Comparing the above post to this (which is a little more detailed walk through): How to Store/Load Wii Games via USB...beegee7730 said:[*]First download and put bannerbomb on your SD card. If you are unable to download it, scroll down to TroyTheZombies post and download from there.
[*]Then download the Hackmii installer and place in on the root of your SD, keeping it named boot.elf.
[*]Now turn on your wii, and go into Settings --> Data Management --> Channels and a popup should appear asking "Load boot.dol/elf?", click yes.[*]After that attempt to install Bootmii as Boot2 first, if you are unable to, install Bootmii as IOS.
[*]Then install the Homebrew channel and exit the application.
[*]Put your SD card in your PC and create a folder called "apps" on it.
[*]After that make a folder in it called "Trucha bug restorer" and put this in it.
[*]Then put your SD card into your PC again and download wad manager, CIOS38 rev14 and USB Loader 1.5, rename to boot.dol and place in seperate folders in the "apps" folder (Eg. apps/Wad Manager/boot.dol).
[*]After that create a folder called "Wads" on the root of your SD card.
[*]Finally, you should be all set to go! if you want to download any applications, visit here.
spacedkadet said:yes. 4.0 and 4.1 are more or less the same, just a fix for wii sports resorts.
Personally on a virgin wii i would just do all nintendo updates before beginning.

Oh and if you can't install (even if you can really) bootmii as boot2 then you should install preloader as anti-brick protection.
That would come after installing bannerbomb/bootmi/homebrew_browser. But before installing tbr/cios/etc.
Actually preloader should come in afterwards after you are on the final FW you want (if you're on 4.1 already that doesn't matter) and you have run the TBR and installed your cIOS. I believe preloader needs what the TBR does to IOS36 in order to install.

Being that his walkthrough is for a 4.0 Wii and if I upgrade to the latest (4.1, right?) would the process still be the same?
Thanks much!

Oh cool, I'm from staffs, so not far at all really.
So yeah, guys, I've took the plunge and used bannerbomb & the hackmii installer. It all went smoothly (yay!) but, as I suspected, I was only able to install Bootmii as IOS.
So yeah, Bootmii saved some files to my SD card, would I be able to transfer these files to my other SD card? That is the one I am going to be using with the Wii really. Also, what can I actually do with the IOS Bootmii? :/ I couldn't really work it out as I have no gamecube controller, and so couldn't do anything in Bootmii.
And preloader ey? How would I go about installing preloader? Can somebody point me to a guide or something please?
Connorlucas18 said:Okay, thanks.
So what is the point in having IOS Bootmii really? O.o
And can I still use the Bootmii SD card for apps and homebrew and stuff?
Oh, and what would happen if I tried to run Bootmii with no SD card in the slot?
nabster92 said:You can use either, but skip steps 9 and 10 of the ULTIMATE guide especially if you have a boot2v4 Wii. You can't run IOS downgrader and cIOS downgrader on those Wii's and it isn't necessary either way.
Whichever one you feel is easier to understand is the one you should use. Aside from that step 9 and 10 in the ULTIMATE guide they are essentially doing the same thing, but the fully softmod any wii one will have you install cIOS rev13b and the ULTIMATE one will have you install rev10. Either way I suggest you replace that step in both of them with cIOS rev14 to be fully up to date.
Any channel you install will be on the Wii regardless of the SD card being in or not. If you install the NeoGamma channel, you can have that load backups from the channel in the system menu the same way the disc channel loads them (without the game specific channel animations) If the channel is a forwarder though, then it will need the SD card to be in to actually load anything, but it will still show up on the menu regardless. Also if the SD card isn't in, you can still launch the HBC, but all you will see is bubbles as there are no apps for it to run unless the SD card is in.
Also if your nephews are gonna be playing around with it, make sure you don't have any games that ask for updates when playing them through the disc channel. You don't want to run any disc updates with homebrew stuff. If you install preloader you can get the hacks.ini for your region and FW and enable the skip disc update check hack.
LurkyTheHamster said:Channel are going to be around no matter what. You can't prevent that really. However without the sd card in, if they load the homebrew channel they can't really do anything with it.
I have my wii set up 'kid friendly' with a usb loader. I use a channel forwarder to my loader. Without the sd card in, it just says error not found and exits. Again no damage done. If you don't want to go that far, and only want to use the homebrew channel, just move it over in the channel listing to the last page. They aren't that likely to scroll over there past empty pages of channels, and even if they should with no sd card in, no big concern. Hold the B button and then press A on the channel to drag it over to that page. Just an idea.

Oh wow. You can do that? Move it all the way over like that? Yea, that should work.. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But.. If I want to install things as channels (say USB Loader GX channel) it will display but if the SD card isn't in it won't work?
