About TinyWiiBackupManager
TinyWiiBackupManager is an open source desktop app for managing game backups and homebrew applications for the Wii. It is written in Rust and Iced and is described by its project as a native app rather than an Electron app. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, with the supported versions listed in the project's README. It is licensed under GPL-3.0.
The app manages Wii and GameCube game files and Wii homebrew apps. Its Games view handles game files, and its Apps view and Open Shop Channel view handle homebrew. Some features fetch data from outside services. Cover images and wiitdb.xml come from GameTDB, and cheat codes come from several third-party sites. The project states that the tool is intended strictly for legal homebrew use and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo.
