Well, there are three guides for different Wii System Firmwares, 3.1-4.1, 4.2 & 4.3. I need to know what your system firmware is before I can give you a guide. You can check by going into the Wii's "Settings" Menu, & 2 numbers & a letter will be displayed at the top-right hand corner of the screen.

Here are several good tutorials for installing Homebrew, including 4.3. Some also discuss many other hacks such as installing USB Loader. To me, USB loader is the real reason why you should hack your Wii in the first place; that and Priiloader for brick protection.

WiiBrew link

WiiHacks link

GAF's Wii Homebrew Tutorial link

There are also many videos on YouTube.

Whatever you do, DO NOT be sucked into anything you have to pay for. No matter where you see an advertisement!

Hope you find these useful.

No you don't have to update, the guide I mentioned (3.1-4.1) applies to all system firmware versions between 3.1 & 4.1.

Here is the guide: http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs...od-any-wii.html
