If you want to know more about each individual achievement, you can read about them on. There are a number of other methods as well, however, LetterBomb works without clearance and only on System Menu 4.3. LetterBomb’s requirements are straightforward, as this chart from shows.

This feat requires the Super Smash Brothers Brawl game, which isn’t necessarily hard to get or expensive to buy, but the method we’re going to show you has a lot less hoops to go through.

We’ve already covered how to hack your Wii using a Super Smash Brothers Brawl exploit called SmashStack.

The objective of this article will be to show you how to install the HBC and HackMii software mods on the latest and presumably the last Wii System Update (4.3), with a simple exploit called LetterBomb. In the past, Nintendo has released system updates intended to improve performance but also to remove “unauthorized channels or firmware may affect the game or the Wii console. To this end, we could think of Homebrew Channel as an app launch channel, which means you can copy special apps and games to your SD card and launch them through HBC. For example, the Netflix Channel on the Wii is nothing more than a glorified Netflix app, and so on. So when you open a channel, all it’s going to do is give you extended functionality beyond just playing games. Channels are nothing more than Nintendo’s app version. So what is the Homebrew channel? It’s just what it looks like, a channel, much like Netflix or Nintendo eShop. It’s really hard to brick a Wii this way, but it could happen. Of course, the standard disclaimers and disclaimers apply: Any changes or modifications you make to your Wii are entirely your own responsibility and are your sole responsibility. After all, your Wii’s warranty has long expired, and you’re probably not doing anything with it anyway. If you have an old “unbroken” Wii, then there’s no time like the present to change that. Without a doubt, this is a must have feature. I was hoping I could use the Wii's wireless controllers for emu too but looks like I might not be able to and will have to use the wired classic controller, no biggie I guess.The Homebrew Channel (HBC) remains one of the best and most well-known console hacks in recent memory. This will sit in my front room and the xbox stays in my room where i generally game. Remember a while back here in UK that Gamestation and Game stores went into admin, I had credit and loyalty points/cash with Gamestation, I've now had that moved over to Game stores which are still open in some parts of town, so I basically was looking for something to spend my 40 odd quid on, I figured a pre-owned Wii is good as anything, can pick one up for under 50 quid so thats the plan. I have seen a few Wii homebrew games though that I want to try out, including a great looking vertical shooter.

In summary, big black box or little white one.Ĭheers for input guys, I actually have a softmod xbox and agree it is pretty much the ultimate for emulators. I'm building a HTPC which will take over those duties.

SNES and FBA are stunning via crisp HDMI, which was the only reason I held on to mine so long.
#Homebrew channel ps3#
I had high hopes for the PS3 in this regard, but that scene went and died before they even eeked out an N64 emu. For a second TV, especially if it's a CRT, the Xbox would still be my first choice. I still have a massive soft spot for the original XBMC, it's just a shame the Xbox got left behind in the HD era. The choice between them really comes down to which one you have at hand, or if you're buying one for the task, whether you want a big black box or a little white one under your telly. As others have mentioned though, the original Xbox is still the king of hacked consoles. Certainly eats the 360 and PS3 homebrew scenes for breakfast. Considering the community effort that went into making the homebrew channel feel like a proper digital storefront, it's pretty amazing really. The Wii isn't bad for homebrew at all (for the usual range of emulators, anyway).
