not doin something right
January 10, 2009 08:19PM
I have firmware v3.4u, twilight hack works but when it runs it stops and says cant read .elf (-1). i'm using a 1 gb sandisk microsd w/ adapter it is formatted in fat. i put the boot.dol file on the sd card and this is where in not sure if i'm doing this right or not. The wii is brand new bought a week ago has vote, mii, shop, news and weather channel. When it says to put boot.dol file in root dir i just extract the file to f:/ this may be wrong any help would be greatly appreciated!!

HBC installer 1.01
and
Twilight Hack2

You need an apps folder... it goes on the root of your sd card

umm... u can try puttin the homebrew browser.. but i was just at a wiibrew page and i saw this

If you get an error such as Failed to read boot.elf (-1), your SD card may not be formatted as FAT16/32. Try reformatting your SD card with the Official SD Card Format Tool

so you can try that...

EDIT: Yeah your right Dr. Lucky sorry about that... try the recommendation above..
