Sorry to do this but I am taking down all of my guides.
My orginal post for the reason I am doing this has been edited. Most of this stuff can be obtained by doing some research.
There are some here that have a good handle on the scene so hopfully somone else will step up to the plate and resume where I have left off.
Its been a nice ride and hope the best for all.

Nice guide
This guide will pretty much make your Wii in the best state possible for Homebrew with the exception of having Bootmii. But not everyone can have Bootmii on Boot2.
With this you can pretty much do anything that you want to do.
Although I do know that some people still have reservations about updating to 4.0
I've personally never had any problems with cIOS rev 10.

hi larryljie,
I am reading your guide, and its abit confusing.
In the previous Guide thread "How to Install HBC + WiiGator Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma with GC Support & USB Loader", the last post u posted you told @FS9 to use the guide at http://www.yafaze.com/wii/4.0updateguide.html to update his wii to 4.0.
According to that website, it says that that you should not update to 4.0 unless you have CIOS and HomeBrew channel installed already.
In this thread, it only said i need to be at firmware 4.0.
Should i follow the tutorial here at http://www.yafaze.com/wii/4.0updateguide.html first, and then follow the tutorial in this thread?
I have a jap wii on firmware 3.4J. I don't have any homebrew or any softmods done to it yet. its only got a mod chip. how would i go about installing CIOS and HBC on my console before installing firmware 4.0 (provided i need to do so)?
any help would be great.

As I said in the old thread. The softmod scene has changed allot in the past few months (including new ways to mod 4.0 systems).
FS9 already had a softmodded system but wanted to update to 4.0 firmware. That uses a different guide.
This guide is intended for users that have a non-softmodded system.
Follow this guide and ignore anything in the old guide.
This is why I started a new updated thread.

Great guide, you will need to upgrade to 4.0 first and you won't need legend of Zelda hack to install homebrew thanks to bannerbomb and Loadmii.

Larry thanks for all your work here in this website. But this guide seems complicated due to the fact that there are seperate links that we must follow. I read the guide on the links and noticed that it says to not copy only to link to that page but can you re type it in your own words as your guides are a little more easy to follow? And just give credit for it at the end of your guide? Please.
Im new, so bear with me!

Also can you get a good working 4.0 mod update stickied or maybe a link to it on this thread that allows all 3.4 and below users that already have a modded wii to update to 4.0? Having both would be great (Virgin 4.0 Mod & and Modded 3.4 and below update to 4.0) Thanks agian buddy.

It is to complicated to click on a link?
All you have to do is go to the link I provided which will install everything you need.
Then come back here and finish the guide if you want GameCube and USB Loader support.
I can't make it any simpler then what is on the linked guide I provided. It is straight forward and simple. My last guide was more complicated because I had different sections depending on what firmware you are on. This is much easier because you update to 4.0 no matter what firmware you have and everyone uses the same linked guide.

Hey thanks Larry.....As far as a it being complicated.. well i think for a noob it would be pretty difficult to understand how to mod a virgin wii on 4.0 (zip unzip newest alpha file etc). Also do you happen to have the original thread that was called "waninikoko's 4.0 updater". I want to read the comments members have left there in regards to option 1 or option 2. I wanna know which is the best to use and what kind of problems i might run into. Thanks again.

i am a total noob when it comes to softmodding.
i have a wiikey2 w/clip installed. which works great but some of my ntsc games wouldnt work.
i had FW 3.4 and updated to v4.0 without realising that i couldnt get homebrew channel or anything then. i had to wait about a month, and then i noticed your guide here. :-)
i followed your guide, and everything works perfectly now.
the guide was really easy to follow.
thankyou sooo much !

is it possible to have usb loader gx as a channel itself instead of having a "forwarder channel" that way the sd card does not need to be in the wii?

