Well Im a member of ntorrents and on there there is a link to ios files in wad format that need installed. Once it is installed through the wad manager via homebrew channel it will work. Ntorrents is down at the moment. tonight I will post a link and download and install as said before and it will work. I have a pal copy of the game and a ntscu wii with wiikey 1.9s and it works flawless

Put them in the root of your sd card

Put sd card in wii

Run Homebrew channel

Run wad manager

Install one by one the three files

exit wad manager and return to wii menu and play the game!

Enjoy

No you need to have those installed already. Just search on here for them there are lots and lots of posts on it, or google it just search twilight hack or for the homebrew channel iso and install and also install the wad manager, you can find all of these through google.

ok so you can install the twilight hack and homebrew channels by burning isos to dvd-r or do you have to do the whole thing with the sd card method i keep reading about. and last thing, what does everyone mean by the root of the sd card? is it just when you save it to sd card? or is there something you have to do to get it on root of sd card? thanks for the help.

If you have 3.2 firmware or below + a Modchip you can use the ISO to install it.

If you have 3.3 firmware and above OR no Modchip you will need to use the Twilight Princess/HBC installer method.

The only thing that needs to be done on the SD CARD is format it FAT16 (default setting).

The root is the first (main directory).

Example: Say your SD CARD is the F: drive on your PC.

So when you go to F: drive you will be at the root.

Its seprate, search for the homebrew browser and when installed it will connect to the net and show you avaible programs and you can download and it will self install to the sd card. Then you dont have to remove the card and put in your computer. The wad manager is avaible on there. Or just search for the programs on yahoo or google. There are tons of programs on there for homebrew channel.
One more thing there is a program we use alot called Mplayer that will play almost any movie file... so you can watch movies on the tube with out converting and burning to disc to enjoy in the living room.

I am all sorted now - got a UK PAL version - works a treat, and surprisingly good graphics on the Wii - will be better on a HD TV.
