You need a GameCube controller.
Or use the buttons on the wii console itself - power button to cycle through the options, reset button to select.
Just wanted to say thanks to Waninkoko for releasing this firmware updater so quickly. It's a shame that Marcan is
slagging him off yet again over at Slashdot, spreading FUD that Microsoft themselves would be proud of:

Piracy utilities do nasty stuff to your system all the time, they're buggy, and they brick lots of people's Wiis. I'm talking about safety-critical bugs here.

Loaders, besides typically illegal (they like to ship around chunks of IOS), are very dodgy and unreliable. System modification is required to install loaders, so it's an inherently risky activity. About 50% of the reports of permanent bricks I get from people are due to using
Waninkoko's stuff. Stay far away, he never learned what that 'int' thing before function prototypes is for.

Waninkoko has repeatedly violated licenses and stolen code from others (first me, then bushing, then kwiirk with the USB stuff, as well as lots of other random bits and pieces) all while doing an insignificant amount of research and actual work himself, and he is sponsored by a website associated with modchip sales, has worked for modchip manufacturers, and adds advertisement banners to all of his tools. In fact, his first release of game-loading tools came about as a way to hit the modchip guys he worked for back because he felt they weren't paying him enough. One of his tools (a completely useless sort of survey he came up with, which he asked everyone to run) actually went as far as to open up the Opera browser on the Wii (if it was installed) to his sponsor's site.

USB loading or any kind of "backup loading" is not supported by the Wiibrew community because 90% of its users are massive pirates. If you want to legitimately use games you own from USB, you're on your own. Fair warning: most of the software involved is crappy, unstable, and/or dangerous.

I've yet to hear any report of a Wii being bricked by the HackMii installer (or any other prior versions, including the old standalone Homebrew Channel installer). So far, as far as we know, 100% of the Wiis bricked via "homebrew" have in fact been bricked via either dodgy piracy tools (the people behind them seem to go for insta-releasing to become famous, instead of actually doing that old thing called QA and Testing and doing things like checking error codes)
