How to Use Banner Bomb on the Wii 4.0

Bannerbomb is an unauthorized software modification that allows your Nintendo Wii to play homebrew (home-made) games and software. Installation of the application using an SD card will allow you to download user-created software from the Internet and play it on your Nintendo Wii. Because Bannerbomb is unauthorized software, successive revisions of the Nintendo Wii firmware have made it unusable. However, if you have kept your Wii system's menu software from updating beyond version 4.0, it's still possible to install and use Bannerbomb.

Computer with Internet access
SD card formatted in FAT16 or FAT32
SD card reader
