Ok I have previously written about this before, and I thought I had a firm grasp on what I would need to do, (Japanese Wii version 3.1,and in order to do the twlight hack I would have to have a Japanese Zelda game to play because it's Japanese...) But today I found a guy on craiglist who installed the Waninkoko USB Loader 1.1 on my system as an independant channel, (So now I can back-up wii games directly to an external Hard-drive or USB stick), Now the question I have is, Now that I can back up U.S. (Region 1) games and play them on this Japanese Wii from a drive can I perform the Twlight Hack and install the Homebrew channel using this,
If So do I really need to install the Homebrew Channel, I mean is there something more I can do with that channel?
Follow the steps below to install the HBC to your system.
Backup anything you have on the SD card to your PC (So you can restore it after installing the HBC). Then format the SD Card FAT32.
Download aad1f_v108.zip from HERE and extract it to the ROOT of the SD Card (If this version does not work try using another version).
Download the hackmii_installer_beta2 from HERE and extract it to your PC. Rename the installer.elf file to boot.elf and drag it to the ROOT of the SD card.
DO NOT HAVE THE SD CARD INSERTED INTO THE WII SYSTEM AT THIS TIME!
Go to WII SETTINGS>DATA MANAGEMENT>CHANNELS>SD CARD TAB
You will get a message saying "Nothing is inserted in the SD Card slot".
At this time insert the SD card into the Wii System.
You will get a message saying "Load Boot dol/elf?" Select YES.
This will start the Hackmii installer.
Press 1 to continue at the warning screen.
Select Continue again at the page that shows what can and can not be installed.
At the main menu go up to Install Homebrew Channel.
Select YES, Continue when it ask to install the Homebrew Channel.
Thanks for the reply, That looks straight forward but I have just 1 question when you say rename the file to boot.elf then copy it to the root of the SD card, am I copying just the file I renamed or the entire folder, I know it may be a silly question but at this time I am not in frommt of the Wii or the PC. And Thanks again in advance
Ok Thanks a million, That was by far the most straight forward direction I have seen all the time I have been reading up on this, just one last thing, my system is currently at 3.1, And as long as I have had this system It has never been connected to the internet, is it ok ot connect and update to something other that 3.1. Thanks again

Use the 4.1 softmod guide in my SIG.
Then follow 1 of the links I have included at the end of the guide for USB Loading.
