[TUTORIAL] The Ultimate Wii Hacking Guide for N00bs

Yes I think so we when it was in the wii the first time and you get the message to load the letterbomb, I installed the homebrew and the bootmi was i supposed to do that or was i supposed to ignore them all and just press continue and then exit.

I really dunno much about the topic. Maybe you need to go a place like WiiBrew for your problem

ok thanks for you help

wenandjjjok thanks for your help

It is your help ;)You are welcome.

Oh... This version is super outdated. This is 1.0, I'm already at 1.2 with method E an F. I will update soon!

:x Kiekoes... maybe that wasn't a good idea to get this outdated... Anyway lucky that you notice it then

UPDATED! ;D

guys how can i format my harddrive for this kind of thing?
i know u use wbsf manager but if i dont partition and just make for wii thenh my pc cant access it...
i need a partition for both ... but my hard drive has some glitch in it
its like its a 120 gb hard drive that fits the guidlines. but when i formated it it went down to 50 gb how do i get my other 70 gb back?data recovery is not an issue

Thanks Kiekoes, im gonna do the letterbox thing tomorrow, it looks easy.

UPDATED TO v2!

WBFS
WBFS was the first format supported by the USB loaders. This filesystem is quite outdated and has some instabilities when deleting games. When you format your HDD this way you can only use it for storing Wii games, nothing else. I don't recommend this filesystem

Sorry Kiekoes, I disagree. I use this for ALL my games. And it still works fine. It saves money on discs and when you buy a big usb you can put many ISO's on it. So you don't need to swap discs

Kiekos is banned ? :-\

guys i need help i got the usb loader on my wii the gx one and this custom usb loader. thing is if i use gx it jsut resets my wii (when i click on the spinning disk that is) and the other one jsut gives me a error code when i select a game plus i see the message "this is not a valid wii image" my cd drive broke and i want o be able to use my external as a wii game hd (already doing so) but how do i get this thing to run my backups? plz plz plzzzzz!!!! help a guy out here. thanks

I see that installing the home brew Chanel looks easy and yes I have Firmware v4.3 so can use letterbomb .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m70dCXkn1CEMy question is, Is installing USB Loader GX 4.3 Updated Version offline installing safe ?Files from Here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/7w5qxuLike to do thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKPEgwbCFa8I wanted to make sure as "I Do not have Wifi at home"Here are the instructions for offline

(1): Pass the contents of the folder "files" to the root of your SD card.
(2): Disconnect any Memory Card or GCN Controller. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
(3): Insert the SD card on your Wii and run Homebrew Channel (The homebrew must be 1.0.7 or higher)
. Run "IOS236 Installer/ Uninstaller"; Press 1 to install IOS236 and wait for a message on the screen
"Getting IOS36 revision 3351". Now, select the option "Load IOS from SD card". When the installation
finish, press any button to return to the HBC.
(4): Load the "cIOS rev20b Installer" app and choose the IOS 236 on the first screen using the D-pad
and button A. On the selection of IOS Base, choose the "IOS56 v5661", then "IOS 249", then
"WAD Installation" and then, "Wii SD Slot". When the installation finish, press A to continue
with the process. Now you'll have to install the IOS 250. Now you´ll have to select again an IOS Base,
so select the "IOS38 v4123" and then "IOS 250" (instead of IOS 249). Also, choose again
"WAD Installation" and then "Wii SD Slot". When you finish, press the button B to return to the HBC.
(5): NOTE: NOW, IS THE INSTALLATION OF THE CHANNEL. IF YOU JUST WANT TO LOAD IT FROM HBC,
YOU CAN SKIP THIS STEP. IF YOU WANT THE CHANNEL, FOLLOW THE NEXT INSTRUCCTIONS. On HBC,
run WAD Installer 1.7. Then press A to continue, and select "IOS 249". Select "Disable"
for the NAND option, then "Wii SD Slot". Search the folder "wad", then, select the
"USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder.wad" and install it. When the installation finish,
press B and then HOME to return to the Homebrew Channel.
(6): Now, you can load the USB Loader GX from the Wii Menu or the app on HBC,
but your SD card must be inserted to load the channel. Why? Becuase is a Forwarder,
that run the application from SD card. I f you want to get ISO's, go to: wiiso.com,
to install a videogame, insert the Discand select "install" and that's it.You will need
WBFS Manager 3.0 to put the ISO's on your HDD or USB.HOPE THIS HELP. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS BRICK YOUR WII. ALL TRASLATED FROM SPANISH TO ENGLISH.
TAKE YOUR OWN RISK!

Also making sure I do not brick the system, most I can find is most on line is using it vr wifiSo I can use emulators and backup my own games.Simple answers are most welcome, and help on this Q@A ?Are anyone who has done it ?, can let me know if they had success .

OK managed to get it softmod ed with above methard, pick up a Gamecube pad and memcard to.Although got a Code Dump after CD update on launch of usb loader , So reinstall the above firmware worked into fixing this problem, Its seam to be caused by wii CD Update, So need to disable CD Updates using Priiloader & hacks_hash.ini on hack option worked.Hope this tip work for anyone with same issue .

Hey, thanks for making this great tutorial, but it seems a lot of the downloads no longer work. I don't know how many are broken, but I know that the files for Step X are no longer available. Is there some way you could fix this, or could you tell me how to get these files some other way? I know the last time you looked at this place was ~three years ago, but I'd love to move the ISOs I download from Romulation and play them on my Wii.Thanks, if you even looked at this.Wait, ignore that. It seems that the creator has been banned......
If ANYONE knows what those files were, please tell me. I really want to play games with a GameCube controller instead of using a keyboard.

When I do click download in step x in method d, it says the files are not available for download. Will it work by just downloading the other linked files and following the directions? Thanks!
