Nice guide chaps Few questions now!

I've followed the Method A guide and managed to do everything highlighted in red perfect, no probs.

I now have backed my game up and burned the ISO image to a blank dvd, how do i play it?? just whack it in and it loads on it's own?

Jesus peeps m8, you done the really hard part, , loading a
game is a doddle, click on ULoader, make sure you still have the sd card in it's slot, click start, click load and that's you.

black wii

According to the serial nr LEF500 I would have a D3 drive and not a D3-2 drive. This tutorial begins with saying that all black drives are D3-2 and cannot play games from DVD. Is this entirely correct??
How safe is it to do a softmod? Can I still play original games and wich method A or B would you recommend me?
Thanx for your replies!!

follow the instructions, as soon as you have the homebrew channel on your Wii your good to go......

Right i just spent 20 notes getting a sd card and reader . Ive tried that tut and my wii either freezes or just shows me whats on the sd card. I have nothing at all on my wii no homebrew stuff or nowt do i need to put something on before doing this tut ??

If it doesnt freeze i just get ???? in the sd menu and cant do anything with it. Ive follwed the tut word for word any idea guys ?

A few questions:

I moded my Wii directly when I got it so I don?t know how it works in original condition. Then I helped a friend to mod his and it works fine but he says that after the mod he has to install the motes manually. I have the same issue, when I start up the Wii I have to try which mote that starts it (pressing A in the first screen) and then start uLOADER, load the desired game and then press home, disconnect and reinstall all motes that will be used.

Is this because of the softmod?
Why is it like that then?
Can I install anything to make it recognize the motes automatically again?

try this.
Try these steps!


Turn the Wii console power OFF by pressing the POWER Button on the front of the console. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet for a few seconds. After a few seconds have elapsed, plug the cord back into the wall outlet.


Turn the power of the Wii console ON. When you see the Health and Safety screen, open the small flap on the front of the Wii console to find a red button labeled "SYNC." Press and hold the SYNC Button down for 15 seconds. This will clear all the syncs on the Wii, allowing you to get a clean start to begin the process described below.


After holding the SYNC Button on the Wii console down for at least 15 seconds, you can now "re-sync" your Wii Remotes:

With the first Wii Remote you wish to sync, remove the battery cover on the back of the Wii Remote to find a small red button just below the batteries.


Press and release the small red button just below the batteries on the Wii Remote; the blue lights on the front of the Wii Remote will blink.


Quickly press and release the red SYNC button on the inside of the white flap on the front of the Wii console (picture).


When the Player LED blinking stops and stays lit, the syncing is complete. The LED that is illuminated indicates the player number (1 through 4).


This sync procedure (steps "a" through "d" above) must be followed for each additional Wii Remote added to the system.
