in order to play backup games. However, I tried a lot of loaders (like GeckoOS, Softmod, NeoGamma, backuplauncher 0.3...), but nothing worked. Some don't take my DVDs (Verbatim DVD-R; SSBM for GC and New SM Bros Wii), and some make the Wii just freeze.
Since yesterday, I'm running through all the guides I can find, and it's burning my brain. Is it bad that I got rev16? Here and there I read that rev14 is recommended, can I simply install that one if some guide tells me to?
Also, I tried to use a backup-Launcher which wants me to install Custom IOS rev7 (not another IOS!?). Would this be a downgrade or can I install it safely?
I tried to install bootmii, but it gave an error and I ignored it. So I'm afraid of doing too many changes to my Wii, especially downgrading, because of the possibility of bricking.
In any case:
I have a PAL-Wii, before Oct09, FW 3.0E, installed HBC via bannerbomb, but I don't have internet connection with it yet (I need to buy that LAN adapter, or I need to replug my house's internet.. -.-)
Oh, btw, since I installed the Homebrew-Channel I didn't unplug my GC-controller. Is that bad?
-.- Except for the HBC I've had no success at all. Any custom installed channels reset my Wii, should I just follow this guide to the letter and hope I won't brick it if I start over again?
