Homebrew Status: March 2008

Whats new in the Wii homebrew land?

Team Twiizers are working on an easier way to launch homebrew applications, having a separate homebrew channel will be beneficial to open a bigger user base of Wii homebrew. However earlier this month Team Twiizers informed us that they will NOT be making a loader for backup games due to legal reasons.
In the future we have a lot more wii homebrew applications coming up and more developer groups will begin to show their interest in this platform.

Cheers!

Team Twiizers - Wii Homebrew Channel Loader

Upcoming Team Twiizers will release their Wii homebrew channel soon. Check the video out, its great quality too, enjoy.


Wii Homebrew Channel - video powered by Metacafe

Twilight Hack 0.1 Alpha 3a!! is out

Download it here!

More and more features. We are all thankful for all development!

Latest changes:

0.1alpha3a

Correctly loads geckoloader code from USBGecko flash

0.1alpha3

Front SD slot is now supported; SDGecko slot support has been removed.

FAT16 is now supported; you should save your ELF executable on your SD card as "boot.elf".

RZDJ is now supported

Added support for Geckoloader stub: If you have a USBGecko installed and have already run the Geckoloader program to install into flash, then the Twilight Hack will try to load that stub if it does not detect an SD card.


For new users, this is what you need:

You will need:

• 1x Wii
• 1x SD card, formatted as FAT16 (There seems to be a problem with formatting an SD card as FAT 16 in OS X, try to format your card in Windows.)
• 1x copy of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that has been run at least once
• 1x Computer
• 1x Some way to read SD cards on a computer
• (Optional) 1x or more GameCube controller
• (Optional) 1x USBGecko

Inside the zip archive, you will find several savegame files; you will need to choose the correct one based on your version of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The easiest way to check your version is to compare the text string which is on the inner cycle of the data surface with the ones below.

• RVL-RZDP-0A-0 JPN - rzdp0.bin
• RVL-RZDE-0A-0 JPN - rzde0.bin
• RVL-RZDE-0A-0 USA - rzde0.bin
• RVL-RZDE-0A-2 USA - rzde2.bin
• RVL-RZDJ-0A-0 JPN - rzdj0.bin

• If it does not already exist, make a directory called "/private/wii/title/RZDx/" on your SD card; replace "RZDx" with RZDE, RZDP or RZDJ as appropriate. Copy the above file into that directory, renaming it as "data.bin".

• Next, take your homebrew Wii executable, and save it in the root directory of your SD card as "boot.elf".

• Now, put the SD card into your Wii and turn it on. Go into Wii Options --> Data Management --> Save Data --> Wii. Find your Zelda save, click on it, and click "Erase", and click Yes. Now, go into SD card, and select the "Twilight Hack" save (the icon says "Wiibrew Loader"). Click copy, and yes. Now, go back out of that menu.

• Insert Zelda, and run the game. Load file A, and walk backwards.

WriteELF GUI using WriteELF 1.6

Download WriteELF GUI
What is this?:

In the first place, WriteELF lets you write files on your SD card using your pc. This version of WriteELF GUI uses WriteELF 1.6


HOW TO USE:

1. To use this program, you need to download a copy of the WriteELF program first.
   
   
2. Extract the writeelf.exe file to the same folder as the WriteELF GUI program.
   
   
3. Connect the SD Card to your computer.
   
   
4. Open the program. Choose the .ELF file and choose the drive where the .ELF file will be written.
   
   
5. If needed, you can choose the -z option to clean the SD Card before writing the ELF file (the SD Card WILL NOT be formatted, only their first sectors will be cleaned).
   
   
6. Click on the GO button. A new window will pop up. Wait until the writing process finishes.
