The end result is that I have every one of my 27 Wii games and and 25 GameCube games ripped and stored on the USB drive, and I can play any one of them now by simply powering on the Wii, browsing to the desired game in WiiFlow, and pressing A on the controller. No more disc swapping, and no more worrying about where to even store all of the games so they're accessible they're now all boxed up in a closet, along with my GameCube.
It's a wonderful thing. Of course, none of this would be possible without all of the hard work by the various hackers, modders, developers, and other enthusiasts that have worked on this over the years, so I fully acknowledge all of their efforts.
However, because all of this developed over time, as I mentioned above most of the information out there related to Wii hacking is either dated, incomplete, or conflicting with each other. As my small way of giving back and giving thanks, I put together my own HOWTO covering the most important details regarding exploiting the Wii, setting up your hardware, then installing and configuring WiiFlow for maximal enjoyment. Please note: I would consider the Homebrew Setup page on the WiiBrew wiki to be the most authoritative source of information about Wii hacking.
This guide supplements the existing documentation to include additional details that I consider important, and focuses on the Smash Stack method since that works all versions of Wii as well as all versions the virtual Wii included on Wii U as of 4.
It is important to note, however, that other exploits are available. If you do not have or have access to a copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, please review the Homebrew Setup page for alternative options. In particular, I've also successfully hacked a Wii using the LetterBomb exploit, which can be done on any real Wii running System Menu 4. I'd like to make one thing clear right up front: this tutorial is intended to allow you to much more easily and conveniently enjoy playing your own games.
It is not meant to encourage piracy of any sort. Please do not use this as an excuse to simply download and play Wii games without paying for them; it is ethically, morally, and legally wrong to do so. Please rip and play only your own legally obtained games, and if you decide to later give away or sell one of the games that you ripped, you must delete your ripped copy as well. This is accomplished by exploiting some weakness in either a game or in the Wii System Menu.
The exploit is essentially used as a way to break out of the Wii's normally protected environment and install the Homebrew Channel which, once installed, can itself be used to run additional homebrew applications without the need for further exploits. The following components are necessary to exploit the Wii. The versions in parentheses were the latest version available at the time of this writing; any newer version should also generally work. Once the Homebrew Channel is installed, you can easily run other homebrew software on your Wii.
There are many types of homebrew applications available the list of homebrew applications on the WiiBrew site is a great place to get started , but the one most relevant for our purposes is WiiFlow. This is the end-goal of this tutorial: to be able to easily browse and launch any Wii or GameCiube game you own at a moments notice, without requiring the inconvenience or, in case children are present, dangers of disc swapping.
The following additional components are optional, but can enhance the experience. Just thought I would pass that along. Reply 12 years ago on Introduction. Funny thing, if the sd card is greater than 2 gigabytes in size the wii has trouble recognizing it.

I'll be sure to try this! Reply 13 years ago on Introduction. More by the author:. Did you make this project? Share it with us! I Made It! Answer Upvote. Crimson-X 12 years ago on Introduction.
