I need someone to walk me through every single step from putting the info onto my SD card all the way to the end. Please just give me detailed instructions here because i have looked everywhere on the web and no one tells me how to do it before i get the hack on the SD card. I also have 3.4u version on my wii so i need to downgrade. (im not stupid i just want to get this done right.)

Go HERE and follow this guide to install the Homebrew Channel. If your not going to use the WiiGator Backup Loader then skip the end part of the guide. Just follow the Homebrew Channel section. It can't get any simpler then that.

right click on the SD Drive in my computer and choose format. Then choose the default setting which is FAT 16.

Ok i figured it out. I was not unzipping the folder, then moving the stuff from inside the 3.4 folder. i was trying to copy and paste :( but i got it to work now.

thanks for your patience
