...?
No, and I'm serious, you're not supposed to "learn all of those terms".
It's just badly written, it's not even about the terms.
It's about nothing being explained with real English.
I know it looks fine to you, but it's just very unreadable.
I normal tutorial would be something like this:
"Create a Zelda gamesave and overwrite it with the downloaded save.
Place the WADA in the blah blah blah and start the game....
In case your firmware is blah blah blah follow the next steps...
Press the button A in the remote control blah blah...
After you've finished install the WiiGator by..."
Or I don't know what. That's the best I've understood from it.
And what the hell is "press ACCEPT"? Again, a dyslectic language (it was in the video in the tutorial you've linked to).
I don't see a button called "ACCEPT", and that installation window was made from no menus. If they wanted you to press something like "A", it's again a distortion of the reality.

I think your the one that is dyslexiac.
No one else has an issue understanding the guide or the on screen menu when running the aplications.

That's funny, because as far as I know, it's "Dyslectic"/"Dyslexic".
I've never heard of a word called "Dyslexiac".
You just can't get it, but it doesn't explain anything in a way that someone who didn't do that already would understand.
I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't be that hard, but if you don't know English in a tutorial-writing level, someone else should write it.
I think that you are the one which's dyslectic.

Maybe I didn't spell it properly but your the one that is looking like an ass.
No one is forcing you to use the guide.
Maybe someone will come along and create a guide with stick figures to better suit your grade level of comprehension.

LOL, is this guy serious? I learned how to do the zelda hack to install the homebrew channel on my wii simply by reading all of the threads of information that is already available on this site. I didn't have to ask one single question and I learned it. It seems as though this guy just wants someone to baby him through the entire thing and also explain to him why a used copy of this game costs so much. If you would like to know why this game still sells high, perhaps go ask the place selling it for that price. I found a copy on Amazon USED for 42 dollars shipped, which is still pretty high but it's around the going rate for this game used. Do some research without creating a thread asking everyone to hand you all the information that you can already obtain yourself simply by hitting the search button.

BTW, it's "who's" dysletic (sic)
This just confirms that you're apparently the one with the English language comprehension problem.

Oh yea and ADWS, as for your silly reference to the "Press ACCEPT", perhaps if you read some more or actually got as far as running the hack you'd know it states at the beginning of installation the + button on your remote represents ACCEPT. Actually it could the 2 button as well, i'm not sure without looking at the guide I printed out myself so I wouldn't have to start threads like yourself asking stupid questions. The homebrew installation guides make all the sense in the world, that is to a person of average intelligence.

So I wrote "which's", but at least my sentences sound like English, not "you the one dyslexiac".
If it was written correctly I could've simply read it and understand by myself, but it's just very unclear and barely makes any sense.
If it was simple to you, it's probably because you speak like an immigrant as well.
I know nothing about the Wii, and making it so scrambled doesn't make it easier.
I don't think that simply writing: "Put the files in the formatted memory card and transfer them to Wii's storage by pressing on..."
"Overwrite the save by...
Start the game and load this save-file...
Complete the installation by pressing on +..."
"Now your Wii's state is..."
"To load backupped discs you'll need to install the WiiGator this way..."
Not: "Put memory stick press folder xxx run game put wiigator and you have to downgrade blah blah blah..."

Wow, so you're argumentative, unable to follow guides, and now racist or at the very least offensive to racial types other than your own ?. If you wish to stay here, quit with the sniping and whining, and most of all ditch the derogatory and unnecesary racial comments.

Haven't really read the thread , but one thing I didn't kniow (as a non-programmer type) was that you needed to rename the programm .dol to boot.dol and put it into the root directory.I read this in a french tutorial and then everything worked . Perhaps that could be clearer.

"Racist"? I've simply said that his English suck, like someone who's knowledge of its existence only came up a month ago.
I'm not from the USA or any other English speaking country, but I still know how to properly use it.
When someone writes a tutorial that is less understandable than a 5 year old's attempt to declaim a whole Shakespeare play (that's the only thing I've managed to think of that would sound so bad), you can't really expect someone who doesn't speak that "new language" to understand it.
As far as I can understand, this tutorial is basically just made of several actions, but it's simply unclear. I can't understand it.
New terms and words just pop up out of nowhere. It doesn't use any continuity. Where's the context? And syntax?

