Wii Twilight Hack Now Working with v3.3 Menu Update

The “Twilight Hack” is a way to safely run homebrew on an unmodded Nintendo Wii. Today the 0.1beta1 version came out with workaround support for the newest Wii System Menu update v3.3. A mere days after Nintendo patched the exploit in v3.2 with 3.3, this Twilight Princess homebrew launch hack is compatible with the latest Wii update. 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 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 circle of the data surface with the ones below.
| Different Versions | |||
| Region | Inner circle text | File | Save Slot |
| Europe/Australia | RVL-RZDP-0A-0 JPN | data.bin | Twilight Hack |
| Asia | RVL-RZDJ-0A-0 JPN | data.bin | Twilight Hack |
| America | RVL-RZDE-0A-0 JPN | data.bin | TwilightHack0 |
| America | RVL-RZDE-0A-0 USA | data.bin | TwilightHack0 |
| America | RVL-RZDE-0A-2 USA | data.bin | TwilightHack2 |
Next, follow these directions:
- Format your SD card to FAT16 or 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 (US), RZDP (Europe) or RZDJ (Japan) as appropriate based on the inner circle text. Copy the above “data.bin” file from the package with the matching directory path into the directory you created on your SD card.
- 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 the file corresponding to the correct save slot as indicated in the table above (US only), and either walk backwards, or talk to the guy that’s standing in front of you.

Why do I get the “data not copied” error?
what version are you running on your wii?
yep same here, data not copied
You have to use the correct data.bin that corresponds to the first Zelda disc you ever inserted into your Wii. If one doesn’t work, try another.

I have been attempting the HB hack w/ 0.1beta1 on 3.3 and I am also getting ‘data not copied’ error. I have checked to make sure I’m using the right version of the hack and I understand that the next step after this I need to run the correct save file. But no matter what I do, I can’t get the file to copy. Any ideas anyone?
make sure u are using a different sd card

HELP PLS HELP MEEEEEE I’m getting a ‘Data not copied’ error, is there any way around it? PLS HELP MEEEEE PLSSSSS
Is there a way to update the hack or uninstall the hack so a later version can be loaded. The reason for this is I have got the hack installed, hbc looks like it works fine but when I try a backup disk I get a no disk id error. I have had the backup disk tried in another machine and it works fine. Disk loader is version 0.1. Any help much appreciated.
Forgot to mention my wii firmware version is 3.3.
Same question: I’m using the 3.4 Wii firmware and I’m getting a ‘Data not copied’ error, is there any way around it? Anyone got an idea? Thx in advance

Why is it that everybody is complaining about the “Data was not copied” error, but NOT A SINGLE PERSON HAS RESPONDED! I’m getting the same error and I can’t find the solution anywhere!
The error is telling you that the file already exists on the console. Which if you have the disc needed to make this hack work, then more than likely a save file already exists. It dawned on me that I needed two SD cards to complete the copy without loosing my original save file.
1. Using a second SD card, copy your twilight prices file to the card. Keep in mind that this card should NOT have the twilight hack on it or you will get the error again.
2. After you have done that, erase the twilight princess file from the console.
3. Insert the SD card with the hack and follow the twilight hack instructions. (After home brew is installed, the twilight hack file deletes itself – at least it did with my version). If the twilight hack file is still in your console after successfully installing Home Brew, then erase it.
4. Put the second SD card that was used and copy the twilight princess save file to the console.
No errors. No data loss.
If you do not have 2 SD cards, do this…
Make sure the SD is blank. Copy file from console. Put file on computer. Put hack on SD card. Install homebrew. Delete hack. Copy save file from computer to SD to console.
NO WARRANTIES!
Good luck.
No homebrew for the time being guys. Nintendo released 4.0 and I dont know when it will be. R.I.P twilight hack
does twilight hack work with system menu 4.0?
Homebrew Channel will work, Twilight Hack will not.
are you sure Twilight Hack won’t work? i’ve got a v4.2 Wii. i really want the WAD files.
I would like to install homebrew on my V3.4. Will the Twilight hack work on 3.4?
this is wii channel
