Software Mod for Wii

Before considering to follow these steps to do a software mod on your Wii, Let me remind you that this is illegal in a sense if you are a kid the police might come after you. Also your parents may not buy you another Wii if you brick it. But still if you and I do What we do lets go ahead. This has been a tested procedure. If you have got the Oct 23rd update which the nintendo Community asked you to and the hack community warned not to You need to first get rid of it. Ask me how? Ok hold on I will put these into two sections, 1. The Twilight Hack turorial. 2. Removing the Oct 23rd and later updates so that your Homebrew works fine.

Twilight Hack.
Usually this will be as detailed as possible considering the nooob who searches this info. So may be too detailed and boring, but obviously serves the purpose.

Requirements: You need a Wii afterall you are the one who wanted to hack it. Game: Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess. Yes you need the original game, there is'nt a way you could download this to hack. So you need a original, buy it / rent it/ borrow it you need it. You need a SD card. I know you get the SDHC 4 gb cards cheaply these days but still get a SD 2 Gb card or less. Because of some complications with SDHC cards. The newer versions support SDHC but we are still starting the process so lets stick to SD cards. Anything above 2 gig falls into SDHC category. You need a Computer with internet to seach into google to download some files which I will be mentioning. I will not provide any links. Remember Google, its Your best friend and the files are illegal.

Ok lets get over and start
  1. Power on your Wii and insert the legend of Zelda Twilight princess.
  2. Start the game then Wii prompts if you want to create and save a profile in the Wii system memory. So you say YES. Now you could play the game for a while if you want to because youve got that original game dvd somehow, or just come out and lets go ahead with the procedure.
  3. On your Wii homescreen click on the Wii setting get into data management and then to Wii memory check if there is a file for Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. If its there Step 2 accomplished else go back and redo.
  4. Ok now get onto your PC. Connect your SD card to your computer. Download Twilight Hack save file. Google it. Create a folder named Private on your SD card, and copy the Twilight hack into it. Similarly search for the Homebrew Channel installer. Which is a boot.elf file, Copy that into root of your SD card.
  5. Now remove the SD card from your computer and put into the Wii SD card slot. Go to Wii settings -> Data management. Firstly select the Wii memory and select the Twilight Princess Save File. It gives you copy or erase options. Select ERASE and confirm it.
  6. Now inside the data management select your SD card which shows the twilight hack selecting which provides you the same options copy and erase. Here you copy this into Wii memory. So select Copy and confirm to copy into Wii system memory. So technically you are replacing your originally Zelda save file with the hacked save file.
  7. Now hit back until you get back to the Wii home screen and launch Zelda game again. Once the game has started it asks for Load game showing the Twilight Hacks.
  8. The saved game you launch will Hack your system but before you select the saved game there is one more step. In US there are two versions of Legend of Zelda Which you can find out on the Game DVD you have. Check for these names on the surface.
    RVL-RZDE-0A-0
    RVL-RZDE-0A-2
  9. Depending upon the version of your game select either Twilight Hack 0 or Twilight Hack 2, Which launches the game. Once in the game walk up to the Man in front and try talking to him which launches the hack. Then just obey the same old prompts of Not My responsibility if it gets bricked and some other stuff you get to do may be manually pressing a reset button. It should be all fine with the blessings of All Mighty and your We should reboot and be fine.
  10. After the reboot your homebrew channel should appear on the home screen else your not my good student please read the steps again and try it once more. If you see the homebrew channel I was the perfect GURU. If you messed up I ain't there.

so here you are with the HomeBrew channel. Congratulations. BRAVO. You made your parents Proud. You dinn Mess up.

You no longer need the Twilight hack save file in your system memor or SD card. So you could erase it from both. Create a new save file for your Zelda if you own it and continue gaming. For additionals apps you need to create a folder named apps on the root of your SD card. Copy the downloaded apps into this folder.

Section 2 removing the Oct 23rd Update to be Continued.........

Google's Knol

Knol stands for "unit of knowledge," and Google expects these units to add up quickly.
Google Knol to put it in context:
1. Like Wikipedia, users create Wikipedia-style articles on Knol about various topics.
2. Unlike Wikipedia, and very much like Squidoo, users can create multiple pages on the same subject.
3. Authors can put Google's advertising on these pages and make money.
4. Google is indexing these pages amazingly high in their search results.

Many of the biggest and best companies today have Google as their top source of traffic. Reportedly digg is 50% Google traffic, About.com 85%, and Wikipedia 70% Google traffic. That means that people don't go to these sites directly, as much as they go to Google and do a search and click on their result.This means Google makes money from you while you are on their search results, but only makes money on the second click if the content provider has put Google Adsense on their pages. Some do, many don't.It seems that Google, the greatest web-business ever created, is not satisfied with owning over 70% of search--now they want to own the first couple of pages in their search results. So, if you're digg.com, About.com, NYTimes.com, and Wikipedia you're faced with not only being traffic-dependent on Google, you're now competing with them for the traffic within their search result.

If you can't beat them join them. If Google is destined to be the new Microsoft then it's best to get into the tent early.....
