How's it going
I've been away from the site for quite a while now, and have therefore gone from informed to becoming completely clueless about anything related to Wii hacking (obviously a lot of progress has been made).
After looking at the sticky topics I can't find anything that will answer my question in a basic manner, or otherwise I completely missed it somehow, and if that's the case I apologize in advance.
So at the risk of looking like a total noob, I'm asking for a bit of clarification with regards to WiiWare and VC games:
- My Wii was bought on launch day, and has a drive chip. I updated it to 4.0 through the normal/legit method, but still have an updated Homebrew Channel as it was already installed prior to updating. Can I install and play "backup" WiiWare/VC games that I've downloaded without any further modification?
- If not, are there any expected hacks I should be waiting for to do this with as little modification as possible?
- If not again, what modifications do I need to do to be able to play backup WiiWare/VC games (nothing else), again preferably keeping things as "virgin" as possible?
- Once any required softmods have been performed, I take it I just load up the latest version of WAD manager in the HBC and install the games I want?
Thanks
