The Homebrew Channel for the Nintendo Wii, an open-source loader that lets users install and run homebrew applications on a Wii console. It is written in C and was a foundational tool of the Wii homebrew community.
Use cases
- install homebrew apps on a wii
- run custom software on wii console
- load wii homebrew games and emulators

When to choose
- you want to study the source of the classic Wii homebrew loader

When to avoid

- you need a legally clean toolchain, as libogc contains code copied from the Nintendo SDK and RTEMS
