This is my first post here, so Hi everyone!
A couple months ago, while on a business trip, I bought a Wii and a handful of games to play with my sons. Everything was going fine until he got a new game as a gift. The Wii was bought in Europe, and I had no idea about it being region specific (my ATARI didn´t have this!!!). So I did a little reading and found a few tutorials not only on how to unlock it, but how to run back up games from the HDD instead of keep messing with discs (particulary bad with my 5 year old). But since I never did anything like this, I am a little lost and have some basic questions that maybe you can help me with. Our Wii is ver. 4.3 (E).
- Can I follow this tutorial, or is there something better/easier? https://sites.google.com/site/completesg/hacking-guide/4-3-guide
- Even on ver. 4.3, do I still need an SD, or can I use an SDHC?
- Should I hook up my HDD during the whole process, just for the USBLoader, or when?
- Are any of those programs going to be intalled on the HDD, or on the Wii itself?
- How do I prepare the HDD? How many partitions? Does it matter if it´s NTFS or FAT32?
- About getting the games on the HDD... should I just copy the ISO or do I use a program for this?
Thanks in advance!
