I have recently deleted the homebrew channel and such off my wii, but have been wanting to get back, well I found the new wii brew SD Installer which sets all the files up for use on an SD card. However, I go to my sd card to see if I can copy over the twilight hack, but on my SD Card nothing shows up, as if I had never put anything there to begin with... I really don't know what the issue could be, I have updated to 3.3, and I've checked the file structure, and it is 100% correct... Please help me out...
EDIT: I have put the save files of all 3 regions on to my SD card, and oddly enough, the only one that shows up on my SD card is the EUR version, the JAP, and US version do not show up

Updating to 3.3 was a BAD idea... in any case the hack should still work. The SD installer might be outdated. check out our wiibrew packgen and download the twilight hack for your version. If that one doesn't work, let me know.

it will not work, I have tried once before by downloading form the site, and it would not work, and I am sure it is the latest version, beta1 right?
again, I have attempted to put the EUR, and JAP Saves into trhe SD card to asee if it would show up, the EUR save showed up perfectly, but the JAP save did not show up...
EDIT: I've just tried again, and can confrim that the US save does not work for me, the only one that shows up is the European save...

Apparently there is a bug in the latest version of the Twilight Hack that on some SD cards the save file will not show up. Try a new SD card... since you updated to 3.3 the newest version is your only choice. You cannot use the older version.

Can you confirm that it is a common problem on some SD cards and that its not just me? BTW I am using a Sandisk microSD
Can you contact Team Twiizers and inform them of the bug?

Team Twiizers is aware of the bug... but apparently that is not the problem. For some reason the Twilight Hack does not work through our packgen while all the other programs do. I'm looking into the problem right now, but for now you can get the twilight hack files

If the files from the link i gave you didn't work, then it's your SD card. Not that your SD card is defective, but that there's a bug with the twilight hack files.
The packgen glitch is weird, but the twilight hack files will work properly if you change the pack type to "windows executable". Like so...
By the way, what size SD card are you using? Shouldn't be more than 2gb.

Why did you bump an old thread?
The WiiPackGen has ben updated since this topic started.
When I did the TWLH on my Wii(Like 20Mins ago) it worked fine.
Doesn't show on my system either

I tried using a Lexar 1 GB and a Lexar 2 GB last night to do HomeBrew and Twilight hack at the same time. I tried formatting the card in FAT format (FAT16) using Windows Vista and XP. I also had the twilight hack alone on the SD card. I had in combination with the Homebrew too. I had Zelda saved too. None of it worked. I have the same problem as the first post here. Nothing shows on the SD Card. However, if I put a picture on the SD Card, I can see the picture and would be able to edit it so the card is fine. Any guesses please?
Thanks
P.S. I updated my firmware about 3 weeks ago.

You know how to overwrite the save right?
It won't just load from an SD card just because one's in.
I updated when I got brawl.

Sorry, I am not catching up. what do you mean by "overwrite the save right"? "brawl"?
I watched the tutorial video and did as it said but when I click on the SD Card view there are empty cubicles while the video shows a saved game there.
Should I save the game or copy to the SD card and then overwrite?
Thanks

You need to have the correct folder structure:
X:/private/wii/title/rzde/data.bin
Thats an example.

Well, if extract is done drive:\ the file structure is all in place automatically. I didn't tamper with it and and a check again just confirmed that it's all fine. Could it be because I bought Wii recetnly? 1 month ago!
