Twilight Hack v0.1 (Alpha 1) - Nintendo Wii fully exploited

Posted Feb 10, 2008 at 6:55PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Wii Tags: Exploit, Team Twiizers, Zelda

Over the past couple of days, we've been hearing a lot of homebrew developments that claim that the Nintendo Wii has been fully hacked.

And most of those concern the innocent looking game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. According to Team Twiizers, the exploit doesn't work on every version of the game.

To avoid problems, you can check your version by comparing the text string which is on the inner cycle of the data surface with the following:

RVL-RZDP-0A-0 JPN - working
RVL-RZDE-0A-0 JPN - working
RVL-RZDE-0A-2 USA - reportedly not working

Given that the exploit is still in its early stages, it is a given that it's not going to be for everyone. Be sure that you know what you are doing to avoid any problems during installation of the exploit.

Once you've obtained the files via the download link below, Team Twiizers provided the following so that you know where to put either of the files. Also you can watch the proof-of-concept video released by the coders themselves after the list.

cp rzdp.bin $MOUNT/private/wii/title/RZDP/data.bin
cp rzde.bin $MOUNT/private/wii/title/RZDE/data.bin

HAHA the linux penguin

whats the buzzing noise coming from my wii drive tho?? this is really nice work what will we need a sd card adaptor for tho? cant we use the wii sd card? i have a 64mb and 2 1gb stinks

# wut — J2Jack 2008-02-11 04:37

please tell me you're trolling

# oops — xLinkinwormx 2008-02-11 04:47

HA looks like one of nintendos best games has let them down,

i knew link liked "linkus"

ahhh bad joke i know but still.

would it be possible to copy the hex data to another games save file and get this to work? not everyone is gona have a chance to get the unpatched zelda tp

# So... — burrito4brain 2008-02-11 09:53

Does this allow you to run ISO's?

# Alright!!!!!!!! — ho-oh arabia 2008-02-11 10:24

now lets see some REAL action. the game begins NOW, and should start with a dvd backup loader or an alternate sdload (more probable)

# Scared — Yoloni 2008-02-11 10:28

I'm about to try it. Will this break the Wii? Can it be reverted?

# no.... — ho-oh arabia 2008-02-11 10:47

its okay, it wont hurt your wii

# Anyone Know — Yoloni 2008-02-11 10:47

I was about to just copy the file to the Wii, but I couldn't do it. How do I do this?

# wait.... — ho-oh arabia 2008-02-11 10:50

This could lead to Virtual Console hacking. Discovering the game ID and an ID changer will allow VC game sharing too!!!!!

# ok — xLinkinwormx 2008-02-11 10:56

you have to delete zelda save 1st, or back it up onto you comp

# I Got It! — Yoloni 2008-02-11 11:05

I deleted my original save. I guess I had to rename the file data.bin, and I didn't need to make the $MOUNT file. I tried it, and it worked! I talked to the funky guy, and it gave me a black screen and boom! I wonder why the disc slot was glowing, and I had to push the POWER button for a long time to turn it off.

# yea — xLinkinwormx 2008-02-11 12:19

i think its glowing so that we can, in the future eject the disk and keep it in a state that it is vunerable ot load homebrew

# its because — xLinkinwormx 2008-02-11 12:24

as these games are popular there easy to get hold of untill they get patched. its more than likely that people will have these games, most if not all people have zelda for the wii. people dont want to hace to buy games that they dont even play, on psp for instance pinball, its a crap game, and wii 4x4 monster truck racing or what eva that is, no one will going to want to buy that game for homebrew. hopefully this will lead to custom firmware on the wii like psp, so that we will not need to use zelda to load up homebrew all the time

# Rlease Region-Free — Yoloni 2008-02-11 12:51

Hope they would release a program, so that you can boot different region original games. I'm going to Japan, and I want to be able to keep my U.S. Wii.

# same — xLinkinwormx 2008-02-11 12:54

im hopeing for region free gameing, that should be at the top of there list, if they could get into the wii hardware, couldnt they just change the region code

# hello all — neomew 2008-02-11 14:14

why would you want to do that for?

# wow — xLinkinwormx 2008-02-12 02:34

you dont know what homebrew is do you?

# European Zelda — dazwii 2008-02-12 07:45

Anyone know if the european zelda discs work ?

I will get one if it does.

Keep up the great work.

# yea — xLinkinwormx 2008-02-12 13:05

it does, you have to make sure u get a corrcet copy tho

RVL-RZDP-0A-0 JPN

its on the inside of the disk on the data side, can be a lil hard to see if you dont know what your looking for tho

# homebrew!!! — neomew 2008-02-12 16:25

yes i know what homebrew its mostly about hacks and exploits like on the PSP

and action replay and so on

# FIXED FIXED FIXED FIXED FIXED FIXED FIXED FIXED — xLinkinwormx 2008-02-13 06:32

* RVL-RZDE-0A-2 USA

- requires a different version of the exploit

http://rapidshare.com/files/91428892/rzde2.bin.html (replace with real link kthx)

or

http://wiidev.memiks.com/down/rzde2.bin (A second permanent link)

# hmmm — omegaridley 2008-02-13 12:58

I find it odd how I bought this game at gamestop today, i live in the USA, and it was a JPN version

odd, but it worked!

Cant wait till we can load ISOz!

# homebrew killer — neomew 2008-02-13 21:29
