customizable graphic user interface, or GUI, it allows users to launch homebrew applications and games on the Wii, without having to run the Twilight Hack first.
What's the Twilight Hack?

Created by Team Twiizers, the team first credited with hacking the Wii, the Twilight Hack allows users to run homebrew on unmodded Wii consoles. A hacked save game of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is used to launch applications stored externally on an SD card. Different versions of the save game are available, free to use, and correspond with the region of the game console.
What's Homebrew?

Since game consoles are basically computers, it's possible to create and run programs on them other than those intended by the original developer. Homebrew is basically an umbrella term used to define any programs, games or other utilities created or altered by consumers to run on different gaming consoles. There are homebrew communities for a variety of platforms, including the Nintendo DS, Sony PSP and Xbox 360. Homebrew applications include original games, media players, operating systems like Linux and console emulators.WiiBrew: Homebrew applications
What is Bannerbomb?

Bannerbomb is an exploit capable of launching homebrew from any version of the System Menu. It was created by Comex to replace the Twilight Hack, which does not work on System Menu 4.0.

The original Bannerbomb exploit does not work with System Menu 4.2, it only works with System Menu 4.1 or older. However Bannerbomb v2 has been released by Comex, and works on 4.2

The exploit works by using a malformed banner to crash the Wii and run code to load the boot.dol placed in the root of the SD card. It can be used to install the Homebrew Channel, DVDx and the BootMii public beta via the HackMii Installer.
