Here's a list of the last few mods I performed on my Wii:
Starting At 3.2U system menu-
- Install patched IOS60 (I used the prepatched .wad)
- Install Preloader v.0.29
My Wii works flawlessly, no bugs, bricks, or any problems at all. Preloader was the very last thing I installed, after updating to 4.0 and getting the USB Loader working. I'm glad I installed preloader, but the April fools joke was annoying, and I wish it didn't overwrite the system menu, making it a pain to uninstall. I can't complain however, since I never have to worry about bricking my wii. I hope this answered the main question about which order things should be done in.
