I don't understand why 4.2 would be better than 4.3 ....
This is the kind of statement that riles Joostin all up!

FYI: 4.1 is better than both of them.... it's all about brick fixability. if you never have a problem, it'll never be an issue.
Joostin = riled.

4.1 is the optimal System Menu because it was the last one to receive bug fixes or new features. Everything above that was designed to brick region changed Korean Wii's and block homebrew (including brick recovery homebrew). With it you have more opportunities to unbrick a Wii. Murphy's law insists that you use 4.1!

awesome info. im on 4.2 and i think that may be my problem loading some forwareders (ftpii). the forwarders worked fine on 3.2. maube i downgrade......hhmmmmm........
I doubt that is the cause. Some apps just don't like forwarders. Ftpii is one of those. If you are already on 4.2, you might be safer just staying there. Downgrading can be just as dangerous as updating.

You can still use priiloader to region free patch on 4.3 though right?

Which brick recovery homebrew was blocked? To be honest, like priiloader, all it needs are updates to make it compatible with newer System Menu's + their specific IOS.

i really think LetterBomb needs a Standalone App.

the site now is lags
Took almost 30 seconds to load for me...and that was after I refreshed it (timed out the first time).

Wiibrew is also screwed up ATM (CSS issues and 503 errors)...wouldn't be surprised if related.

yeah same for me. lags after a try. then hit refresh then wait for 20 sec. then bbooomm! there goes your bomb.

votes for "LetterBomb standalone app"!!!

Burned DVD works only on old (released before mid2009) Wii.

Burned DVD is a thing of the past, it's slower than HDD and doesn't work with all games (Anti Piracy check).
Well, you can also use it for homebrew purpose only.

I've got a launch Wii

I've gotta use Burned DVD's, don't have an external HDD or anything to shove games onto.

Then it will work, though it will be limited to 3x speed.
Default Wii retail game speed is 6x.
Sometime video may be lagging, but you shouldn't notice it too often.

Ah thats good, though i'm more so confused on everything, Will this install everything i need? I mean would i be able to just run the website thing, install whatever pops upo and then be good to go on running burned DVD's? I will most likely be getting an external HDD eventually, though it will probably be the smallest and cheapest i can get

No, the exploit is used to launch a single file : SD:/boot.elf
Usually, user launch the hackmii installer which is bundled with the LetterBomb.zip (it will install both Bootmii and Homebrew Channel) and that's all.

If you want to hack your Wii to launch backuped games, you will have to follow another tutorials after you have successfully installed the Homebrew channel.
Look in forum > wii > hack stickies, you will find ModMii. replace a game exploit by LetterBomb while reading your personal steps by steps generated tutorial.

works great. very simple.. had to update my old firmware first (cant remember which, I think it was the old twighlight hack) wanted a functional SDHC working homebrew.
got the homebrew channel on no problem and the homebrew browser. shame there doesn't seam a lot of apps available since I last used my wii (over a year ago)
lovely work tho.

4GB thumb drives hold a few games.
