File:4.3 Wii Hack.zip‎

Phase 1

First, we are going to install the homebrew channel and install bootmii as IOS. You will need to follow these steps precisely and in order:

1. Make sure your SD Card is formatted and completely blank!
2. Extract the contents of the 4.3 Wii hackmii installer.zip to your SD Card and insert it into the Wii
3. Boot up Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
4. Start up a new game and get far enough for the game to make a save file on your Wii and then exit the game.
5. Reboot the Wii and check your Wii's internal Save Data, if there is a save file for Indiana Jones, you are good to go! Check the Save Data on your SD Card, there should be 3 save files named IndianaPwns. Copy over the one that is appropriate for your region ( e.g. USA for me ) If that doesn't work, simply delete the save file on your Wii and try to copy the SD Card's save file again.
6. Once the IndianaPwns save data is installed to the Wii itself, start up Lego Indiana Jones once more. This time, click "load" and load up the first save file.
7. When the game begins, you will need to head to the gallery room. If you can't find it, the pictures on the right are there to help you.
8. Once you are in the Gallery Room, talk to the guy on the pedestal holding the bazooka. Scroll through the options and click the icon that has two lego people in it. Shabamm! Your screen should turn black and begin loading the boot.elf on your SD Card.
9. Install the Homebrew Channel
10. Install BootMii as IOS
11. Click exit and shut off the Wii.
12. Remove the SD Card and plug it back into your computer

Phase 2

Okay, this is the fun part, but also where most of the danger lies, so be extremely cautious and follow these steps in order!

1. Format your SD Card and make sure it is completely empty. Extract the contents of 4.3 Wii Second.zip to your SD Card. Make sure your SD Card's contents match the picture on the right -->
2. Insert the SD Card into your Wii and boot it up. On your main screen, you should see a channel called Homebrew Channel; launch it. Once this channel is loaded up, click the HOME button and then click "Launch BootMii"
3. Click the option that says "Remove stubbed IOSs"
4. Click the topmost option, once that is done, return to the main screen
5. Click the option called "WAD Manager"
6. Press 1 to install all the wads, make sure ALL are installed SUCCESSFULLY, return to the main screen
7. Click the option called "Manage System Menu"
8. Make sure that Version is set to 4.1U, and click "A" to confirm. If it asks, download from network.
9. Exit, and restart the Wii. Boot up the Homebrew Channel again, except this time, launch PriiLoader
10. Press the "+" button to install PriiLoader. Once it is done, your Wii may glitch up; this is normal. Turn off the Wii.
11. While holding the reset button, press the power button on your Wii. You will be presented with the PriiLoader screen
12. Click the option that says "System Menu Hacks"; configure your hacks the way I have mine in the picture on the right -->
13. Save your changes and shutdown the Wii.

Your Wii is hacked!! Now all you have to do is download apps and set up your usb loader for playing Wii Games!

Installing Channels

Using the WAD Manager, you can install pretty much anything you'd normally buy from the Wii Shop Channel. To install a WAD:

All you have to do is find a WAD that you want to install. Don't ask me where *google is your friend* Once you have found a WAD you want, make sure you place it in the "WAD" folder on your SD Card. Run the WAD Manager, and install it!
