i know this is a stupid question, but what can i actually achieve from using Bannerbomb
im on a virgin 4.0E, and though i understand it will run .dol files.....im not entirely sure what they are, and since it cant install homebrew channel, what exactly can i do with this release?
A dol is an executable homebrew file. Normally the homebrew channel will show a list of all dol files on sd and then you can pick one to run. With this bannerbomb, it will just load 1 dol located in the root. So grab any piece of homebrew you want to try, rename its dol to boot.dol and try it
ah right, cool, cheers man.
so that means i could run, say, USB loader and play some of my backups??
would this work with a downgrade?
and whats the risk of bricking your wii executing a .dol like this?
The backup loader requires the installation of a so-called Custom Ios. At this moment, I think that's still impossible on 4.0.
This BannerBomb will just load a dol, it's not a solution to the other security fixes nintendo has put in place.
The same thing applies to downgrading, that too will need a Custom Ios installed.
But you can run normal dol files to try it out. An emulator for example, I think that should work. There is no risk in running such files, as they only run in memory and do not affect the wii in any permanent way. If it crashes, just reboot.
