'''LetterBomb''' is a safe way to enable [[homebrew]] on a Wii without hardware modification. LetterBomb is achieved by use of the Wii Messageboard which executes a homebrew application from an external SD card. Examples of such homebrew .elf or .dol files can be found on the [[List of homebrew applications|Homebrew applications]] page. LetterBomb was created by [[Team Twiizers]].  This exploit only works with any region of [[System Menu 4.3]].
