<p>Wilbrand, like LetterBomb, is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered using the Wii Message Board.</p>
<p class="notice--info">Unlike LetterBomb, Wilbrand supports Wii menu versions down to 3.0.</p>
<p class="notice--info">There are two methods listed on this page used to create the proper Wilbrand exploit.
Wilbrand Web is recommended for its ease of use.</p>
<h3 id="wilbrand-web-recommended">Wilbrand Web (Recommended)</h3>
<h4 id="requirements">Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>An SD card formatted to FAT32/MS-DOS (FAT)</li>
<li>A Wii on at least version 3.0</li>
</ul>
<p class="notice--warning">SD cards larger than 2GB will not work on Wii menu versions before 4.0.</p>
<h4 id="instructions">Instructions</h4>
<ol>
<li>Power on your console.</li>
<li>Go to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Wii Settings</code>.</li>
<li>Take note of the letter next to the system version, in the top-right corner of the screen.
<ul>
<li>This letter corresponds to your system menu region, which you will need to know for the corresponding steps.</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="/images/wii/SystemMenuVersion.png" alt="Wii Region" /></p>
</li>
<li>Navigate to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Internet</code> &gt; <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Console Information</code>.</li>

<li>Input your Wii MAC, version and region.</li>
<li>Ensure <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Bundle the HackMii Installer for me!</code> is checked.</li>

</ul>
</li>
<li>On your Wii, return to the Wii Menu.</li>
<li>Launch the Wii Message Board on your Wii.</li>
<li>Open the green letter with a bomb.
<ul>
<li>Ensure the date on your Wii is correct, or you might be unable to find the letter.</li>
<li>In some cases, you may need to check the messages for tommorow or yesterday for the letter to show up.</li>
<li>If you dont see the green letter, check if any errors appear in the SD card section of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Data Management</code>. If there are errors, there may be an issue with the SD card format or the Wiis SD card reader.</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="/images/exploits/wilbrand/msgboard.png" alt="Wilbrand in its natural habitat" /></p>
</li>
<li>If the exploit was successful, your device will have loaded the HackMii Installer.
<ul>
