Wii Softmod Question

[razrslash]

Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to the whole modding scene, as well as to these forums (Nice to meet everyone). I've followed Akyboos Softmod for Dummies walkthrough with no problem, Kudos on making it easy for simple-minded folks like myself. Although from there I'm a bit lost as to where to go.

The only thing I'm interested in is playing Wii games off of my external hard drive. I see this 'USB Loader' term being thrown around a lot, but I'm not sure where to get it, how to install it, or if that's even what I need.

Here's what I got: A Wii with Version 3.2U. Like previously stated, I already got the Homebrew Channel up and running. But from here, is USB Loader what I'm looking for?

I appreciate any and all help.

Thanks guys, grabbed everything for the download section and I should be game now. Just have one more question regarding the USB Loader...

Am I able to play any region games, or do I have to stick with what my console is, which is NTSC?

if youve not got preloader installed i'd stick to ntsc.
