Just to update on my progress so far I have successfully,
1) Run the bomberban test
2) Installed bomberban aad1f_v108
3) Installed the hackmii_installer_beta2
4) Installed cIOS36_rev-10
5) Installed WAD-manager v1.4
6) Installed Loader Forwarder Channel (usb-loader) using WAD manager 1.4
7) Copied USB Loader GX 1.0 to my SD card ready to run
So I have my homebrew channel setup and understand the concept of running the apps (.dols) through it.
I understand the usb-loader is basically a shortcut for my usb loader GX 1.0
I tested USB Loader GX 1.0 and it runs
So far everything seems to be working fine with no problems yet
8) Installed WBFS Manager 3.0.1 on my PC
So I'm now about to prep my HDD. I'm going to be trying it with an external 1TB Toshiba HDD. The actual HDD inside is WD WD10EAVS 8MB 5400-7200RPM. I can't find any info on whether it's compatible so I'm just going to try and see what happens.
If there's anything else anyone can suggest, anything at all, be it installing additional things etc.. One thing I'd like to look back on is the Bootmii program or any alternative method for helping with a brick, should it occur.
EDIT: Ok I successfully partioning my HDD, it's recognized in the usb loader GX 1.0. However I have a problem. After unlocking, I went to click + and then clicked "Yes" to rip a game and then received a black screen with white text giving me a "Exception (DSI) occurred!
Any ideas?
EDIT1: Started reading through the incredibly long GX thread and have updated to the latest revision, I'm currently ripping my first game 6 minute left
FINAL EDIT: Everything works!
Tested first ripped game, works perfectly, proceeding to back up all my other games now. What a wonderful program.
Had a problem with running the forwarder but after taking a look in the SD card folder structure I realised it was reading from it's own usb-loader folder and the default .dol was a different loader, so simply moved GX to that folder and hey presto.
Still interested in any tips for a noob. This is day 1 for me so I know there's plenty more to learn.
Well if you are interested to learn then give it a read at wiibrew.org, if you were able to achieve all this by yourself, then I guess you really don't need any other advice but to read read read read read....... !!

would cios36 rev 9 work with 3.3U wii
ANY cIOS will work on 3.3, the question is: can it be installed just by using the installer..?? or will you need the IOS16 and the Custom Wad Manager to achieve this..??
