Select Yes You must review the User Agreements before using the Wii network services. Select Next Connecting to Internet... Please wait a moment. Another screen will appear with message to "Please wait, this will take 1-2 minutes." Do NOT press I Accept at this point, or it will go to the previous screen. These next two screens will show up, one with console text, which is the exploit, and the next look like static. This is ok The next screen is a message not to be scammed by buying a copy of HackMii. Wait for the option to press '1' to continue. The HackMii menu will now appear, press 'A' to continue. On the HackMii installer screen, use the D-pad on the Wii to arrow up to Install The HomeBrew Channel. At this point the Wii can be powered off. Install Wii Homebrew Browser https://oscwii.org/ I have read that a 2gb non-hd sd card was needed, but found that up to a 32gb card works just fine. Remove the sd card and download and extract the zip file on the main page. Move the folder on the root of the sd card (i.e. apps/homebrew_browser/). More applications can now be accessed from the Homebrew Browser. Adding roms (i.e. Nintendo 64 games) From the Homebrew Browser, add the not64 emulator, as the Wii64 would not save games for me. This is an updated version of the Wii64 emulator. At the root of the sd card, if it is not already there, create a not64/roms folder and place the roms in here. Play Wii games from a USB drive First need to install cIOS (custom OS) Will be installing: cIOS 249 base 56 v10 beta52, some guides say cIOS 249 base 56 beta52-alt, YMMV. cIOS 250 base 57 v10 beta52 From the Homebrew Browser, go to the Utilities tab and install USBLoader and the d2x cIOS installer. Wait for the app to load. You will see the main screen, press A Change the following: cIOS to v10 beta 52 d2x-v10-beta52-alt base to 56 slot to 249 revision to 65535 Press A to load these values The app will go back to the main screen, just go right back into the app. Change the following: cIOS to v10 beta 52 d2x-v10-beta52 base to 57 slot to 250 revision to 65535 Press A to load these values You are now ready to format the external USB drive This can be either FAT32 or ext4 Plug in the USB drive afterwards and load the USBloader It only works in one USB slot, so if this is not recognized the first time, move the plug to the other slot. Now you can save games from Wii disks, or load roms from the same drive
