How to Install The Homebrew Channel Using BannerBomb

Needed

  • A Wii that has a serial number less than LU64
  • An SD card
Instructions

Step 1: Plug your SD card into the computer. If it has a "private" directory rename it (ex. to "privateload").

Step 2: Download this and extract it to the root of your SD card.

Step 3: Download the HackMii Installer and put it in the root of your SD card as boot.elf.

Step 4: Insert your SD card into your Wii and go to Data Management, Channels, SD.  Make sure there are no discs in the disc drive!

Step 5: A pop up will appear saying "Load boot.dol/elf", say yes.

Step 6: You will be brought into the HackMii installer, choose to install the HomBrew Channel.  you may also install BootMii and DVDx at this point.

Step 7: The HomeBrew Channel is now installed to your system menu.  To use Homebrew apps, simply put them in the apps folder on the root of your SD card.

After the HBC is installed, you should delete the BannerBomb private folder and rename your original back to private.

If your Wii froze  on Step 5, download a different version of BannerBomb from here.

Post any questions you may have.

When you have System Menu 4.2 you must choose the sd card menu on the bottom left of the Wii menu. Otherwise the Hackmii installer won't load. Also, this won't work for people who have updated to system menu 4.3

You don't want to be downgrading your System Menu if it is 4.0 or greater.  You'll risk bricking your Wii by doing that.

oic :(
