Originally developed by teknecal, the
Homebrew Browser was an app repository for the Wii first released in
June of 2008.
To make it usable 15 years later, we, the Open Shop Channel, modified it to connect to our
servers. While showing its age in many places, it
is still the most popular way to use the Open Shop Channel, because of the convenience of it
running on the console itself.
