If I can make a suggestion, use Wiiflow, it's by far the nicest looking USB loader, and I've never yet found something that another loader could do better (ok, the RB2 DLC piracy award goes to uLoader, but other than that...). If you install Wiiflow to your USB drive, it will also store all of the settings and coverart to that same drive, so everything is contained to a single drive rather than split between the SD and USB. Also, USE FAT32 FOR YOUR HARD DRIVE. You can use Wii Game Manager to convert your .iso's to .wbfs files using the option "Create .wbfs files with subdirectories" (using subdirectories keeps things nice and organized), and then you can choose whatever split size you want (I prefer 4GB, because it means fewer files). .wbfs files go in the folder USB:\wbfs. If you are wanting to rip your games from the discs you own, I've never tried ripping directly to .wbfs files on a FAT32 drive, so I can't suggest a way of doing that. I always rip with CleanRip, then convert the .iso to .wbfs using Wii Game Manager. It might take a bit longer, but CleanRip is the fastest and most stable ripper out there.

when i installed used modmii it gave me the option for usb loaders and i chose both wiiflow and cfg. But i can only acess cfg, so i guess thats the only one that got installed. On the harddrive there are files for wiiflow though.

Another question for modmii. When u said modmii cleaner is that just to clean up the files on the computer or the wii, because i ca't see no option in the hombrew channel for it.

* IOS30v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS50v14889(IOS50v4889[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS60v16174(IOS60v6174[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS70v16687(IOS70v6687[FS-ES-NP])
* IOS80v6944[FS-ES-NP]

* IOS58-64-v6176
* USBLoader(s)-ahbprot58-SD-USB-v9-IDCL
This is a forwarder channel that will load the first file it finds from the following list:
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader\boot.dol
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader\boot.elf
SD+USB:\apps\usb-loader\boot.dol
SD+USB:\apps\usb-loader\boot.elf
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader_cfg\boot.dol
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader_cfg\boot.elf
SD+USB:\apps\WiiFlow\boot.dol
SD+USB:\apps\WiiFlow\boot.elf
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader_gx\boot.dol
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader_gx\boot.elf
Notes: IOS58 is required to launch apps from an SD Card and hard drives formatted as
FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3 and ext4. It also supports meta.xml arguments
and is able to launch apps with direct hardware access.
You should always have at least one forwarder channel installed on your Wii,
that way, in the event of accidental update, you will be able to rehack your Wii without relying on a disc based exploit

Another question for modmii. When u said modmii cleaner is that just to clean up the files on the computer or the wii, because i ca't see no option in the hombrew channel for it.

if u want to use wiiflow, u can launch it from the HBC. The forwarder channel on your sys menu will launch wiiflow, but if ur hard drive has configurable usb-loader also saved on it, it will launch that instead. If u want the forwarder channel to launch wiiflow instead, rename your apps\wiiflow folder to apps\usbloader

u can see what the forwarder channel looks for first in the following part of your guide

CODEThis is a forwarder channel that will load the first file it finds from the following list:
SD+USB:\apps\usbloader\boot.dol

what about modmii clean up. Is that just a clean up to remove pc files?

 

[shadow100z]

and if any other noobies out there a lil worried to mod there wii, modmii is the way to go really easy.

 

[Hells Guardian]

yes thats all the cleanup is. it gets rid of the files on the PC when done modding. It's an option within modmii it's self.

 

[shadow100z]

lol maybe time to go online now then.
When first going online is there anything i should be worried about?

 

[shadow100z]

also is there any things i should do do kid safe the wii? my little girl is 5 years old.

 

[XFlak]

the official wii settings have parental controls, and cfg usb loader (maybe even wiiflow, not sure) has controls to 'hide' games on your hard drive, so no children can access the games of your choosing

but in my opinion, the best parental control is just parental supervision

 

[shadow100z]

ok so should i be warned about anything before signing online?

 

[Hells Guardian]

If you have priiloader use the block online updates hack. Trust me you will be glad you do.....

 

[MaxNuker]

after softmodding the wii can i acess all the normal wii features? like online gaming... etc?
