    Hacking Loading .elf file?

    AFAIK, Homebrew Channel can still be used without internet access - it just won't update, and programs that use internet (homebrew browser, IOS/firmware downgrader, FTPii) won't work. Other than that, it should be fine.

    Hacking IOS and cIOS Clarification

    Since nobody answered, a "banner brick" is when you install a bad WAD. Essentially, it's a WAD with some problem, such having the incorrect dimensions by even 1 pixel. Because Nintendo expected to be able to simply install a WAD on one of their Wiis before releasing it, they didn't build any...

    Hacking Have you ever shown your friends about Wii hacking?

    That's one thing that I dislike about Wii homebrew - it makes me feel like a script-kiddie. A hacker is NOT someone who breaks into banks and other people's computers, however. Here's some quick definitions Hacker - A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how...

    Hacking Have you ever shown your friends about Wii hacking?

    I've told quite a few people, mostly when they're over and say "what games do you have?" and I respond by plopping a spindle of DVD-Rs on their lap. I've only installed it personally on one console - my own. When people ask, I usually tell them the basic process - in the Wii Zelda game...

    Hacking how do you make

    *cough cough* WADder *cough cough* I am allowed to at least speak of it, right? After all, I'm not posting of it or telling where to get it (and although older builds can be found via Google, the newest one, 1.1.1 cannot). Anyway, with that, you just give it your images, boot.dol, and sound...

    Homebrew WiiSX help

    I'm getting the same error, too. However, I've heard from people that do have it working that it is a slow FPS (playable or not, I'm not sure. I consider playable to be 40+ FPS on a NTSC - native 60FPS - game) and without sound. Although later developments may make this possible, I will stick...

    Hacking Help Unbricking my Wii (PLEASE)

    If you can load anything at all, you're ok. Team Twiizers released the Twilight Hack for 3.4 - the only thing is that 3.4 deletes it after every boot. Just copy the TP-hack save over, and load TP without rebooting. Twilight Hack to AnyRegionChanger or the Firmware Downgrader and install 3.2

    Hacking do DVD+R's work for Backups?

    yes, they do. I only use DVD+Rs, and I have yet to have a backup not work for me (I always backup NTSC discs and run WiiBrickBlcoker first, just in case) Just make sure the booktype is DVD-ROM. I use Nero 8, and it has the ability to do this.
