The following components are necessary to exploit the Wii.
#HOW TO GET WII POINTS ON THE WII INSTALL#
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. This is accomplished by exploiting some weakness in either a game or in the Wii System Menu.
#HOW TO GET WII POINTS ON THE WII SOFTWARE#
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.īefore custom/homebrew software can be run on the Wii, it must first be hacked.
#HOW TO GET WII POINTS ON THE WII DOWNLOAD#
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. It is not meant to encourage piracy of any sort. 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. In particular, I've also successfully hacked a Wii using the LetterBomb exploit, which can be done on any (real) Wii running System Menu 4.3. Brawl, please review the Homebrew Setup page for alternative options. If you do not have (or have access to) a copy of Super Smash Bros.
It is important to note, however, that other exploits are available. 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 4.0.3). Please note: I would consider the Homebrew Setup page on the WiiBrew wiki to be the most authoritative source of information about Wii hacking. 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. 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. 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. 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). 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.
