You need a version 4.1 Wii or lower and at least a 2 GB SD card with an SD card reader to put the files in the root of your sd card.

Found an incredibly easy and simple guide to softmodding your Wii just out of the blue!!  Afro You guys can thank me later...

Guide & files updated November 01, 2009

This will work on any Wii.

except korean Wiis.


This guide accomplishes the following:
1] Updates your wii to the latest firmware.
2] Installs the Homebrew Channel, Bootmii, and DVDX onto your wii.
3] Enables the trucha bug your Wii for homebrew to operate correctly.
4] Installs custom IOS 202 [USB 2.0 support], 222 & 223 [Hermes v4], 249 & 250 [Waninkoko rev14] to your wii.
5] Allows your Wii to play Wii backups through a backup loader, directly from the disc channel, &/or via usb.
6] Play Wiiware & Virtual Console games off the sd card menu.




required beforehand


- SD card [preferably non-sdhc] with around 700mb free [600mb for NAND backup, 100mb everything else]
- PC with internet connection & SD card reader.
- Wii [to mod]

Modify 4.2


The actual hacking guide. Only will work for those on a 4.2 firmware.



Setting up the SD Card


1st download the precompiled link modify.zip
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/305584512/modify.zip

Extract the "modify.zip" & put the files onto a SD card & insert the SD card into the Wii.



Installing The Homebrew Channel & Bootmii


Run bannerbomb by going to the SD Card menu & choosing yes to load boot.dol/elf
This runs the Hackmii Installer from which you should install the Homebrew Channel, DVDX [optional], & Bootmii as IOS & boot2 if possible.



Making a NAND backup


Restart your Wii, if Bootmii was installed as boot2, then it will show up as soon as the Wii is turned on.
If Bootmii was only installed as an IOS, then it must be loaded by pressing home in the HBC & clicking Launch Bootmii.

Press the power button on the wii 3 times to get to the last option, then press the reset button.
[You can also navigate with a gc controller.]
Press reset to choose the first option, & then follow the directions on the screen to make your NAND backup.
[Bad blocks are no problem.]
Backup the Bootmii folder, NAND.bin, & keys.bin elsewhere & erase from the sd card. [or rename it.]
Head back to The Homebrew Channel.



Restoring the Trucha Bug


Run Trucha Bug Restorer
Press B to choose No IOS Reload.
Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.
Go to Downgrade IOS15.
Press A to downgrade.
Everytime it says "load IOS from SD" press A.

Run Trucha Bug Restorer
Choose IOS15 & press A. (Important)
Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.
Choose IOS36 menu. In there use these settings:

Install IOS to slot (36)
Hash check (trucha) YES
ES_Identity YES
NAND Permissions YES

Then press A on install patched IOS36.
Everytime it says "load IOS from SD" press A.

Run Trucha Bug Restorer
Choose IOS36 & press A.
Wait till it says Press 1 then press it.
Then Choose restore IOS15.
Press A to restore.
Everytime it says "load IOS from SD" press A.



Deleting stub IOS's


Run Any Title Deleter DB
Choose IOS36 & press A.
Go to System Titles & press A.
Select IOS222 & press A to delete.
Select IOS223 & press A to delete.
Select IOS249 & press A to delete.
Select IOS250 & press A to delete.
*If any IOS listed above is not there, check the other pages. If it's still not there, do not worry about it & move along with the guide.



Installing cIOS & Patching the System Menu IOS


Run WAD Manager 1.5
When it opens choose IOS36. (it is probably already set to that)
Press A to leave NAND emulator disabled.
Press A to open from SD slot.
Install IOS70-v6687.wad
Install IOS202-v4.wad
Install IOS222-v4.wad
Install IOS223-v4.wad
Install IOS249-v14.wad
Install IOS250-v65535.wad
Press home to exit.



Enable System Menu Hacks




[optional; recommended if Bootmii is only installed as an IOS.]


Run Preloader .30 to install preloader onto your system.
Enable desired hacks & go into the settings & make sure the system menu is set to load with IOS70.
*if getting the ”aborting mission” error, use the “preloaderv0.29-jodi.dol” located at modify\apps\preloaderv0.30r4-phpgeek first, then use this preloader to update from .29 to .30



After Modding


Read here for instructions on how to use The Homebrew Channel & play backup games.



Now at this point your almost done. Now you should be downloading the latest homebrew applications & setting them up on your SD Card so they can be launched via the Homebrew Channel. http://www.Wiibrew.org is a website that has information on the latest apps.

For downloading applications, you should:
1] Download http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Browser to get many popular apps & keep them up to date, but this is an online only application
2] For those without internet, check out this http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_homebrew_applications & get the latest emulators, media players, & utilities.

After getting whatever apps you want, you should get a boot.dol file & possibly a icon.png & meta.xml. (IMG:http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4024/appsappsapps.png)
This file is basically the executable that runs the program on your Wii.
This boot.dol goes in a custom named folder in the (IMG:http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4885/appso.png)folder on the root of your SD Card.
For HBC to read your SD correctly, your card must be structured SD:apps/application name/boot.dol
Here is an example of the (IMG:http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4885/appso.png)folder on my SD Card (IMG:http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5359/appsapps.png)
In every folder, there is a boot.dol, icon.png, & meta.xml.

For playing your disc backups, you should either:
1] Download http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=6572 & set it up on your SD card.
2] Download http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1AJET8O9 & set it up on your SD card.
3] Download http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=188378 for playing games directly through the disc channel. [read the ~censored~ readme first!]

If you have a very new Wii & it fails to run DVD backups, you may have a drive with the new D3-2 chipset. They are incapable of reading dvd's of any sort. It can still play games via USB loaders though.

For playing your backups off a USB hard drive, check out the http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=179085 to learn about the different USB loaders & how to set up your Hard Drive correctly to install games.
