In this episode Shannon hacks the Wii and shares her favorite homebrew with us. Matt connects 3CX to the PSTN and Darren sets up a network monkey client in Linux.

Twilight Hack

Wii Homebrew

You need a few things:

  • wii
  • wii mote controller
  • computer
  • internet access
  • small sd card formatted as FAT.
  • Zelda Twilight Princess for Wii
  • The Wii Brew Wiki
    Homebrew Channel

    How to install the Wii Homebrew Channel on your Wii using the Twilight Hack.

    Download the Twilight Hack. There are two versions, one for Wii system 3.3, and one for 3.4. I haven't updated mine, so I'm still on 3.3.

    Download the Homebrew Channel zip file.

    Also, if you want, go ahead and download some apps from the HackMii website. I suggest the Homebrew Browser so you dont have to copy apps to the SD card every time you wanna download something new.

    You'll need a small SD card 2 gig or smaller. Make sure to format your SD card as FAT. Do to this, right click on the SD card, and choose format. Simple!

    Put the SD card in your Wii, then turn it on. Go to the Wii Options-->Data management-->Save Data-->Wii section of the menu. Find your Zelda: Twilight Princess saved file, and copy it. If you havent played it yet, you might not have a saved file, so go ahead and play a bit. Put your SD card in your computer and copy the "Private" folder from the card to your comp, just in case you may need it in the future.

    Move the homebrew executable that you extract from the zip file to your SD card root directory and save it as boot.dol or boot.elf.

    Also, save the Twilight Hack Private folder from the extracted zip file to your SD card.

    Now, check out your Twilight Princess game CD. It should have some hard to read serial numbers inscribed on the inner circle. Match this serial with the corresponding "Save slot".

    RVL-RZDE-0A-0 JPN /private/wii/title/rzde/data.bin TwilightHack0RVL-RZDE-0A-0 USA /private/wii/title/rzde/data.bin TwilightHack0RVL-RZDE-0A-2 USA /private/wii/title/rzde/data.bin TwilightHack2
    Region Inner circle text File Save slot
    Europe/AustraliaRVL-RZDP-0A-0 JPN /private/wii/title/rzdp/data.bin Twilight Hack
    Asia (JPN) RVL-RZDJ-0A-0 JPN /private/wii/title/rzdj/data.bin Twilight Hack
    America (USA)
    America (USA)
    America (USA)

    Inside the private-->wii-->title folder are 3 folders with letters corresponding to the serials. Delete the two that don't match your cd.

    Put your SD card back in the Wii. Go to Wii Options-->Data management-->Save Data-->Wii and erase the Zelda save now. Open the SD card menu and choose Twilight Hack. Copy to the Wii.

    Stick your game CD in your Wii and boot up Zelda! Choose the save slot that corresponds with your serial. Mine was TwilightHack0. Go ahead and skip the intro, it doesn't hurt the hack. Once you see Link as a playable character, either walk backwards or talk to the guy in front of you. This will start up the hack install process, so just choose "Agree" to everything.

    You're done! Now you can play on the homebrew channel. Yay!

    Get the homebrew browser so you can download apps straight from the channel instead of shuffling your SD card around.

    To do that, simply stick the sd in your computer and create a folder called apps. Copy the homebrew browser folder and its contents over to the sd and back it goes to your wii!

    If you have some cool homebrew for the Wii, tell me about it or ask me any questions at Snubs@hak5.org.

    Don't forget to submit your questions@hak5.org and feedback@hak5.org and thanks for your contributions.

" This time on the shadow of the week twilight hack the follow up questions about important. -- monkey it. -- and more on this episode of Hak5. This week's episode of Hak5 is brought to you by godaddy and Netflix Squarespace. And viewers like you."

" Act I'm. And there it. Great show. But I am very happy. That. Leftists. Studio left I left the studio yeah. Well listen and all the school bus was like -- in its -- its board. -- But you all about -- watt -- yes. Packed house not watch. -- I think. Art. Or broadcast airs we'll talk about that at the end of the shows yet -- I do want to make mention of this -- you -- That the marketers raven. With the network alert them that this is his target. Aaron. This is. That ill. It was. He's head. It's all in. Actually. What it sideways. Like 9890. Degrees yeah. Now looking at you now I'm not. He loves you that's what you get for not mine -- now our. Other Internet. -- So what we have come up on the -- yes. It's good to get to be. The best. I'm excited because it's doing something that. At that time that's my problem. -- might -- your dollar and sitting there on the shelf collecting dust no I put the sticker. First and it's -- passed -- I guess I should say. Aaron slaves. War. Do you get one that we you know a publicly more doom on the Indian to my actual means that. But that's that's probably that it's not. Was it would hook it up but here. 360s. It over the and there all it all of them. All and it'll still quietly on and -- on the mixer but let's just. Makes room. -- so. Will be answering questions and show you of the details about interceptor and leave it to my PV six -- I think all night -- I didn't follow -- we have such a question that there. Just one quick. World's going to show how easy -- actually once the setup that we needed. Three weeks ago. Is complete how easy it is just to actually make calls. I am taking -- forward and submitting it off his proposal -- a I'm going to become a lot of money. I do let me mention that -- Use the it's the next. Posted on our show on corporate law -- quietly. It's -- that camera you've -- in Leo action on yours somebody's. Well hey."

