DISCLAIMER:I Take No Responsibility on what happens to your Wii If this does not Work. Today we install the Homebrew Channel on our Wii! May 30, 2016 - Select which version of the Wii System Menu you have. Select 4.3U if you live in the US, 4.3E if you live in Europe, 4.3J if you live in Japan, and.
In this instructable, I will teach you how to get the Homebrew channel on your Wii. The Homebrew channel is a way for Wii users to play unofficial games.
Examples would be Newer Super Mario Bros. And Super Smash Bros. These games were made by various people. Newer Super Mario Bros. Is the same as its original, except with totally brand new levels. Project M is also the same as original except for new characters and many, many more stages. Here, I will teach you how to download this software.
For this instructable, you will only need your Wii and an SD card or USB drive. Next, go to You should see the words, System Menu Version and under that: 4.3U, 4.3E, 4.3J, and 4.3K, where the letters stand for locations. If your computer knows your location it should automatically be selected on that, but if not then the U = United States, E = Europe, J = Japan, and K = Korea. Select your nation and then input your MAC address in the boxes.
Make sure the box with the bundle the HackMii installer is checked to get the Homebrew Channel. After entering the captcha, press the button at the bottom and a ZIP file will start downloading. Put the private folder and the boot.elf into your SD card or USB. Take your SD card or USB and out it into your Wii.
Next, go to the Wii Message Board. You can find it by clicking on the button at the bottom right corner of the Wii home menu. Look for a red letter with a bomb inside it. (Don't worry, nothing going to explode or break). If you can't see it, just change the date to the one before or the one after. Go through the whole installer until it gives you the option to download the Homebrew Channel. Allow it to install and you should see it in your home menu.
Now you have the home-brew channel.
On your Wii, open System Settings. To get to System Settings, click the icon with 'Wii' on it at the bottom left corner of the Wii Menu. Navigate to Internet-Console Information. You will see your Wii's MAC address. Take note of this. You will need it in later steps.
Select which version of the Wii System Menu you have. Select 4.3U if you live in the US, 4.3E if you live in Europe, 4.3J if you live in Japan, and 4.3K if you live in Korea. ( Copy paste the link in google address bar ) 3.
Enter the MAC address you found in Step 1. LetterBomb needs this to create and sign the correct file. Make sure bundle the Hackmii installer is checked. The Hackmii installer will install the Homebrew Channel. If you don't want to install the Homebrew Channel, uncheck this option.
You will need another homebrew application instead of the Hackmii installer. Enter the Captcha on the page. If you can't see every letter in the Captcha, click the Refresh button or use the Audio Captcha. Then click either button at the bottom of the page. You will see a ZIP file being downloaded. Extract the contents of the ZIP file.
Copy the private folder and boot.elf to the root of your SD (not SDHC) card or USB drive. If you didn't choose the bundle the Hackmii installer, copy the private folder to the root of the SD card or USB drive and copy another homebrew application. Put the SD card or USB drive in your Wii. The SD card slot is located right next to the disc slot, while there are 2 USB ports on the back of the Wii. Load the Wii Message Board. To get to the Wii Message Board, click the icon with a letter on it at the bottom right corner of the Wii Menu.
Search for a red letter with a bomb inside of it. If you don't see it, go to the previous or next day. Once you find the letter, open it. Go through the Hackmii installer. It will tell you that if you have paid for the Hackmii installer, you were scammed. Obviously you weren't scammed, so press the 1 button. Go through the Hackmii installer until it gives you the option to install the Homebrew Channel.
Choose that option. If you want to, you can choose to install Bootmii.
Install the Homebrew Channel. Once it installs, you will be returned to the Wii Menu. You should see the Homebrew Channel in your Wii Menu. Now that you have the Homebrew Channel installed, you can launch homebrew applications. Search for homebrew you can use. After you download it, extract the ZIP file and copy the application folder to the apps folder on your SD card or USB drive. If you don't have an apps folder, create one.

To be fair, i dunno about the game updates being used to patch exploits that can help mod systems but for cheating like glitches, The fair use of updates or patches is intentally to fix a known problem, that doesn't always necessary mean exploit for hacks, but to make the game playable. And it does cost the people money for the patches to be applied. So as long as people don't have budget for patching games, or willing to do so or invest time into it, is not as frequent hence why only so very few games get much more support over the years like Street fighter 4, Killer instinct, mortal kombat X or super smash bros, than just games like any platformer who highest update number is something like 1.0.2 or something.
