Twilight Hack 0.1alpha3

0.1alpha3 Changlog

Front SD slot is now supported; SDGecko slot support has been removed.
FAT16 is now supported; you should save your ELF executable on your SD card as "boot.elf".
RZDJ is now supported
Added support for Geckoloader stub: If you have a USBGecko installed and have already run the Geckoloader program to install into flash, then the Twilight Hack will try to load that stub if it does not detect an SD card.

Excelent news!

And I've just got a Twilight Princess copy!

 

[fischju]

Ok, I have an original launch-version NTSC TP, a Wii, and an SD card. What can I do with this?

you can run Wii homebrew programs (save the Wii homebrew program as boot.elf on the root of the SD card) on a unmodded (or modded) Wii

from http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Twiligh...51#Installation
CODEYou will need:

ÂÂÂÂ* 1x Wii
ÂÂÂÂ* 1x SD card, formatted as FAT16
ÂÂÂÂ* 1x copy of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that has been run at least once
ÂÂÂÂ* 1x Computer
ÂÂÂÂ* 1x Some way to read SD cards on a computer
ÂÂÂÂ* (Optional) 1x or more GameCube controller
ÂÂÂÂ* (Optional) 1x USBGecko

Inside the zip archive, you will find several savegame files; you will need to choose the correct one based on your version of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The easiest way to check your version is to compare the text string which is on the inner cycle of the data surface with the ones below.

ÂÂÂÂ* RVL-RZDP-0A-0 JPN - rzdp0.bin
ÂÂÂÂ* RVL-RZDE-0A-0 JPN - rzde0.bin
ÂÂÂÂ* RVL-RZDE-0A-0 USA - rzde0.bin
ÂÂÂÂ* RVL-RZDE-0A-2 USA - rzde2.bin
ÂÂÂÂ* RVL-RZDJ-0A-0 JPN - rzdj0.bin

ÂÂÂÂ* If it does not already exist, make a directory called "/private/wii/title/RZDx/" on your SD card; replace "RZDx" with RZDE, RZDP or RZDJ as appropriate. Copy the above file into that directory, renaming it as "data.bin".

ÂÂÂÂ* Next, take your homebrew Wii executable, and save it in the root directory of your SD card as "boot.elf".

ÂÂÂÂ* Now, put the SD card into your Wii and turn it on. Go into Wii Options --> Data Management --> Save Data --> Wii. Find your Zelda save, click on it, and click "Erase", and click Yes. Now, go into SD card, and select the "Twilight Hack" save (the icon says "Wiibrew Loader"). Click copy, and yes. Now, go back out of that menu.

ÂÂÂÂ* Insert Zelda, and run the game. Load file A, and walk backwards.

Wait so no need for USBGecko anymore? Testing now!!!

 

[fischju]

Is there a wii bootloader for gamecube homebrew?

 

[g4jek8j54]

Has anyone else tried this on the 'RVL-RZDE-0A-2 USA' version of Twilight Princess? Whenever I try to talk to the guy, the game just crashes with a buzzing sound.

EDIT: I realize what I did. I copied the wrong file over to my SD card.

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

Whooo! How well does the SNES emu work? I have games I haven't gotten around to playing yet.

There currently isn't an SNES emulator that has been edited to work on the Wii, only Genesis. I believe the Genesis one works pretty well.

 

[science]

Excelent news!

And I've just got a Twilight Princess copy!

*burns a copy of TP*

 

[CrimsoniteX]

Holy shit it works

 

[jesterscourt]

So how long until we can play backups off the SD cards?

 

[g4jek8j54]

I was able to boot Genesis Plus off the internal SD slot, however, it still currently needs the SD Gecko in the GameCube slot to read ROMs.

 

[notnarb]

Why isn't this front page'd yet?

 

[bubbleboy]

This is BIG.

Until now you had to have a stupid gecko thing which nobody wanted to buy (legacy GC stuff that will never get used again), now ANYONE with ZTP and an SD card can run homebrew.

Now I hope bushing releases the wiimote driver.. he demonstrated it, it's been coded, why's he not making it public? I know it's his work, just wondering why you wouldn't want to share that with some budding homebrew coders...

Is there a wii bootloader for gamecube homebrew?

No but there is a DOL to ELF converter that works fairly well:
http://www.wiigen.fr/index.php?option=com_...8&Itemid=46 (in French but there is a nice picture saying download or just search for télécharger)
I would start off with stuff in appended mode though as you are likely to run into the same issues as g4jek8j54.

 

[Talaria]

Could a indie Wii Freeloader be constructed from this for unmodded consoles? Could some great homebrew emulators arise? Who knows

 

[kallekall]

Woho! I been waiting for this for a long time now. Good that I never did buy a Gamecube->SD adapter

 

[FAST6191]

@Talaria Datel might do something (they have done it plenty of times in the past) and there is a loader (although I am unsure if it is currently geared towards this or not): http://www.elotrolado.net/hilo_SDLoader-co...rga-DOL-_972190