" Yeah I really just. Hacker kids again. It's cool -- at the start land here. Oh that's new board in from the Pierre got some there's some new a new board the board plus plus do you guys remember let's talk about the teens youth development -- US on for possibly an -- well it turns out that it now does this is the TT plus plus as you can see it is slightly smaller than the original teensy. But. That's cute 63. Yes sixty we -- memory instead of sixty things that have sixteen. -- to -- in whatever and 46 digital in and out and the bath or eat analyst at six digital -- which digital and eight analog inputs and now I can hook up sell that and takes readings off itself. Going to be doing some more funds that would confuse you development board and other -- up later on read. And that's what and one issue -- a quick check that out on the Buttner. What he's doing now -- argues. That down okay you know which starts. It taught that you in the middle of lucky -- here. It. -- area."

" Now I just the I find it amazing you know. Real quick when did the are we know. Thanks Kate all what's up at so gone you -- apparently did it really star. I I remember I saw one about -- ever heard of -- this place yet but the it's rally earlier now is you're gonna ask for the bog things from bug labs there's."

" There interest in two additional bit more expensive to the whole idea between -- we behind arguing and and I said. Clarify that technically the is seeking to board while it will interface with your -- in your. It is technically not because arguing now. Requires. That the board schematic text audio and it's like if -- it's worth it's like that opens were the years you've heard of where the ingredients are laid out its. Freezing here no I'm sorry for his speech it's recent speech here I'm not share anyway Stallman is calling him gone. But. It's that kind of idea where. You know so this doesn't technically mean it's requirements but make work with the stuff happen if I -- into the -- so let's go right. -- know so it's got to show us yeah yeah and Europe. Cool yeah yeah and stuff you engines Aaron yeah if you steal from Becky. Yes -- that isn't it interesting to -- well. I'm still work. So well let's just go ahead anyway thank you. It's. Did you we have like ours suspend collecting dust on -- somewhere and that say that not a -- console but. Maybe I just don't have time today given the proper play -- and you want to kind of bring some new life into it Jenna has just the thing what is this we home rule out."

" We -- it's actually hungry channel that a bunch of hungry developers got together and -- absent video games. But you need this thing called the twilight hack to actually get this week. But it's -- we're going to model -- we we're going to insults is -- in the code I love and yet -- it's pretty cool I really like the well I guess you'll you'll -- schools and then we can get some cops and some games and other fun stuff from like and third and it's crazy I mean it's tell you -- about the browser. Which makes. You be able to download apps and video -- street from your Wii instead of having it take it as. Which can apps where we love it cool war how we get this going we here -- well there's a couple things that you need first -- You need normally it Wii mote controller. Your computer and an axis for both your -- and your computer. An SD card lamented as fat and Zelda twilight -- for your. Sweet so once we have all about how that we actually get -- act on her -- We system here so there's a couple of things got it at first there's a couple of files that -- the first one is -- one -- to you. -- that and this kind of depends on. What's. Version of the we you actually asked I have one that's. Three point three or less if -- in the system yes that's today it's I'm gonna line. Three point three yet three point 40 or higher -- I think three four's how cool to be. And you'll download the beat it's you I'm always and -- Amber's behind because they know that's just how it is the home -- it's like I do an update I'm like yeah let's let facts that are available -- to get into the I have I have this thing work in my my alias and I went excellent I'm hot updating. The second would you have Charles Liu of them and that's where the channels -- file is and that's the former pop bubbles great. But it's aware and we get that this. So there's a couple want -- web -- is you the first ones we've through dot work and a second one is hackneyed dot com. Also if you've got -- and some games from -- and hackney website or the Wiki. I definitely suggest check up a group browser because that -- you don't have to copy apps and games here at. You can just get -- story from the only channel through. -- Excellent so let's go ahead and load up that -- do it. So is SD card. SB tickets or smaller. And you have to form -- it -- fat that's really easy to do you just right click on it. It's format press okay. After -- put it into here we. And then you go. -- ended up -- here we options menu. Data management save data. And we section at the menu. Going to find your Zelda twilight princess saved file and you're going to cop that copy them over to your SD card. If you haven't played Zelda twilight princess on your -- you wouldn't do that to say have -- save files go -- It's last. Craps player person to that address and -- things like. Rubles -- This is all of them right after you get that -- file on here ST. Your SD card in here computer and copy the private folder which is like going to be copied and on here and it. You might immediately. -- who do that the files right. So those files that I mentioned extracting her here. -- going to move back home -- executable that you extracted from the zip file here ST hurt root directory and save it as the dot deal I'll -- it -- Health. Osce do want to save the twilight hack private folder from the extracted sinful act here ST Carswell."

" So essentially we're taking. The save game file that we got from the twilight princess hack and replacing. Ours saved game file with that replacing actors would it be wrong for me to assume that now we're going to pop that card back and -- and copy is that governor."

" You they. But first you do want to check out there -- And so on your CDs it's going to be some serial numbers which are etched in -- Really small inner circle right year and usually they start with like our GD. Our genes chain something. It doesn't really. What matters is that at the very end it says. Zero JP and for Japan or zero a free USA this. Gives you whichever Tennessee it's like you need to open up on sell -- when you start a game. Inside the private Wii title folder are three different colors with letters corresponding to the cereals. Delete the to that don't match your CB. Then you put your SD card McEntee that we go to -- options data management -- data we and it -- policies. And an open SD card menu and choose the twilight hack copy that's you that we after you do that."

" This time on the shadow of the week twilight hack the follow up questions about important. -- monkey it. -- and more on this episode of Hak5. This week's episode of Hak5 is brought to you by godaddy and Netflix Squarespace. And viewers like you."
