For instructions on how to format your SD card correctly, please see [this guide](https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/Formatting_an_SD_card). It is highly recommended to check it due to problems with formatting as FAT32.

LetterBomb is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered using the Wii Message Board.
|
||
|
||
### Requirements
|
||
* An SD card formatted as FAT32
|
||
* A Wii on System Menu version 4.3
|
||
* A Windows/MacOS/Linux computer with an Internet connection
|
||
|
||
### Instructions
|
||
|
||
1. Power on your console.
|
||
1. Go to `Wii Settings`.
|
||
1. Take note in the top right corner of the letter next to the system version.
|
||
+ This letter corresponds to your system menu region, which you will need to know for the corresponding steps.
|
||
+ Also, ensure that you are on System Menu version 4.3.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Navigate to `Internet` > `Console Information`.
|
||
1. Take note of your FULL MAC address.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. On your computer, open the browser and go to [the HackMii website](https://please.hackmii.com/).
|
||
1. Input your Wii MAC address and region.
|
||
1. Ensure `Bundle the HackMii Installer for me!` is checked.
|
||
1. Cut either wire.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Insert your SD card into your computer.
|
||
1. Copy the `private` folder and the `boot.elf` file from the LetterBomb `.zip` to the root of your SD card.
|
||
1. Reinsert your SD card into your console.
|
||
+ The SD card must be inserted in the SD card slot located in the front of the Wii. Using a USB to SD adapter plugged into the Wii's USB port will not work.
|
||
1. On your Wii, return to the Wii Menu.
|
||
1. Launch the Wii Message Board.
|
||
1. Open the red letter with a bomb.
|
||
+ Ensure the date on your Wii is correct, otherwise you might be unable to find the letter.
|
||
+ In some cases, you may need to check the messages for tommorow or yesterday for the letter to show up.
|
||
+ If you don't see the red letter, check if any errors appear in the SD card section of `Data Management`. If any do, there may be an issue with the SD card format or the Wii’s SD card reader.
|
||
+ If your Wii freezes after clicking on the letter, you most likely chose the wrong system menu region for LetterBomb. Go back to Step 2 and verify that you chose the right region.
|
||
+ If all is correct and there is freezing, keep on trying until it works.
|
||
1. If the exploit was successful, your device will have loaded the HackMii Installer.
