Hello!

My name is Jake and I'm new to Wiihacks! For the last several days while I was at work all I could think about was hacking a Wii...well finally after reading the wiihacks guide several times I finally got up the guts to go out to the pawn shop and buy a Wii to do it...with success! Thanks so much for the in-depth guides, they really help people like me get off the ground!

Hello

Thank you for becoming a member of the best wii modding site around!

First off you need to read the Site rules and try your best to abide by them.
Also You need to realise that this site is here to help you make the most out of your Wii and not to help people with piracy!

Now we know the rules its time to find the right guide for modding your wii, I recommend the

The Softmod Any Wii Guide by Mauifrog

This guide works for all wii's

And Bluphant's noobs guide - Basic introduction to wii hacking

There are also other guides which you can find in the Guides and tutorials section


Once you have completed the guide you need to ascertain if your wii is capable of playing backups via the disc drive or whether you need to be usb loading.

Wii's post 2009 generally cannot play backups via the disc drive and have to use usb loading.

I recommend usb loading anyway as you can add an remove your games easily and there is no wear and tear on your disc drive and no messing about with discs etc.

What you will need to know -

What drives are compatible - Usb Compatibility list

How to set your drive up - Loading and Playing Wii Backup Games from USB HDD


Once your HDD is setup and ready to go, you will need a program to manage your games!
Checkout Peire's Wii Game Manager Guide


Now your set up and ready to go, but you run in to a problem with one of your game backups -
