Wii Menu 4.0

Hey everyone,

I heard that the HomeBrew channel did NOT work on the Wii Menu 4.0 update. When will it work? Is that what Comex's Exploit is all about or what? Can somebody help me please, I'm confused here. And also, is there a way to install the channel WITHOUT buying Zelda? Thanks!!!

1. Exploit - A deed or act; especially, a heroic act; a deed of renown; an adventurous or noble achievement; as, the exploits of Alexander the Great.

With Comex's new exploit, you will NOT need to buy Zelda Twilight Princess. With his new exploit, you may be able to download the Homebrew channel with Wii System Menu 4.0. It is expected to release today or tomorrow.

The HBC works on 4.0, you just can't install it (until Comex's exploit and/or Team Twiizers exploit).

Mah SD card got corrupted, and it deleted everything on it. GRRRRRRR. WHEN I HAD 4.0 GRRRRRRR.

But now I have a new one! A SanDisk! Yahs!

how does your sd card even get currupted?

Idk, it got messed up.

OK thanks everyone! Almost everything is clear now! I can't wait for that to come out.
But I've got 3 more questions. (lol sorry for being a noob :s)

1. Does Nintendo like this, I mean the homebrew channel and all. I mean, as long as we don't pirate ROMS or WADS, do they care? Let's say I have the homebrew channel installed but no pirated ROMS or anything. Will they be able to track me down and freeze my Wii or something?

2. Somebody told me that we weren't going to be able to copy data to an SD card, and then not be able to copy it back. IS that true? Is it the other way around?

3. Let's say that I have homebrew installed on my Wii with 4.0. If Nintendo releases a 4.1 for example, will I have to uninstall the channel, update the Wii and then reinstall it again? Will the homebrew people have to create a new installer for the new update?

Thanks for helping out a noob!

1. Nintendo wont freeze (brick) your wii. The main (not only) reason people get bricks is because they do stupid stuff like unplug there wiis while installing wads(not allowed here)
2. i dont have 4.0 so idk, sorry
3. Wait for people like TT to test new updates. They will release if its safe to update

not necassarily true. I was formatting my wii (trying to downgrade my wii after my friend deleted my homebrew channel by attempting to put it on an sd card for his own wii, without permission I might add), and as I was trying to save data, I coulnd't move my Brawl or Mario Kart Data, so I felt I had to let them be formatted. I was able to move everything else to the sd card, and back on the wii after the format (and yeah, I know, the format didn't work), so it just seems to be those to games as far as I know, and you can't move the HBC or the twilight hack From an sd card. Then again...I could be wrong, it's just what happened to me

@guy above me

The twilight hack counts is a hacked savegame. The HBC is a custom (hacked) channel so no it can not be moved from the SD card to the Wii on 4.0 In fact, if you place the HBC on the SD card on 4.0 you will render the HBC useless and put yourself in a position where you must wait for a 4.0 installer in order to get the HBC back on your Wii Menu.

Also, formatting your Wii does not downgrade your Wii. Where the hell is everyone getting this idea from?

That's what I was wondering!

probably they thing that it reverts it to the way they got their wii, 3.2, or 3.3 ect...

they dont realize that they get it from the Web..

You know, I used to think that way too. But yeah, it's like a computer: you get the latest firmware or service pack, and the only way you can revert is if you have, say, a previous restore disc of the OS in a previous firmware or service pack state.

I can confirm that you CAN load HBC from SD card launcher, this must mean it can be copied back in to the memory. I updated to 4.0 while HBC was still in and then copied it to sd and launched it from sd launcher and then copied back and deleted sd card hbc

I HAVE A 4.1U WII JUST GOT HBW ON IT WITH PRELODER ?.WILL BOOT TO HBW ONLY BECOUSE SOME HOWE MENU IS CURRUPTED. HOWE WOOD I GO ABOUT FIXING IT ?.
