you will ned to mod your wii and instal a usb loader.

best way is to use an interacxtive wizzard called modii
there is one in downloads. (proberly not the latest one, but it should autoupdate)
Digital Kaos - Downloads - modmii 4.3.4

it will download everything you need and write a custom tut for you.

You don't say which Wii version your using if its 4.3 then you can easily use LetterBomb then straight afterwards do a NAND backup don't miss this option. Then install PriiLoader 0.7 to block any online or disc updates.

You will need a 2GB SD card to softmod it not a SDHC card.

Now ModMii is a good tool but you will notice that it only get the CFG USB Loader and WiiFlow as USB Loaders it doesn't give you USB Loader GX which to me is the best.

There are quite a few threads that talk about USB Loader GX you can add it to your SD card from Digital Kaos - Downloads - Usbloader gx 2.3 r1128 and d2x v7 with mmm 13.4 or direct USB Loader GX with the forwarder channel.

Then you need to find a suitable and large enough mains powered USB hard drive to add all your games on to.

There are plenty of tutorials on each section on here.

it is version 3.1E

[barrowmanandrew]

that could be a good thing..

must be really old, will probably play dvd backups as well.

you can use modmii to safely update the wii and shopping channel while doing the mod..

[westkill]

yea the person i got it of used it a couple of time 3 or 4 year ago i think

[barrowmanandrew]

get it modded.

you can have it modded to backups games from harddrive
you can instal media players to stream movies or play dvds
you can have bbci player channel
you can have netflix (or whatever that new streaming service is)
can also put emulater channels for older consoles on it....

the lad uses his mainly for streaming stuff from the pc and bbci player now....

does it have to be on 4.3 to download letterbomb thing with mac address ?
and
downloaded modmii and updated it on pc ready to put on sd card
is this right so far ?
do i add the usb loader gx to card as well bit lost here

[barrowmanandrew]

you need to run modmii and pick all selections for you.

select:

"w" for wizzard

"y" first time softmodding wii

"3.x" for your current wii version
"e" for euro

"4.1" or "4.3" for version of wii to upgrade to.(i always do 4.3)

"a" "s" or "n" for channels, (easier to select "a" and delete ones you dont like.

"r" , "g" , "bl" "o" "n" for custom theme ( i just pick "n")

"y" for usb loader
"1" for fat32
"3" foir both config and wii flow
"usb" to files saved on drive rather than sd card
(these settings arre up to you, i find this setup easiest)

"y" for yes

then "d" for default pathways, this means folders will created in the modmii folder for you.

once you have done that it will create a tut for you and create two folders, one called "copy to usb" and one called "copy to sd"

just folllow the tut it generates, can't go wrong..

you can add the gx loader later on...

or i could setup the wizard for you and upload the folders and tut, if that makes it any easier..

does it have to be on 4.3 to download letterbomb thing with mac address ?

LetterBomb is ONLY for 4.3 systems and it only softmods. To me if you not on the lastest system and you've never softmodded before then why not update? Plus with the earlier hacks you needed an original game disc before you could use the softmod hack now you don't with LetterBomb.

With 4.3 you will have the Shopping Channel which isn't much good really apart from adding other channels like the BBC Iplayer and the Internet Channel thats if you want to surf on your Wii.

Now USB Loader GX from downloads is just the apps version which is 3 files boot.dol, icon.png and meta.xml. If you goto USB Loader GX and click on Downloads click on USB Loader GX Easy installer (for Windows) which downloads USBLoaderGX_Installer.exe which is run from Windows with the SD card inserted. It writes all the relevant files to run this app with its own config folder to store settings and game pictures. Now you don't really want to keep starting HBC just to run USB Loader GX thats where the forwarder channel comes it you just click on it from the Wii menu.

ModMii will app the mmm folder in the apps folder this is for installing different wads for different functions. Now all 3 USB Loaders use cIOS249 before they will work so you may as well install all the wads in d2x v7 final then you'll be up to date.

If you do decide to use Modmii and select USB Loaders that only adds CFG USB Loader and WiiFlow. You can us these just to try them out and compare them with USB Loader GX to see which one you like the most then you can install forwarder wads so those are on the Wii menu as well.

Anything that ModMii tells you that you need will be downloaded into COPY_TO_SD sub folder so you just copy these to the SD card.

Because your Wii is 3.1E then you will still be able to play burnt games that you download and you can play them using NeoGamma R8 or R9. To me that isn't really necessary if you using a HDD as you have to buy good quality DVD's so you will need to find somewhere to store these 100's of games that you will eventually download.

Thats enough for now I don't want to confuse you much more. What you have to decide is do you update to 4.3 and use LetterBomb?

will a micro card work in a sd adapter ?

will a micro card work in a sd adapter ?

No its not ideal we had a thread recently saying he couldn't get his micro card to work.

If you haven't soldmodded yet then don't be tight and spend ?4 on a full size 2GB SD card.

Even though your on 3.1E I would suggest you do an online update to 4.3E then you'll have the extra features and channels of the Shopping Channel. Then use LetterBomb to softmod it otherwise if you leave it at 3.1E you would have to get an original game disc to softmod it.

Oh both Zumba Fitness - NTSC - SZ5E5G and Zumba Fitness 2 - NTSC - SZ2E5G work of my USB HDD.
