Troubleshooting:

Please note that Bannerbomb does not work for everyone at this time.


If your Wii freezes while trying to use Bannerbomb, follow these diagnostics:

1. Make sure you're not trying to use the SD Menu on System Menu 4.0/4.1 (the little blue SD card button in the lower left).
2. Check that you pressed the Channels button in Data Management.
3. Make sure that Bannerbomb is the only channel on the SD card.
4. Try a different version of Bannerbomb. Most people should be able to use aad1f, but some might need another version.
