BannerBomb alpha 1.02

by Comex

Introducing a first alternative method to get homebrew working on your Wii since the Twilight hack.

NOTES:
-This software is still in the testing stages of development, there maybe unforeseen bugs.
-Currently this exploit does not allow the Homebrew channel (4.0 virgin only) to be installed due to the exploit that was used being blocked in 4.0.
-Compatible with Wii system menu 3.x - 4.0 (Homebrew Channel not required)

INSTRUCTIONS
============
1. Get a SD card. If it already has a private directory, rename it temporarily, e.g. to "privateold". Having other saved channels on the same card will screw it up.
2. Download aad1f_v102.zip and unzip it onto the SD card.
3. Get a DOL or ELF and put it on the SD root as /boot.dol or /boot.elf.
4. Press (Wii), Data Management, Channels, SD. Then insert the card. It should either pop up Load /boot.dol? or freeze.
5. If it pops up a dialog, then fill out the survey.
6. If it freezes, follow these diagnostics:
Check that you didn't use the SD menu (4.0) or Savedata instead of Channels.

BUGS
====
-If it gives you the dialog but freezes instead of loading the dol, you might also try removing the disc.
-If you press "no" when it asks you whether you want to load a dol then it might freeze.
-It is possible to press the back button "under" the dialog. Make sure you don't do that.
