    Hacking ** Ultimate USB Loader & Accessories Bible For Dummies **

    Well I don't want to format the drive, I was just trying to troubleshoot why it wouldn't see the drive and wondered if you needed a game on it.

    Hacking Wad installation help

    I got my wii modded to version 4.0U and I have USB loader GX working and would like to make it a channel. I found a USB Loader GX channel WAD file on the official site and was wondering if I can use WAD Manager 1.5 to install it? Seems to me that there is a higher risk of bricking when using...

    Hacking ** Ultimate USB Loader & Accessories Bible For Dummies **

    I was coming here to ask this question, do you have to have games installed on the drive before USB loaders will recognize it? I assumed no since in the USB Loader GX docs it says that it will ask to format the drive if needed. I have a rocketfish external enclosure with a Seagate SATA drive...

    Tutorial Modify ANY Wii 4.3 & below

    I have already a few things loaded like HBC, cIOS, bootmi plus the Trucha Bug Restorer. Can I just start from scratch with your guide and reinstall over the top without causing any problems or will I need to skip the steps I did? I am on version 3.2U after downgrading due to hosing the system...

    Hacking I almost bricked and now need some advice

    My system was a 3.4u and of the two guides for modding my wii I chose this one http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=168890. I made it fine until I got to the preloader step which semi bricked my wii. My wii has boot1 so I had to install as IOS which is one of the reasons why I decided to use...