So far smooth sailing...
However, I'm having trouble with the gamecube backup section. I installed it according to your procedure, and it seemed to go well, but I am unable to launch back-ups. I've tried to reboot with hooks and launch from the normal disc channel, and launch it directly from the back-up channel, and both just restart my wii. When I reboot with hooks, the disc channel recognizes it as a gamecube disc, but then restarts.
I've also am using good dvd-r's, as well as burning them at slow speeds, so I don't believe that's the problem. Any thoughts?

The WAD install file is out there but this application is updated pretty much weekly so a forwarder is more practical then installing the channel itself then uninstalling it and reinstalling an updated version when it comes out.

Not all Game Cube games are compatible. Try a different game if you can't get the one your trying to work. HERE is a Game Cube compatibility list.

When Playing Punch Out, disc channel is asking for system update, but I can play the game with no issues using the back up channel. I am on firmware 4.00 and realise Punch Out carries the 4.00 update, so i'm not overly concerned. It's just I've done this mod on some friends' wiis and they might accept the system update if they play newer games. What problems would this cause? Would it wipe out the HBC and back up launcher? Would like to get to the bottom of this just to put my mind at rest. Thanks again for your assistance.

i've downloaded the zip from the extra steps section. just wondering, once i have installed the forwarder, the only things that should be left inside the sd card are the following folders (i.e. i can delete everything else that was from the zip file):
x:\images\
x:\apps\usbloader\
x:\wad\

After installing GameCube support and cIOS36_rev9 (if you choose to use that instead of rev10) you can delete cIOS36_rev9 and cMIOS_rev3 from the apps directory.
If you want to use Wad Manager then keep /apps/wadmanager directory and wad directory. If you are not going to use it then delete those directories.
If you want to keep the USB Loader then keep /images/disc directory and /apps/usbloader directory. If you are not going to use it then delete those directories.

I too am getting the dreaded green screen. I looked at that list and Res Evil is supposed to be working just fine. However, I tries both the Gamma channel and the GC backup channel and both just cause the system to reboot. Does anyone have a fix or should I just go back to an older launcher?

Alrighty, maybe I'm just a stooge, but was I supposed to leave files on my card after installed gamecube support? Or was I supposed to leave everything from step 1 on?
I also checked, and my game is indeed in the "works" category.

I just said in my above post what to keep on the SD card and what to.
Maybe you have a bad rip of the game. I duno what else to say.
Usually green screen is a region issue.
Also some say it works shrunk. Try shrinking the game and see if that works.

Ok, i'm having a bit of probs....following the guide, but on the FIRST step:
Go down to DowngraderIOS35.dol and run it by pressing "A" on the WiiMote.
Choose downgrade IOS35 and then let it go, then choose exit (ignore the patchmii and dvdx)
I run DowngraderIOS35 but the screen I guess just freezes? I've left it sitting there for about 10 minutes and nothing happens....is it supposed to take this long? I'm running 4.0U firmware and my system begins with LU31. Dunno what the problem could be....
So at any rate after the 10 minutes I just powered off the Wii and went about doing the rest of the guide....the Homebrew and Backup Launcher channels show up, but when I launch HBC, nothing appears on the screen except the bubbles...and when i launch Backup Launcher, it doesn't load any of the backups i put in, despite them all working fine on two other Wii's....think its safe to say I messed something up :( I've used your tuts without any probs Larry on the 3.4 and 3.2 Wiis, and this was my first attempt at a 4.0 Wii....sigh, not going too well....at least I didn't brick it though LOL....

Did you install the IOS35.wad and CIOSv7.wad?
If so did it install properly?
If not try starting from the beginig of the guide again.

This forum is really long. I read a few pages but haven't found an answer. I get the #002 error. I have a version 3.1U with Wiigator Backup Launcher Gamma 0.3 and all my backups worked fine until I hit Punch-Out. That's when I first see this #002 error. With the few pages I read, I have to update the cios, mios. It says the fix is for 4.0. What I want to know is can I update the cios and backup launcher and STILL KEEP 3.1U? I truely do not want to update the firmware at all unless it's absolutely neccesary. Just a simple yes you can keep it, or no, you need to update to 4.0 to fix the #002 error.
