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

[killplaystation]

Can you use any version of LOZ: TW? Has any newer version of LoZ: TW get patched so you cannot use the hack? Thanks.

At this point there is no new version of the twilight princess thats incompatible with the hacked save. You should be good to go

 

[cribby08]

Thanks alot.

I asked because I remember that GTA: LCS got pached for psp so you could not downgrade your psp anymore.


I appreciate the fast reply.

Hey, I'm just wondering, but can the Twilight Hack read .dol files? I know the Homebrew Channel can, but I'm just wondering.

 

[deba94]

Yes it can.

 

[boxhunter91]

I downloaded the European ISO of Homebrew Channel. How do I get it onto my wii just burn and play or do i need Twilight hack?

 

[deba94]

Yep, just burn and play. But keep in mind you will need a drivechip...

 

[imtony]

I only need to use TP once for the exploit to work and I won't need it anymore right? I can just rent from block buster and then return it after I'm done right?

 

[deba94]

Yep, I'd recommend this:

Yes if you install the homebrew channel or homebrew loader channel.

I haven't read through this whole thread, so please forgive me if my question has already been answered. But are the VC games available for play after doing the Twilight Hack? I'm having a really tough time finding info if all the VC games become available after using this hack.

Thank you for any info.

Sort of, yes. What you want to do is use the Twilight Hack ( http://hbc.hackmii.com/dist/twilight-hack-v0.1-beta1.zip ) to install the Hombrew Channel ( http://hbc.hackmii.com/dist/the_homebrew_c...l-beta_8.tar.gz ). Then you want to run the WAD Manager ( http://skhsarki.extra.hu/files/download/Ho...an11_Anorch.zip ) in the Homebrew Channel to install WADs (VC or WiiWare games) onto your Wii.

Nice! Thank you so much for explaining what to do, and linking everything also Lacius. You have no idea how appreciated that is.

Thanks.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted good info on this hack. I easily got the homebrew channel running and I am loving it.

What kind of SD card are you using? Also, if it doesn't find the boot.elf, it is a known problem, and you may want to send bushing a disk image of the card...

QUOTE

Can't find boot.elf? You can help!

We have received many reports of people who are experiencing errors reading boot.elf. Often, these problems are solved by reformatting the SD card, but we'd really like to fix this bug.

If you have an SD card that has this problem, please create a disk image of the card and send it to us. You can make a disk image using your choice of tools -- dd on Linux, Disk Utility on Mac, and you could try something like http://selfimage.excelcia.org/ for Windows.

Once you have the image, compress it, upload it to your choice of free filehosting services, and then contact bushing on IRC, or email me a link to the download at bushing at gmail. Thanks! Bushing 09:25, 25 June 2008 (CEST)

I read through this whole topic and tried to install TP hack. Followed the guide. START CLUSTER = xxxx fills the screen and just seems to keep going. How long do I have to wait for it? I have waited around 10 minutes already and have just pulled the plug on the Wii. It's still working though.

Unit is a Japan unit v3.2 chipped with D2CKey. I also tried using the HBC channel iso and it comes up as unknown disc. Also tried with the latest homebrew channel loader and TP hack save as well and still the same START CLUSTER = xxxx filling up the screen and never stopping.

Is the START CLUSTER = xxxx normal and how long do I have to wait until the channel is installed?

Thank you very much.

No, that is not normal.

I doubt this is the problem, but are you using the version of the Twilight Hack that your game needs, and what version of the Twilight Hack are you using?

What brand of SD card are you using?

Do you have an SD card inserted into the front slot, with a homebrew ELF file, named as 'boot.elf'?

Anyway, try to format your card to FAT16 with the Official SD Card Format Tool. Also, on Windows, it is just called 'FAT'. I don't know, but you might want to remove all files on the card, although I don't know if it is required.

 

[actino]

Hmmm.....

Yes I am using the corect version of Twilight Hack "RZDE0". I tried the "RZDE2" and it just hanged hehe.

Transcend SD

SD is inside slot with HBC boot.elf file on root

Was FAT16 when I started. I just formatted to FAT32 to try it out again later.

Thanks for the reply )
