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

[ether2802]

This may have been asked, but how would I roll the Wii Back if i want to remove the Twilight Hack?? Is there any way to undo it?

*the*weAve*

Delete the hack from the Wii Settings, and the channel too, or just upgrade to 3.4 and then format your Wii...!!

QUOTEYAY GOT IT WORKING. If I can do it, ANYONE can do it and I mean ANYONE..it was SIMPLE once I figured out what the heck I was doing..Thanks SO much to a certain someone on this forum who assisted me, he knows who he is :-) I have a question though, when I put in a back up disc, he told me that I have to use that backup manager program(the one with the two discs on it) to play it..I am on NTSC-USA..and I already checked with WiU 1.1 to make sure that the programs are INDEED USA versions..if I put in a disc and I open up the backup program, I dont have to worry about the Wii Bricking because I put in a disc right..thanks so much

No worries, just insert the burned game and start the Backup Channel...!!

What should I do if my SD card (1gb) isn't showing any files or folders when I open it on my wii, even though I know I placed the files there. I have version 3.2u by the way

 

[ether2802]

in the Homebrew Channel or in the Wii Settings...??
how is the structure of your files..??

for HBC: make an apps folder in the root of the sd card
make a folder in the apps folder named like the app
inside that map, put your boot.dol,icon and meta.xml file

Also, reformatting the sd card might help

how do i reformat the card

Wait, so if i don't have legend of zelda for wii it won't work, why do I need that anyway?

 

[ether2802]

enter into "MY PC" right click over the SD card and the FORMAT function must be there...!!

EDIT: Ohhhh forget it, without zelda you can't install the homebrew channel nor use the twilight hack, BYE...!!

Hey there..I am burning Shaun White Snowboarding right now. I am gonna wait for you to come online so that I can go ahead and put the game in..so nervous LOL. It's burning it as AUTO on Imgburn but the disc is 2x so its going kinda slow, I don't mind. I kept Verify on just to keep things on the safe side. Thanks so much for helping me..U ROCK!!

Shaun White requires IOS Patching, I think.

You done that?

 

[rosey123]

right then please help everything is on the sd card as advised however when putting in to my wii it does not come up, it is reading the card as in the sd card the file is there please help

 

[ether2802]

there is nothing to come up in the Wii, you need to copy the file from SD to Wii then start Zelda Twilight Princess...!!!

hi everyone,

i'm a bit confused, in the first post it said

EDIT:

I recommend you use the Homebrew Channel instead of the loader, you then wouldn't need twilight princess

But then after reading more posts, it looks like we need it?

Does it mean that we won't need twilight princess after the first use? We can just rent the game and then use Homebrew channel?
Or that we don't need it at all?

you'll have to use it once to install the HBC (HomeBrew Channel)
from then on you can use the HBC and you can leave TP alone

thanks for the quick reply.
if i can just ask one more question,

I have 3.3E pal. Do you recommend i downgrade? Or is it unnecessary?
Is it hard to downgrade?

There are two versions of 3.3
the bad one (3.3v2) and the good one (3.3v1)
If you have the good one you don't really need to downgrade cause most homebrew will work fine
However, if you want to do things like backup launching I still advise downgrading to 3.2
Its the only firmware Starfall (block updates) works on
I dont know what you wanna do (what apps you wanna use)? Theres a lot of possibilities

 

[iamnewhere]

ohh okay. I'm not really too sure which apps i wanna use atm, i will read around a bit more and post again.
I most likely will want to do backup launching though.
Is there any way to tell whether i have the good one 3.3v1 or the bad one?

I think it only said 3.3E

 

[ether2802]

Use Wad Manager to install any .wad file, if it works with no error on more than 3 files, then you have the good one (3.3v1) and if on every attemp, even after you re-format your SD got an error, then you have the bad one (3.3v2)...!!

[Digital1980]

I'm about to use the tutorial & files over at Haklab for my first softmod. Any advice?

Yes, use the twilight hack for v3.4
