Launch Homebrews on any wii (= or < 4.1)

Lancer des Homebrews sur n'importe quelle wii (= ou < 4.1) Here is a tutorial explaining how to launch homebrews from A to Z on your Wii on any firmware (= or < to 4.1).

IMPORTANT: Neither I nor the Tgames forum can be held responsible for problems resulting from the use of this tutorial. So know that you use it at your own risk.


Required equipment:

- A European Wii (= or < 4.1).
- An SD card.
- A way to read your SD card via your computer.
- The pack to download.


WARNING: If you're on 4.0, you can't install the Homebrew channel, you'll first need to downgrade your wii to a lower firmware, then try the installation...

The pack contains: (Download the ready to use pack:Pack Ready To Use By Tgames.rar - 680 KB )


- Bannerbomb alpha V1.0.8


Using the exploit to launch a Homebrew.


- Copy-Paste the "private" folder to the root of your SD card.
- Copy-Paste your homebrew renamed to "boot.dol" to the root of your SD card
- Put your SD card in your Wii.
- Turn on your wii.

- Select the button at the bottom left on the Wii menu.

- Select the "Data Management" button

Image unavailable (removed by its host)
- Select the "Channels" button
- Select the "SD Card" button at the top right
- A message appears, select "Yes"
- The homebrew launches!

If you get an error message:

- Delete the private folder from your SD card
- Open an archive from the "Alternative" folder (any one)
- Copy its contents to the root of the card.

If it still doesn't work, try again with another archive, you'll eventually succeed ;)

Tgames is always so efficient, well done for your responsiveness and thanks for this tutorial!
(I would have liked it if he'd taken a little tour through the tutorial submissions so I could fix a few mistakes but oh well ^^, it's still readable don't worry ;) )

Uh shouldn't we rather copy-paste the one included in the RTU pack?

Should try launching the boot.dol from the "firmware downgrader 1.11" to try going down from 4 to 3.2 ;)

Who wants to give it a shot? (with a blank 4.0e obviously) :?:

EDIT: no, not possible, you need cios36 rev7 or higher :cry: sorry

there's an easier way take the bomberman folder + the boot.dol from wad manager all you have left to do is install whatever you want I did it on two wii consoles 4 including one on 3.2 then 4 and then 4 to 3.2 just by installing the wads via channels

when you put the bannerbomb on the SD card, you need to rename the old private folder to privateold and not merge the two folders! otherwise it freezes!!

Hello :angel:
So I just tried the tutorial with the private folder error message: installation invalid
so I tried the alternatives too and nothing either for most of them they don't start the screen freezes as soon as I click on SD in the channel option for the others same error message.
I tried connecting the wii to the internet or without a connection without it changing anything, I did properly install the boot.dol file from my homebrew channel at the root and nothing works (note I only put the boot folder maybe I need to install the whole homebrew or just this file???) Does anyone have an idea to help me? :62: Because I'm starting to get a bit fed up

I updated the tutorial you can try again now...

Just a reminder that to install the Homebrew Channel, you need to use this homebrew from this tutorial:

https://www.tgames.fr/tutoriels-wii/inst ... t1774.html

The installer for previous versions of the Homebrew Channel,
doesn't work on a blank wii on 4.0!
