I also have some dumb questions.
I already had the hbc for some time with the twilight hack. Last week I followed one of those softmod guides which had me download a whole package of apps and I pretty much didn't have to do much more than press A a bunch of times. Anyway, all works fine.
However, some questions I had:
I don't think I installed bootmii or some other kind of backup app. Does this really matter? I don't intend to run experimental stuff on my wii. Pretty much only a USB loader and Mplayer and SNES9X GX.
Bootmii isn't experimental at all. You don't need to install it if you rzally don't want to, but its highly recommended to install it (if the wii can install it, cause its not possible on all Wii's)
How important is it to have the lastest cIOS? I used signcheck to check mine and it says IOS249 v10. But I think the latest one is v15? Does it really matter which one you have? (and where does one get the newest?). I got a 3.3E wii. And are there other things that need to be kept up to date?
Newer versions have better fixes and compatibility with games. I would get r14 though (r15 has some problems). Get it
here
I don't know if this is hack related, probably not, but some games like DeadSpace NTSC had a lot of crashes and games like NMH (No more Heroes) ntsc wont even boot. Is this related to the hacking or to software used?
How are you booting those games?
If its trough disc backup launcher: Get the newest launcher (Neogamma R8) and cIOSrev14
If it are originals (through disc channel): You miss an IOS file
Through USB: Use the newest loader and cIOSrev14 or rev15
Also, I don't suppose it is possible to run GC backups from a usb drive?
Nope

What's the best way to uninstall/delete everything I've done and start anew?
Revirginize it or update to 4.2, then use
xzxero's or
my guide to re-hack it.

I'm interested in trying to use Priiloader, but the info for the installer says to NOT have any modified IOSs. I have installed the Truncha patches, as well as other IOS updates to use Backuploader, I also MAY have done other stuff in the past that I can't remember (I've had my Wii hacked since 3.2 was the latest update).
Right now my Wii is on 4.2 (I've updated through safe update methods), is Priiloader going to kill my Wii? Is there any way to find out if it would be a problem before installing?
Follow the Trucha bug restorer steps of xzxero's or the dop-ios steps of my 4.2 guide (see previous quote)
QUOTE(krakenchild @ Dec 22 2009, 07:59 AM) Quick question.
Right now I have the Configurable USB Loader installed and I have no intention of further hacking my wii.
If i delete the HomeBrew Channel, will this stop Configurable USB Loader from working? I still want Config USB Loader.
I hacked a friend's wii and I don't want them accidentally mess up anything in the HBC.
Also if i do that, will I be able to re-install it later by running BootMii and the Bannerbomb exploit? Will that require an entire re-hack?
Configurable USB loader will work without HBC, but ofc you'll need to find a way to boot it without the HBC. (through a channel for example)
I think however its smarter to just remove all apps of your SD card (making the HBC useless) than to uninstall the HBC (eventhough you can install it at any time again).

Does it matter if u use a SD card(2GB) or a SDHC(8GB) card for softmodding?
What kind of DVD's u need for backups? And what brand do u prefer?
