Brakken has announced the release of WriteELF, an application from cybermind that allows users to write ELF files to their SD card. This release is made to be used with Team Twiizer's Twlight Hack.

The release of Twilight Hack v0.1 Alpha 2 allowed users to run ELF files on their Wii using an exploit found in the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This basically opened up the possibility of homebrew programs for the Wii.

Before using WriteELF, please be warned to read the documentation included in the archive. IT enumerates important information about the application, including how it would ("by design") corrupt some sectors in your SD card. Here's the developer's notes:

Usage:

* writeelf : [-b]
* driveletter = drive letter of the sd card reader
* elffile = path to elf file you wish to write to the sd card
* -b = backup existing data from the write location
* Note: If elffile is "-", it will not write anything to the SD card, and will automatically turn on backup mode.
