'''Bannerbomb''' is an exploit capable of launching [[homebrew]] from any version of the [[System Menu]]. It was created by Comex to replace the [[Twilight Hack]], which does not work on [[System Menu 4.0]].

'''Bannerbomb''' is an exploit capable of launching [[homebrew]] from the [[System Menu]] versions 4.0-4.2. It was created by Comex on April 5th, 2009, to replace the [[Twilight Hack]], which does not work since [[System Menu 4.0]].

The original Bannerbomb exploit does not work with [[System Menu 4.2]], it only works with [[System Menu 4.1]] or older. However [http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/index.new.php Bannerbomb v2] has been released by Comex, and works on 4.2

<b style="color:red;">NOTE: The [http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/index.old.php original] Bannerbomb exploit does not work with [[System Menu 4.2]], it only works with [[System Menu 4.1]] or older. However [http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/index.new.php Bannerbomb v2] has been released by Comex, and works on 4.2. No version of Bannerbomb works on [[System Menu 4.3]] without previous mods; use [[LetterBomb]], [[Smash Stack]], [[Indiana Pwns]], [[Bathaxx]], [[Yu-Gi-Vah]] (NTSC-U/J only), [[Yu-Gi-OWNED!]] (PAL version of Yu-Gi-Vah), [[Eri HaKawai]], [[FlashHax]], [[Bluebomb]], [[Return of the Jodi]] and [[Str2hax]] instead. </b>

The exploit works by using a malformed banner to crash the Wii and run code to load the boot.dol placed in the root of the SD card. It can be used to install the [[Homebrew Channel]], DVDx and the BootMii public beta via the [http://bootmii.org/ HackMii Installer].
