Hacking <How-To>Get Homebrew up and running using the Twilight Hack.

[Prime]

I'm having problems installing the Wad Installer.

I've got the homebrew channel up and running but I'm unsure how to get the installer working.

Where abouts in the SD Card should I put the folder? Should it be in the root or in the private/etc. folder

channel version or .elf version?

Currently .elf but once I get it working I'll move onto the channel. I'm just trying to see how to get the homebrew stuff to work...

Qs : Is this the only way to boot elf. even if you got a chipped wii?

I've got the hacked homebrew channel but everytime I load hombrew with the channel, my wii load the homebrew, I get the "press 1 and 2" screen from any hombrew but when it loads the "real" homebrew the wii stops loading and the only think I can do is to turn the wii completly off.

So in a nutshell you can run backups using this method too?

NO!

Wait, if you can use a WAD installer with this, does this mean we can already do this for WiiWare games? Or does someone need to introduce some kind of support for this?

I didn't realise you could do this much through the twilight hack! And maybe I'm just slow, but with this, and the USB mass storage device hack, and an extra person doing some work, will we be able to boot GC and Wii ISOs through this?

If you are using the homebrew loader then you make a new folder in the Homebrew folder and put the boot.elf in the new folder you made.

ignore the .dol, thats gamecube homebrew.

Hi,

I have the PAL version of TP and copied the right savefile onto my formatted (FAT) micrSD card. I copied the the file to my wii in the desired map and after that i put the boot.elf file in the root folder. This is the ELF file from WAD installer. So I run TP, open the save file, walk backwards and the text begins to roll...but then stops.. it shows: START CLUSTER = FFFF. This happens with every ELF file..every possible format (16, 32, normal FAT), i dont know what to do.. I checked everything and i dont understand why it ain't working.. Could someone help me please?

+ It only showed START CLUSTER = FFFF after I formatted it with FAT. Before that it stopped and showed START CLUSTER = 98789 (or something like that)

Greets,

Wouter (netherlands)

EDIT: I've edited this like 4 times now lol. Anyways, I got the wii launcher working. And the snes9x emulator working. But it's in black and white. How do I fix that? Also, are there any tutorials on WAD's? Cause I dont want to brick my system using them. I assume I HAVE to use the WAD installer?

Heh im glad the twilight hack is not need anymore. People of GBAtemp, Forget the homebrew channel, The Homebrew Launcher Channel is what you should pay attention to.

Try using the other amercia save. Yes you can use the wad installer as your boot.elf

What if the dump is a wad file and not an elf file?
Do I just rename it to .elf ?

no, you then install it via the wad installer.

No, you need TP.

As of now you do not need tp or the tp hack, you obviously dont know what youre talking about. Try looking at the latest version of the homebrew launcher.

......What?

What ever way you try to get homebrew running you'll always end up using TP. To install/use the homebrew loader you need TP. So yeah, i do know i'm talking about since i made this guide and i know alot about homebrew....

If you want to keep this up do it via pm's or else get lost.
