Wii Homebrew: WriteELF v1.0, for use with Twilight Hack

The latest version of Team Twiizers’ Twilight Hack, which was released only a few days ago, allowed users to load ELF files from an SD card, basically opening up the possibility of homebrew for the Wii. Now cybermind has released WriteELF, an application that will allow you to write an ELF file to an SD card. (Note this is for use with the Twilight Hack.) More details in the full article.

Brakken has announced the release of WriteELF, an application from cybermind that allows users to write ELF files to their SD card from their Windows PC. This release is made to be used with Team Twiizer’s Twilight Hack.

The release of Twilight Hack v0.1 Alpha 2 allowed users to load ELF files on their Wii using an exploit found in the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This basically opened up the possibility of homebrew programs for the Wii.

Before using WriteELF, please be warned to read the documentation included in the archive. IT enumerates important information about the application, including how it would (“by design”) corrupt some sectors in your SD card. Here’s the developer’s notes:

Usage:

• writeelf <driveletter>: <elffile> [-b]
• driveletter = drive letter of the sd card reader
• elffile = path to elf file you wish to write to the sd card
• -b = backup existing data from the write location
• Note: If elffile is “-“, it will not write anything to the SD card, and will automatically turn on backup mode.
