Nintendo Wii Twilight Hack – Now Supporting FAT32

The “Twilight Hack” is a way to safely run homebrew on an unmodded Nintendo Wii. Today the experimental version 0.1alpha3b came out with support for FAT32 formatted SD cards. This could be helpful if you receive an error message while loading boot.elf using FAT16. To run this hack, you need a Wii (duh), the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that has been run at least once on your Wii, and an SD card. The hack zip file contains several versions of save games that you will need to choose correctly depending of your version of the Zelda game. The easiest way to check your version is to compare the text string which is on the inner cycle of the data surface with the ones below.

Different Versions
Region	Inner circle text	File
Europe/Australia	RVL-RZDP-0A-0 JPN	rzdp0.bin
Asia	RVL-RZDJ-0A-0 JPN	rzdj0.bin
America	RVL-RZDE-0A-0 JPN	rzde0.bin
America	RVL-RZDE-0A-0 USA	rzde0.bin
America	RVL-RZDE-0A-2 USA	rzde2.bin

Next, follow these directions:

Format your SD card to FAT16 (In Windows it’s called just “FAT”) or with 0.1alpha3b FAT32 if it is not already.
If it does not already exist, make a directory called “/private/wii/title/RZDx/” on your SD card; replace “RZDx” with RZDE, RZDP or RZDJ as appropriate. Copy the above file into that directory, renaming it as “data.bin”.
Next, take your homebrew Wii executable (find some here), and save it in the root directory of your SD card as “boot.elf”.
Now, put the SD card into your Wii and turn it on. Go into Wii Options –> Data Management –> Save Data –> Wii.
Find your Zelda save, click on it, and click “Erase”, and click Yes.
Now, go into SD card, and select the “Twilight Hack” save (the icon says “Wiibrew Loader”). Click copy, and yes. Now, go back out of that menu.
Insert Zelda, and run the game. Load file A, and either walk backwards, or talk to the guy that’s standing in front of you.
