Homebrew Guide and Discussion - Page 2

Okay, I did the part where I make a folder in private,wii, title, then made a folder called RZDE. Then I put in an rzde0.bin file in the folder right? I get confused after that.

Also, what is a root directory?

Its pretty much step by step from the first post, there really isn't really much else to explain.

A root directory would be the default directory of the SD card. For example J:\\.

Just a few questions. Firstly, how do you actually play homebrew games? Is it like, just get the file and burn it to a DVD or what?

Secondly, do you need to do the whole process of booting your TP Hack every time you want to use homebrew, or do those "Homebrew Launchers" you listed bypass that step?

Finally, what exactly is the scope for piracy with homebrew? Not as if I want to do it (<3), I'm just curious whether it really makes it as simple as burn -> play.

Also, on the twilight hack, I talk to the guy, then this black screen of death pops up. Then I have to plug the wii's power cable out to turn the wii off. What did I do wrong?

Once you talk to the man it should boot to your homebrew application. Check your paths and all the steps again.

Not to my knowledge.

Why, is the guide not simple enough?


If so, what can I do to improve it?

... Make your own video of it?

Perhaps.

I put that RZDE file in, renamed to data.bin.

Now, if I wanted to play tetris on it, how would I set it up?

Take the Tetris ELF file and rename it to "boot.elf" and place it into the root directory (just the letter drive path of the SD card (ex- F:\\ or J:\\)

Put it in the Wii and boot the Wii up, copy the data.bin file to the console and boot up TP. When you load the data.bin file that you just moved, it should launch the homebrew application after you turn and speak to the man behind you (if not immediately).

I hope that helps a bit.
