If KELFBinder is not launching for you, try using a [different version of wLaunchELF](https://israpps.github.io/projects/wlaunchelf-isr).

If START isn't Booting wLaunchELF, place any program ELF on USB and rename it RESCUE.ELF - this will allow you to launch it when all other options fail by pressing R1 + Start.
