[TUT] How to install Homebrew/ Pull an ISO/ Install a Mod Menu

[Notorious]

so you have a new wii and want to start modding it?? but you have noo fucking clue where to start??

Installing Homebrew
First we're going to softmod your wii using the smashstack exploit
this requires:
-4.3U firmware on your Wii
-2gb SD card (make sure its SD and not SDHC)
-Super Smash Bros Brawl game
-These files HERE

for the rest of the instructions just watch this video


Extracting an ISO

this is for people who want to extract ISO's off the CD's they already have. I personally use Wiiflow but i know for a fact other USB loaders can Rip ISO's, if you do just figure out how to rip the ISO and skip to step 6.

Step 1.Make sure wiiflow is working on your wii
Step 2.start wiiflow (Note:you will need some external memory device)
Step 3.go to setting and click on install game
Step 4.Insert CD
Step 5.Click ok and wait for wiiflow to download the game onto your external memory device
Step 6.Once its done plug your external memory device into your computer, you will notice the game is in .wbfs format on your memory device
Step 7.Run Wii Backup Manager and find the location of the game in .wbfs format
Step 8.once it shows up select it by clicking the box on the first column
Step 9.Click the Transfer button then click ISO and choose where you want the new ISO file to be located
Step 10.Sit back and wait, once its done you will have the ISO file for the game you want

P.S Black ops ISO's must be set on any cIOS with Base57 to run properly
if you need to install a cIOS with base 57 then download this app

Hermes cIOS222 v5.1
http://www.mediafire.com/?9u4c2kdsq5no52z

this video will show you how to install teh cIOS's, i know i posted v5.1 and the video shows v5.0 but you literally install the same exact way with the same bases



when you go to your USB loader make sure Black Ops is set to run on IOS 224 and you're good to go

I'll update this should anything change in the process, to add pictures, or when i get time i'll add all exploits used to install homebrew

[Notorious]

ok i cant seem to get wiiflow to load what should i do

You don't have to use wiiflow its just my preference...what's not working?? Is it just not loading? Or is it saying your HD isn't there when it really is?

[batpwnz]

For wiiflow to download the game onto your external memory device how big would the external memory device have to be? i have a 2gb usb is that enough?
