  2. Mod Wii Homebrew

The Homebrew Channel enables you to run homebrew software including emulators, Wii programs, Wii games and homebrew media players. It is very unlikely that you will brick your Wii when installing the Homebrew Channel. Bricks from installing the Homebrew Channel can result from misnaming or installing them in the wrong way. Bricks can also happen from rearranging or deleting Wii system data when installing the Homebrew Channel.

Format your SD or SDHC card before it will be compatible with Wii homebrew software. To do this, insert the SD card into your computer and go to 'My Computer.' Right-click on the SD card. Select 'Format.' Choose 'FAT32' and 'Quick Format.' Select 'OK.'

Navigate to the HackMii website and download the HackMii installer. Once downloaded, extract the HackMii installer and you will find a DOL file. Put the DOL file on the root of your SD card.

Determine the hack you would like to use to install the Homebrew Channel to your Wii from the Wii Brew website. The Twilight Hack is for Wii System Menu 3.2-3.4. The Banner Bomb hack is for Wii System Menu 3.2-4.2. The Brawl Smash Stack and Indiana PWNs hack are for any Wii system menu. You must have either the 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl' game or 'Indiana Jones' game for the Brawl and Indiana hacks.

Place the files you download on the root of your SD card. Also place any apps files into a folder named 'Apps.' Place emulators into their corresponding folders and their ROMs into a folder named 'ROMS.' Most Wii applications, emulators and programs will tell you where to place them on the SD card for proper usage. Read the readme file included with the Brawl and Indiana hacks for additional information on how to boot them. These games require that you copy a hacked save file to your Wii and then play the game until a certain point to enable the hack. The Twilight and Bannerbomb hack are launched by going into the 'Memory Management' menu from the Wii and selecting the SD card. There will be a file on the SD card for the hack. You select the hack to initialize it.

Looking to hack, or 'homebrew,' your Wii? Don't buy a kit: All the homebrew tools you need you can find for free on the internet.

If you don’t know what homebrewing is, Lifewire can introduce you to the fascinating world of Wii homebrew.

Before you dive in, however, you should know that Nintendo didn't design the Wii to support homebrewing. So, there's no guarantee that using homebrew software won't harm your Wii. Lifewire.com is not responsible for any problems that arise from installing Wii homebrew. Proceed at your own risk. It's also possible that installing homebrew software could void your warranty.

Be aware, too, that Nintendo updates to the Wii may kill your Homebrew Channel (or even brick your Wii), so don't update your system after installing homebrew. To prevent Nintendo from automatically updating your system, turn off WiiConnect24. (To do so, select Options, and then select Wii Settings. You'll find WiiConnect24 on page 2.) You should also prevent new games from attempting to update your system.

It is a good idea to read the WiiBrew FAQ before proceeding.

Install Homebrew Software on Your Wii

  • A Wii console
  • An SD card formatted for FAT16 or FAT32
  • A computer with internet access
  • An SD card reader for your computer

Prepare Your SD Card, and Choose Your Installation Method

Before you begin, you must format your SD card. I formatted my card for FAT16 on the advice of a guy on Yahoo! Answers who said that the Wii reads and writes faster using FAT16 than FAT32.

If you've used this SD card before to install homebrew software, you may see a file on the card called boot.dol. If so, delete or rename it. Similarly, if you see a folder called private, delete or rename it.

If you're using a new SD card, Lifewire has instructions for formatting it on a Mac or on a PC running Windows.

At this point, you can either copy some homebrew applications to your SD card or wait until you've verified that everything was installed properly. For this article, I chose the latter option. Step 7 of this guide, Install Homebrew Software, walks you through the steps to install homebrew applications on your SD card.

The method you use to install homebrew software varies according to your Wii console's operating system. To determine which version of the operating system your Wii is running, in Wii Options, select Wii Settings. The operating system version number appears in the upper right corner. If your Wii is running version 4.3, you'll use the LetterBomb method; if your Wii is running version 4.2 or earlier, you'll use the Bannerbomb method.

Download LetterBomb, and Then Copy It to Your SD Card

Use this method if your Wii console's operating system is version 4.3.

  1. Plug the SD card reader into your computer.
  2. Open a browser on your computer, and go to the LetterBomb home page.
  3. Select the option corresponding to your operating system version (on the LetterBomb page, System Menu Version).
  4. Beneath MAC Address, enter the media access control (MAC) address of your Wii. To find the MAC address of your Wii:
    1. Select Wii Options.
    2. Select Wii Settings.
    3. On page 2 of Wii Settings, select Internet.
    4. Select Console Information.
    5. Note the MAC address.
  5. By default, Bundle the HackMii Installer for me! is selected: Leave it that way.
  6. The page has a reCAPTCHA security system. After you provide the required information, select Cut the red wire or Cut the blue wire. As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter which option you select. Either downloads the file.
  7. Extract the file, and then copy it to your SD card.

