Wilbrand, like LetterBomb, is an exploit for the Wii that is triggered using the Wii Message Board.

Unlike LetterBomb, Wilbrand supports Wii menu versions down to 3.0. {: .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. {: .notice--info}

Wilbrand Web (Recommended)

SD cards larger than 2GB will not work on Wii menu versions before 4.0. {: .notice--warning}

Anleitung

1. Power on your console.

2. Go to Wii Settings.

3. Take note of the letter next to the system version, in the top-right corner of the screen.

   • This letter corresponds to your system menu region, which you will need to know for the corresponding steps.

15. Launch the Wii Message Board on your Wii.

16. Open the green letter with a bomb.

    • Ensure the date on your Wii is correct, or 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 green letter, check if any errors appear in the SD card section of Data Management. If there are errors, there may be an issue with the SD card format or the Wii’s SD card reader.

    

17. If the exploit was successful, your device will have loaded the HackMii Installer.

    • If this didn't work for you, try Wilbrand CLI or try another exploit (ie. Letterbomb).
