UPDATE! (2010-08-17):
Added Hack - Bannerbomb Enabler v2 (for 4.3x)
Thankyou to somewiifun for the Enable Bannerbomb v2 hack, and to petspeed, Slowking, and iancer for uhh... reminding me that I needed to update the hacks.ini with this hack.
Hello everybody.
Remember the all-in-one 4.1x / 4.2x hacks.ini that da_letter_a made a while back?
Well, since System Menu 4.3 came out, I have decided to port his hacks.ini to System Menu 4.3 of all regions, and have added my ported hacks in with his 4.1x / 4.2x hacks, continuing the "all-in-one hacks.ini" trend.
I have also added a stupid hack that I have made too.
Here's a list of what each hack is and does:
Replace Health Screen with Backmenu
The backmenu is the "return to sysmenu from game" animation the sysmenu does when you hit "Wii Menu" from a game, instead of displaying the healthscreen after trying to return from a game. This hack will actually replace the heathscreen with the backmenu, kindof to "skip" the healthscreen when you strat up the Wii.
Auto-Press A at Health Screen
When you start up your Wii, the healthscreen requires you to press the A button to continue into the main Wii Menu. This hack will automatically pres the A button for you.
Block Disc Updates
Every game has an update on it, but some try to kill homebrew. It is not a good idea to apply updates from import discs or from newer games which try to kill homebrew. These games will usually prompt you to apply their update, and refuse to launch otherwise. This hack blocks discs updates from being recognized, and allows you to play games without having to apply the updates.
Block Online Updates
The latest updates from Nintendo these days are solely for stopping homebrew and piracy, and are therefore dangerous to any homebrew you have installed. future updates will probably be just as bad. This hack will block your Wii from connecting to Nintendo's update servers, so if someone did try to update your Wii, they would be unable to.
No System Menu Background Music
If you do not like the System Menu's background music, use this hack to disable it.
No System Menu sounds AT ALL
This hack is similar to the one above, except it disables ALL the sysmenu's sounds, such as music and sound effects. Due to this, this hack allows the sound from the previously viewed channel banner to play in the rest of the system menu too.
Move Disc Channel
If you do not like where the disc channel is arranged by default, this hack allows you to move it to wherever you want so you can arrange your channels as you want them.
Remove NoCopy Save File Protection
Some save files (mainly ones with wifi data in them) cannot be copied to SD card and back (prevents transfering a game's personal wifi data from one Wii to another). This hack will make the System menu ignore whether or not the save is a "nocopy" save, and will allow you to copy (but not move) it to an SD card. the save file itself is still "uncopyable", but with this hack, the System menu will ignore this.
Recovery Mode (DISABLE below hack first)
This hack will make your Wii start into recovery mode every time you switch it on, and can allow you to boot regular games via the recovery menu.
Recovery Mode press Dpad-R on GC pad 4P
This hack is like the above mentioned one, but it will only activate the recovery mode if Dpad Right on GC controller #4 is pressed during system Menu startup, making it a lot easier to control when you want to load the recovery menu (compared to the above hack).
Region Free EVERYTHING
This one hack region-frees EVERYTHING, allowing you to load any import/out-of region game, whether it be a Wii disc, GC disc, Wii channel, and channels from the SD menu. However, it does not patch the game's video mode, so if the game you are trying to play does not support your Wii's current video mode, it will blackscreen.
Disable HAXX,DVDX,RZDx deletion (4.2 only)
System Menu 4.2 looks for channels with TitleIDs HAXX and DVDX (the old versions of HBC and DVDX), and it checks for twilight hack savegames every time you load the system menu up, and it deletes these if it finds them. This hack will disable the on-boot check so that these channels can be use with System Menu 4.2
No-Delete HAXX,JODI,DVDX,DISC,DISK,RZDx (4.3 only)
Like System Menu 4.2, System Menu 4.3 looks for and deletes HAXX, DVDX, and the twilight hack every time it is loaded, but 4.3 also looks for channels JODI, DISC and DISK, and deletes them if it finds them. JODI is the current Homebrew Channel, and DISC is the current DVDX, which are channels that most homebrewers would like to keep on their Wii. This hack, like the above one, disables 4.3's on-boot chack, so you can use these channels with System Menu 4.3.
Enable Bannerbomb v2 (4.3 only)
System Menu 4.3 blocks the bannerbomb exploit from being used on it. This hack will allow Bannerbomb v2 to be used with System Menu 4.3. But I am not sure hoe useful this hack would be seeing as you need a different way to run homebrew, to install priiloader, to enable this hack... but here it is anyway.
Force Wifi Connection Test Failure
This hack makes every internet connction test fail. I do not see the usefulness in this hack, but here it is anyway.
Blackscreen at Wii System Menu startup!
This makes your Wii load to nothing but a black screen. Good for locking people out of your Wii. Hold RESET to load up priiloader to disable it when you're done with it.
Freeze Wii at Healthscreen!
This is the silly one I made. It is like the above hack, but allows the user to get to the healthscreen before freezing on them, kindof to tease them!
And of course, the hacks.ini itself (updated):

Enjoy!
And now I have some questions:
1. Should I keep the "Force Wifi Connection Test Failure" hack, or should I remove it? Does it have a use?
2. GBATemp user somewiifun posted a "Bannerbomb enabler" hack for 4.3 over in this thread. Do you guys think it may be useful at all, and should I include it into this hacks.ini?
