Twilight hack will not show up on my SD card

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!

Possibly.

in the wii pack generator, i cannot select "windows executable" in the scroll bar there is only one option (zip file)
i've tried it with this but when i do it wont show up on my SD card when i put it in the wii :?
look!

ok, i copied a save file of mario galaxy to the sd card, before uploading wii brew onto it, now its showing up, but when i talk to the man in the village, the black screen comes up, and it says "failed to recognise boot.elf. hanging"
i've even made sure boot.elf is there.. and it is!

I had many of these same problems for a while. My problem turned out to involve a buggy SD card reader on my laptop. My suggestion is, first, to try a different card reader (a USB reader worked for me), then download and install the program from this link:

After installing, run it and select the OPTION button, set FORMAT TYPE to FULL (ERASE OFF) and FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT to ON (for v. large cards). This is the best way to format an SD card; the Windows format utility doesn't always format it properly to the SD card specification. This procedure fixed some very strange problems I had with an SD card, where a Windows format card caused the SD card to lose some of its capacity, and resulted in the "erased" files still showing up in the Wii save manager!

Even after this, sometimes I've noticed that the Wii will still refuse to see the Twilight Hack, but I think there is a different cause for this. If this happens with you, try copying it over again, or copying over a Zelda save and overwriting it with the Hack.

In any case, if you insert an SD card that reads fine in your Wii into your computer and Windows reports that it's not formatted and offers to format it, do NOT take it up on its offer! Instead, use a different card reader.
