Homebrew For Wii Download

PART 1 - Preparing to Install
1. Make sure that you have the correct equipment. You'll need the following items for this task:
-SDHC card - A large SD card of up to 8 gigabytes is needed to install Homebrew and perform other file-based tasks.
-USB flash drive - This is the drive on which you'll install the games.
-Wii remote - If you have a newer (black) model of Wii, you'll need a generic Wii remote to help with the installation.
2. Format your flash drive for FAT32. To do so, select FAT32 (or MS-DOS (FAT) on a Mac) in the 'File System' section of the format menu.
-Keep in mind that formatting a flash drive will erase its contents, so back up the contents to your computer or another flash drive if necessary.
3. Empty the Wii's disc drive. If there is currently a disc in the Wii, remove it before proceeding.
4. Connect your Wii to the Internet. Your Wii will need a network connection in order to install the bulk of the USB tool's files.
5. Install Homebrew on your Wii. If you haven't yet installed the Homebrew channel for your Wii, you'll need to do so before proceeding. The Homebrew channel allows you to install custom modifications, one of which will let you play games off of a USB drive.
6. Format your SD card. Once you've installed Homebrew with the SD card, you'll need to wipe it clean so that you can use it for the USB installation files. The easiest way to do this is by formatting the SD card.
-As with the flash drive, choose FAT32 (or MS-DOS (FAT) on a Mac) as the file system.
