Thanks again for the guide, as a beginner to the softmad world (had a d2ckey fitted for ages) Ive a few questions about all this.

How do I install neogamma? Is it a case of installing the dol through the homebrew channel and then installing the update through wad manager?

I have a 300G usb hard drive that I want to fill with ISO's, do my kids have to choose which ios, pal version etc of each particular game they want to play everytime? Is there a way it remembering your choice through uloader or neogamma?

The only bit of the guide I got stuck on was finding the "Bootmii configuration editor" so that I can put a delay in for when it boots into the normal wii startup screen.

Any help appreciated.

Ok a bit of googling, and for that game you need ios 53, see attachment.
Now use the wad manager, stick this on your sd card with the other wads.

Forget about the neogamma loader m8, just install the ULoader, you must have an SD card in to run this, your going to be using a hard drive anyway so no need for the neogamma loader Uloader does it all.
I believe you just select the game via the menu, I dont use a hard drive, old skool everything to disc,

, but it's a simply menu m8, easy for kids to use I'm sure.

Bootmii, select homebrew channel, then select the home button on the wii remote, brings up all options, that what your on about m8?

Tried the home button and I dont think its the bit I need, in the guide it says
"21. In the homebrew channel run the Bootmii configuration editor application."
Not sure why but I dont have that option there, just be a bit easier for the kids not having to mess around with power and reset buttons.

Getting the hang of things now, gotta say think its going to be easier than having a load of games around getting lost or scratched. Just in the process of copying them from dvd to the hdd using uloader, the ability to get the covers on screen is good too. If you have a spare hdd knocking around mate I definitely recommend giving it a go.

Yup the info i just gave you is for this, all it is it brings up different options for you to back up your nand, you have to use the power and reset buttons to select the different options, either that or plug in a game cube controller and use that to navigate.
Try it.