Has it not occurred to you that if you asked the author and other regulars nicely, instead of constantly bitching and whining about every little word and sentence, you may have been up and running by now. I for one have no clue what any of this is about as i don't even own a Wii. However if i did own one i have no doubt that i would have very little difficulty following any of the guides/long running threads on such matters. If i was to come across something i didn't quite understand, i'd ask (nicely) and do lots of research myself such that i'd end up being able to do whatever it was i was trying to do.

He is speaking of my guide he linked to. Which all files are named properly including the boot.dol file in the root of the SD Card which runs the HBC installer.

"bitching and whining"?
The one who's "bitching" is you, just breaking into the thread without even knowing what it's about.
That author did reply in here if you didn't see that, but he simply used his same manners and unclarity, nothing helpful by now.

It's called moderating, which is something that should be unnecessary if people would get along without all the fuss. Let's get the thread back on track or it gets closed and you go elsewhere for help. Simple really.

You are lucky that someone has written a tutorial at all. The people on here are computer geeks/programmers (no offense) . They couldn't care less ,if they write well. It doesn't take long to learn their technical language. It is, of course more a bit more difficult ,if English is not your native tongue.
What is your native language? Are there perhaps any online guides in your own language?

LOL, I guess the guy that wrote the tutorial is one super intelligent 5 year old then, seeing as how you're the only person who doesn't understand it. Oh wait, all the people who do understand probably took the time and effort to READ. Go read some threads regarding the whole wii modding process and then if you're even 1% as smart as the person who wrote this guide, you just might get it.

I know that you're not in the IQ range of understanding it, but it's simply unreadable when it's written that unclearly and not divided into simple paragraphs/sections.
And no, English is not my native language - and the one I've learned is not the one this tutorial uses (and I don't think that I'll find tutorials in my language, but I'd prefer English anyway).
And yeah, I've already understood that they're most likely computer/video game geeks, because it seems extremely obvious for them that, for example, if they'll tell you "move link" - you should obviously understand that as EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE EARTH KNOWS THAT "LINK" IS A NINTENDO CHARACTER.

LOL, yes you're right, no one but you has the IQ range of understanding it and you're also right about the guide being unreadable. I suggest you search and search until you find a guide that is readable and we will all keep using the unreadable guides and successfully soft modding our Wiis. But you are 100% correct, that guide is not good enough for you. You definitely should not use it, you should find a better one that is 100% written just for you and uses terms you can understand. After all, why make a guide that thousands can use correctly, and one person cannot. All guides should be written with you in mind when they are made. As a matter of a fact, anyone reading this post, make sure before you write a guide you send it to ADWS and get his approval before posting any guides.

Finally, I logical comment.
That's right, why would you make a tutorial that only a 1,000 aliens can understand when there's a universal language that hundreds of millions use?
Ok that's pretty boring, I have another question -
What is a "WAD"? As far as I've understood, it's either the files that contain the emulators which you need to install with something that's called a "WAD installer"... Or that it's a converted game ROMs that you can play with the emulators? Maybe both things?

"A wad is a bundled channel. It could contain any form of channel, be it a virtual console title, internet channel, homebrew channel, exc.
A wad is installed via the wad manager, run in the homebrew channel or through the twilight hack. " (Penguin98 in a afterdawn thread)

OK, I have another question regarding the Wii, but it's not about hombebrew (but someone might know that):
My Wii was bought in the USA, so it's an NTSC Wii.
My region uses a PAL format. The Wii still work because the TV is multisystem, but NTSC has a lower quality than PAL, and currently it uses the 480i (interlaced) format.
From what I've seen in Wikipedia, only the NTSC version has the 480 interlaced resolution, and that the PAL one uses by deafult, I guess, the 480p (progressive, which looks better and has less "scanlines") resolution.
I've checked and to play with the 480p one on my NTSC Wii, I need to use the component cables (it comes with "composite").
The TV I'm using the Wii with is a "regular TV" (I think, I only know that it's not an HDTV), and I was told (but I don't know if it's true) that the component cables won't work with it as they can only connect into LCD/Plasmas? (or maybe simply HDTVs)
Is this true? Because that sounds very strange to me, as the PAL version doesn't even use the 480i resolution, so if it's supposed to work by default with a progressive output on regular TVs, I won't be able to get the 480p one with my NTSC Wii if I won't use a HDTV?
Can someone confirm that?
*I don't know what all those "channel" terms are supposed to be.
Literally, when I want to put an emulator on my Wii, it's a "channel" installed from a WAD file?

You truly are hopeless, there is this wonderful feature called SEARCH. Hit search, then read, and you will find all the information you are looking for. No ones going to hand you everything you want, so get off your lazy ass, search, and learn what you need.
