Twilight hack
The '''Twilight hack''' is the name given to the exploit found by Team Twiizers of [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Main_Page Wiibrew.org] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'' that permits [[Homebrew (video games)|homebrew]] developers and everyday users to run unofficial [[Wii homebrew|homebrew software]] from a [[Secure Digital card]] inserted into the slot on the front of the [[Wii]]. Notably, this is the first way found to boot homebrew software wit(contracted; show full)nu-update-3-3-nullifies-twilight-princess-hack/ |title=New Wii menu update 3.3 nullifies ''Twilight Princess'' hack |first=Ross |last=Miller |publisher=[[Joystiq]] |date=2008-06-15 |accessdate=2008-07-01}}</ref> However, within six hours of the update's release, community members found two bugs in the update that in conjunction can allow a slightly modified Twilight Hack to operate and have released a new version of the hack that will work on machines that have updated to 3.3

A release for 3.4 firmware was later released for the general public to be able to run the Twilight Hack, even though each time the Wii boots it will delete the 'hacked' savefile from the system memory. However, this doesn't prevent users from copying the file from the SD card to the system memory back each time the Wii is turned on and running the exploit without restarting the system first.

System Menu 4.0 blocks any current version of the hack from being copied.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.elotrolado.net/noticia_la-nueva-actualizacion-de-wii-acaba-con-el-twilight-hack_15910|title=La nueva actualización de Wii acaba con el Twilight Hack|work=ElOtroLado.net|language=Spanish|accessdate=2009-04-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.coderetard.com/2009/03/26/wii-system-menu-40-update-breaks-twilight-hack-homebrew-channel-survives/|title=Wii System Menu 4.0 Update Breaks Twilight Hack, Homebrew Channel Survives|work=Code Retard|accessdate=2009-04-20}}</ref> Similar Smash Stack exploits exist in [[Super Smash Bros.
