This video demonstrates how to hack your Nintendo Wii and install the Homebrew channel. You will need the following: Zelda Twilight Princess (Wii version), SD card, SD card reader, and a computer (Mac or PC)

This tutorial only works if you have Wii firmware 3.4 or less. If you have 4.0 or 4.0U, fret not - I just installed it on my friend's using Bannerbomb (google it). If you are using Bannerbomb, you DO NOT need Zelda Twilight or the Zelda hack.

Step 1 - Play Zelda at least once and create a save file in the game.

Step 2 - Check which version of Wii menu you're running (mine is 3.4)

Step 3 - Check which version of Zelda you have by looking at the writing on the underside of the game disk (vers. 0 or 2)

Step 4 - Insert SD card into reader and insert reader into your computer

Step 5 - Download the Zelda Twilight Hack: http://hbc.hackmii.com/download/

Step 6 - Download the HackMii Installer: http://bootmii.org/download/

Step 7 - Rename the HackMii Installer file from installer.elf to boot.elf

Step 8 - Put both the Zelda Twilight hack files and the HackMii boot.elf files onto your SD card

Step 9 - Insert your SD card into your Wii

Step 10 - Go to Data in your Wii Options menu, erase your original Zelda save file, open the SD portion, select the appropriate Twilight hack save file and select copy

Step 11 - Insert Twilight Princess

Step 12 - Run Twilight Princess, select appropriate save file (0 or 2)

Step 13 - When the game starts up, run backwards. This triggers the install program.

Step 14 - Follow the simple prompts to complete the install

Step 15 - Create an apps folder and stick it in the root of the SD card (all your apps go in there).

Step 16 - Enjoy your hacked Wii!

  • Stop making up stories.  There's no way that can happen. You don't understand how computers work.

  • I dont get your video, so after i download everything how do i get a game to work thru homebrew?

  • After everything is installed in your Wii and you have the Homebrew Channel, just stick the game files in the apps folder.

  • i think i have 4.0 i dont kno how do i check? if i do can i still hak? can i down grade

  • You can't downgrade but you can use something called Bannerbomb to install the Homebrew Channel.
