Want to play games before you buy them? Want to play every game from past nintendo and other systems? Want to get wiiware and other wii games for free? Well you have come to the right place. I am going to show you how to hack the wii in an easy step by step tutorial.
Required
- 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]
One of the following games is required if on 4.3 firmware.
- Super Smash Brothers Brawl, All Wii's.
- Lego Indiana Jones, US/Europe Wii's ONLY.
- Yu-Gi-OH 5D's Wheelie Breakers, All Wii's.
- LEGO Batman, All Wii's.
- LEGO Star Wars, US/Europe Wii's ONLY.
Starting:
Modify 4.2/4.3
The actual hacking guide for 4.2/4.3. Only will work for those on a 4.2/4.3 firmware.
Setting up the SD Card
1st download the precompiled link 42/43mod.zip by emailing simplisticmod@gmail.com (you should get a reply with links in a few seconds).
FORMAT your SD card.
Extract the "42/43mod.zip" & put the files onto a SD card & insert the SD card into the Wii.
Installing The Homebrew Channel & Bootmii via exploit.
Bannerbomb
For all Wii owners on 4.2.
If you are on 4.2, run bannerbomb by going to the SD Card menu & choosing yes to load boot.dol/elf
(If it freezes or nothing shows up, try another version of bannerbomb.)
This runs the Hackmii Installer from which you should install the Homebrew Channel & Bootmii as IOS & boot2 if possible.
Wii Onwers of 4.3
Super Smash Brothers Brawl Hack:
First off, this will not work if you have ANY custom stages, including the 3 that come with a new save file.
RE-READ THE ABOVE LINE
Delete/move them, and then launch Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Once on the Main Menu select Vault, then select Stage Builder.
The Smash Stack exploit should take over and you should see the Hackmii Installer running.
This runs the Hackmii Installer from which you should install the Homebrew Channel & Bootmii as IOS & boot2 if possible.

After this you want to probably go with the USB loader. This will enable you to download wii games and then play them off your external hard drive. This will save a lot of money on discs.
Here is a website on how to get all that setup.
