I am very new to the hacking thing. My wii is ver 3.4u and I downloaded the twillight hack and homebrew for my correct region and version. (at least I think) I rented the twillight princess game and have the sd card. I can transfer the twillight hack to the wii but when I get to the agree screen it tells me it didn't install. I don't know what to do or what to check. Can anyone help me please.

Make sure your using the proper 3.4 TP hack version.

Go HERE and download and use 3.4: twilight-hack-v0.1-beta2.zip.

Also the USA game save has 2 profiles included. If the first game save profile doesn't work try the second profile.

Make sure you have the homebrew you want to run named boot.dol not (example: homebrewchannel.dol). Make sure the boot.dol file is located in the root of the SD card.

If you still have issues then try using a different SD card.

No, that's a compressed file you need to unzip it. Try winrar.

As stated above you need to extract the file and add the boot.dol file into the root of the SD Card.
