Title: Homebrew Channel takes too long to load?
Post by: Bube on August 25, 2008, 10:47:02 AM
Ok, I installed the HC, and booted it up for the first time. I waited 50 minutes, and all I saw were those bubbles, slowly mocking me. The globe icon in the bottom left corner was white, so it must have been doing something, but how long does it take!? Please help me, I'm thinking about uninstalling it right now..

I have a 1Mbps download speed, btw.

what about, erm, inserting an SD-card where you've saved some apps? the globe icon indicates that the HBC is connected to the Internet.

the globe should be, if you're using the most recent version, on the bottom right corner along with the Gecko icon.

re-install if its a problem with the HBC or remove GCN memory cards and make sure SD card is fully inserted

Yes, even though I said bottom left, it's bottom right, my mistake..

My SD card was fully inserted, but I had no apps on it. I thought the HBC was to download apps? That's why I didn't even try to manually put them on my SD card.

lol no, the HBC was to EXECUTE apps. the HBC BROWSER was to download apps.  (even though it never worked for me... it just updated the Browser and updated some other things, but didn't download anything... or maybe I'm just using it wrong.)
