Bummed because you’ve got a new Wii and the Twilight Princess hack won’t work on it? Have an older Wii but you don’t want to buy Twilight Princess just to install Homebrew? Try the free and easy bannerbomb exploit.
Last year we showed you how to use the Twilight Princess hack to install the Homebrew Channel and various goodies like DVD playback. The bannerbomb exploit is the newest way to install the Homebrew Channel and works on the newest systems, unlike Twilight Princess—which has been a defunct hack since menu 4.0 was introduced.
How does it work? The hack exploits the Wii menu itself, loading a fake banner which causes a system crash and allows the exploit to load unsigned code. During our field testing it took—not counting time to carefully read the instructions and take photographs—less than ten minutes to complete the process.
For this hack you’ll need a Wii, an SD card formatted to FAT, a copy of the bannerbomb file (I’ve linked to the banner bomb exploit file that works for the most number of Wii units right out of the gate; if it doesn’t work for you, visit the main page and try some of the other versions), and the HackMii installer. The following instructions are an expanded photo-pictorial version of the instructions found on the bannerbomb exploit author’s site.
