Return of the Jodi is a safe way to enable homebrew on a Wii without hardware modification. Return of the Jodi is achieved by playing a hacked game save for Lego Star Wars which executes a homebrew application from an external SD card. Examples of such homebrew .elf or .dol files can be found on the Homebrew applications page. The Return of the Jodi was created by Team Twiizers & roto. This exploit works on the original Lego Star Wars game as well as the newer (1.01) release (NTSC and PAL) all through one masterfully crafted save.
Prerequisites
--------------
1.SD card (not SHDC) formatted as FAT16 or FAT32
2.Some possibility to copy the savegame from the PC to the SD card (i.e. card reader)
3.Lego Star Wars ;-) (you have to boot it at least once before)
4.Some homebrew software to load, e.g. the HackMii Installer. Although this isn't necessary, it's highly recommended ;-)
