The new Wii exploit known as "bannerbomb" has just been released, and is ready from download from the official website!
This hack is compatible with almost every Wii out there, and using it is plainly straightforward, you just have to download the aad1f_v102.zip file, and extract it on an SD card. (The ZIP file contains a folder named PRIVATE, don't rename it or move the content in another position)
After this, you have to add an homebrew executable, named boot.elf or boot.bin, placed in the SD card root.
Then, go to the Wii settings, Data Management, Channels and then SD (top left). After doing this, insert the card.
Now, it should happen one of this 3 possibilities:
- You are asked to "Load /boot.dol", select Yes, and the desired homebrew will be loaded
- Otherwise, it can appear a dialog - complete the survey
- Or, it can freeze. In this case, there are two reasons. One reason is that maybe you selected a wrong section; maybe you are in the SD menu (from the main menu), or in the saved games menu. Otherwise, as noticed by bushing, your Wii is one of those "strange" Wiis, so try to download another version, like aad20_v102.zip, aad22_v102.zip, aad1e_v102.zip or aad26_v102.zip
What homebrew we have to install?
Obviously the homebrew channel! Download it from the official website, choosing ".DOL (For usage with Twilight Hack & other booting methods)"
For extract the file, you might need 7-Zip (free) or Winrar (shareware)
Please note: if your firmware is the 4.0 version, you have to wait bootmii for installing the homebrew channel. There is another hard way to install it, by downgrading the firmware, but is risky and I don't recommend it as it can render your Wii useless
Have fun!