If you have a new Wii, this procedure reportedly won't work until you have at least one message in your Wii Message Board. If your Wii is new and you have no messages, create a memo on your Wii before going to step 3. To create a memo, go to the Wii Message Board by selecting the envelope in the little circle in the lower right corner of the main menu. Select create message, select memo, and then write and post a memo.

Begin Homebrew Installation (LetterBomb Method)

On your Wii console, open the door next to the game disc slot to see the SD card slot. Insert the SD card so that the top of the card faces the game disc slot. If the card goes only partway in, you’re inserting it backward or upside down. Pc clone ex lite.

  1. Turn on your Wii.
  2. When the main menu appears, select the envelope in the circle at the lower right of the screen.
  3. In your Wii Message Board, look for a special message, indicated by a red envelope that contains a cartoon bomb (see the screenshot).
  4. This message will most likely be in yesterday's mail, so select the left arrow to go to the previous day. According to the LetterBomb instructions, the message could also turn up today or two days ago.
  5. Select the envelope.
  6. Go to step 6. Steps 4 and 5 are for the Bannerbomb method.

Copy the Necessary Software to an SD Card (Bannerbomb Method)

Use this method if your Wii console's operating system is version 4.2 or earlier.

Go to Bannerbomb, and follow the instructions there.

In brief, you download Bannerbomb, extract it, and then copy the extracted file to your SD card. Next, you download the HackMii Installer, extract it, copy installer.elf to the SD card’s root directory, and rename it boot.elf.

The Bannerbomb site offers a few alternate versions of the software. If the main version doesn't work for you, go back and try the others one by one until you find one that works on your Wii.

Install Homebrew (Bannerbomb Method)

  1. If your Wii is off, turn it on.
  2. Select Wii Menu, and then select Wii (the little circle in the lower left corner.
  3. Select Data Management.
  4. Select Channels.
  5. Select the SD Card tab in the upper right corner.
  6. On your Wii console, open the door next to the game disc slot to see the SD card slot. Insert the SD card so that the top of the card faces the game disc slot. If the card goes only partway in, you’re inserting it backward or upside down.
  7. If prompted to load boot.dol/elf, select Yes.

Install the Homebrew Channel

A loading screen appears, followed by a black screen with white text telling you to demand your money back if you paid for this software. After a few seconds, the installer prompts you to press 1 on your Wii remote.

You perform the following steps using your Wii remote, highlighting items on the screen, and then pressing A on the remote to select them.

  1. A screen appears indicating whether you can install the homebrew items. This guide assumes that you can. (If you have an older Wii and are using the LetterBomb method, you may be given the choice to install BootMii as either boot2 or IOS. The Readme file included with LetterBomb explains the pros and cons of the two choices. Newer Wii consoles allow only the IOS method.)
  2. Select Continue, and then press A.
  3. On the screen that appears, select Install The Homebrew Channel, and then press A. When prompted to install the channel, select continue, and then press A. (From this screen, you can also run BootMii, the installer. If you're using the Bannerbomb method, you'll see a DVDx option, as well.)
  4. When installation is complete, press A to continue.
  5. When you’ve installed everything you want to install, select Exit, and then press A.

If you're using Bannerbomb, you can use the same procedure to install DVDx, which enables you to use your Wii as a DVD player (if you install media-playing software such as MPlayer CE). I don't know why DVDx isn't included in LetterBomb, but you can find and install it by using the Homebrew Browser.

Mod Wii Homebrew

After you exit, an indicator shows that your SD card is loading. When loading is complete, you’ll be in the Homebrew Channel. If you have copied homebrew applications into the apps folder of your SD card, you'll see them here; otherwise, you'll see a screen with bubbles floating on it. Press home on the remote, and then select exit to go to the main Wii menu. The Homebrew Channel now appears as one of your channels.

Install Homebrew Software

Insert your SD card into your computer’s SD card reader. Create a folder called apps in the card's root folder.

Now, you need software, so go to wiibrew.org.

  1. Select an application from wibrew.org. You should see a description of the software, with links on the right side to download it or visit the developer’s website.
  2. Select download link. Doing so either starts the download immediately or takes you to a website from which you can download the software. The software will be in a .zip or .rar file, so you'll need appropriate decompression software. If you have Windows, you can use an application such as IZArc.
  3. Extract the file into your SD card’s apps folder. Make sure that the new file is in its own subfolder. For example, if you install SCUMMVM, you should have a SCUMMVM folder inside the apps folder.
  4. Put as many applications and games as you like (and that will fit) on the SD card. When you're done, take the card out of your SD card reader and insert it in the SD card slot on your Wii console. From the main Wii menu, select The Homebrew Channel. Everything you copied to the SD card should appear on the screen. Select the item of your choice and enjoy.

The easiest way to find and install homebrew software on the Wii is by using the Homebrew Browser (HB). If you installed HB using the method here, reinsert the SD card in the SD card slot on your Wii console, select The Homebrew Channel, run HB, and download the software you want. HB doesn't list all the software available for the Wii, but you can see most of the available options.
