    Default Homebrew'd wii, help please!

    I'd like to start this thread in hopes if getting an understanding on what needs to be done to make the copies/backups I have made from my wii games work on my wii. I have installed Homebrew and have burn the ISO game on my dvd-r but am not able to get it to work with the wii. If anyone knows ANYTHING ON THIS TOPIC THAT WOULD BE GREAT CUZ IM KINDA LOST.....

    I downloaded the game which was an .ISO and then burnt it using my "disk utility" on my mac . Now I'm trying to find a program that i can load through homebrew that will allow the Wii to read my burnt DVD. ohh and unknowingly i downloaded the newest wii upgrade. 4.3u I think

    The program you need to load to your homebrew is called Backup launcher 0.3 gamma(better than beta).

    Did you do this hack. This is the one for 3.4u. There is nothing on 4.3u.

    1.Ensure your SD card is formatted as FAT. By default SD cards are formatted as FAT, so if you're not sure you can skip this step.
    2.(Optional) If you have an existing Zelda save that you want to backup, do so before proceeding:
    1.Put your SD card in your Wii and turn it on.
    2.Go into Wii Options --> Data Management --> Save Data --> Wii
    3.Find your Zelda save, click on it, click "Copy", and click Yes
    4.Put your SD card in your computer, and copy the "private" folder from the card to a safe place.
    3.Copy the "private" directory from the Twilight Hack download to the root of your SD card.
    4.Take your homebrew Wii executable (elf or dol file) and save it in the root directory of your SD card as "boot.elf" or "boot.dol" as appropriate.
    5.Put your SD card in your Wii and turn it on.
    6.Go into Wii Options --> Data Management --> Save Data --> Wii.
    7.Find your Zelda save, click on it, click "Erase", and click Yes.
    8.Open the SD card and select the "Twilight Hack" save that corresponds to your game region. Note: Some people are having problems with the Wii not "seeing" the save file on the SD card. If you are experiencing this, try setting the archive bit for the data.bin file - in Windows this can be either be done from the file's properties dialog (right click on it in Windows Explorer and check the box) or from the command line using "attrib +a <path to data.bin>". More info at #wiihelp on Efnet.
    9.Click copy and then yes. Now exit out of the menu.
    10.If you are using System Menu 3.4, you must immediately put the Twilight Hack to use. Turning off or running some other channel or game will have the System Menu delete the savegame again, and you'll have to start over.
    11.Insert The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game disc and run the game.
    If you have the USA version of the game, load the "TwilightHack0" or "TwilightHack2" version of the game as appropriate (see above).
    Otherwise, load the only "Twilight Hack" save game.
    12.Once in the game, either walk backwards or talk to the man standing in front of you.
    13.Follow the instructions listed on the screen.
    14.Enjoy.

    I think 3.3u doesn't delete your homebrew so I think your safe.

    well to play wii fit you got to install starfall and that will block the upadates. You need to force the setting to NSTC. Believe your Wii music is trying to run in PAL

    I have 4 up and working, 2 soft modded, 2 hard modded,

    I will sell you a 2gb sd card with eveything you need for $20, I will show you it works.

    Also if you're not using dvd-r minus, the games will not play right.

    Us2 imgburn on 2x for copying.
