Hi guys,

New to the site and have been trying to softmod my wii version 4.2E have followed the instructions and where it says create a folder called SD:\apps in the root directory of the SD drive I am stuck it tells me I cannot use these characters. I am not really that great with PC's so this has been causing me grief when trying to get the homebrew channel installed on my wii using my SD card with the files I have downloaded. Can anyone give me a complete idiots guide on how I get this to work from downloading the files, how to create such a folder on my SD card and so on this would be greatly appreciated and will stop me losing what hair I have left

Thanks in advance

Sorry for reposting the same message just struggling to get this to work. I have extracted the files from the download on to my SD card then I Locked the SD card and put it into my wii. When I switched it on the homebrew channel wan't there, Why is the homebrew channel not coming up when I do this? I am using a 2GB San Disk SD card. Any help to resolve this would be appreciated.

thanks
