That exploit requires the Super Smash Brothers Brawl game, which isn’t necessarily hard to get or expensive to purchase, but the method we’ll be showing you has far fewer hoops to jump through.

#The homebrew launcher game card how to#

We’ve written previously about how to hack your Wii using a Super Smash Brothers Brawl exploit called SmashStack. In the past, Nintendo has issued system updates intended to improve performance but also remove “unauthorized channels or firmware may impair game play or the Wii console.” The focus of this article will to show you how to install HBC and HackMii soft mods on the latest and presumably last Wii system update (4.3), with a simple exploit called LetterBomb. To that end, we might think of the Homebrew Channel as an app launcher channel, which means you can copy special apps and games to your SD card and launch them through the HBC. For example, the Netflix channel on the Wii is nothing more than a glorified Netflix app, and so on. Channels are nothing more really than Nintendo’s version of apps. So when you open a channel, all it’s going to do is give you extended functionality above and beyond just playing games. So what is the Homebrew Channel? It’s simply what it sounds like, a channel, much like the Netflix or Nintendo eShop. It’s really hard to brick a Wii this way, but it could happen. Of course, the standard warnings and disclaimers apply: any changes or modifications you perform on your Wii are completely up to you and your sole responsibility.
