If you download a lot of Wiibrew, or if your library’s getting a bit too large for you, you might find this new homebrew program from joedj useful. Called FTPii, this program is an FTP server for the Wii, allowing you to access from your PC without having to eject the SD card.

August 8, 2007 – Considering this is a hack & mod site it is most important to start with the bad. Nintendo has sent a message to all Wii owners warning “If your Wii console has an unauthorized technical modification, this upgrade could cause inoperability of your console.” News of this firmware update is still fresh, and we’ve yet to test this, or hear any comments on which mod chips are affected or if they all remain unaffected. Update with caution!

On to the good…

There is now a digital clock placed on the main menu reminding players that time flies when they’re inevitably having fun. Another change to the Wii menu will be found on the forecast channel. Now the forecast channel will display the current weather in the channel selection interface. The message board now has a new “Today’s Accomplishments” option to display games you’ve played.

The Wii Shop channel has had a considerate makeover. The welcome screen has been redone, showing four recommended titles. There is now a list of popular titles, and new options to search for games by name, genre, and publisher.

Finally, USB keyboards can now be used to type as opposed to pointing in some channels. The Wii Shop Channel, and memo and mail writing can now utilize USB keyboard support. Unfortunately, the USB keyboard is not compatible with the Opera browser as of yet—but it could be safe to assume this trend will eventually follow onto web browsing.

A special thanks to Daniel for sending us this.. take a look at the forum thread here: http://www.nintendo-hacks.com/forums/t464.html

Software You’ll Need
SDLoad - Software by Costis

The Tutorial

Plug your SD card into your computer, now using the link above get a hold of SDLoad, firstly you have to format the SD card to either FAT or FAT16, if you cant do this return your computer to the store from which you bought it . After formatting it run sdpatch.exe through the command line as follows:

sdpatch.exe (drive letter):\

now copy SDLOADER.BIN to the root of the card, at this point you can load it up with emulators and what not as long as they are in .dol format . They can be in any directory as long as SDLOADER.BIN is in the root.

After installing the above insert SD card into SD card reader and plug into memory card slot A. Insert your action replay card into B and the disc into that place where discs go.

When AR boots up pick the USA flag and then ADD NEW GAME. SDLOAD is the game name and push done. Then enter (m) as the code name. Enter the following code

7YPR-RKZZ-MH6W5
D26A-PE4J-1XX2W
ZJHY-B1ZH-6P00G

Then select ADD NEW CODE and name it SDLOAD. Enter the following code

AF4H-JPF5-H1B5J
MVAB-7TQE-ABZPB
V2CK-QQ1A-Y6P72
M5N6-CMMH-9EURT

Select the code named SDLOAd and check the box next to it, press start and Open and close the lid of disc drive when prompted. Then SDLOAD starts up and you can take it from there!

The Code Process is a one time thing and from then on you can enjoy the world of Gamecube Homebrew and Emulators on your Wii Console easily and without Modification.

Emulators for Gamecube that will work this way include emulators for Snes, Genesis, GameBoy Advance, Gameboy Colour, PC Engine and Nes and also a port of Doom.

Enjoy Legal Homebrew and Emulation on your Nintendo Wii!
