Stupid questions will probably result in stupid answers.
Read the guide a few times, and the advise, suggestions, and experiences of others BEFORE asking for help!!!

NEVER UPDATE YOUR WII FROM NINTENDO- read the forum and do it yourself
Note: Prilloader installer gives two errors-
*This is not an issue, and is expected*

Optional priiloader settings-

You can auto-boot to any app you like.


Step* Optional- DARKCORP installation: Join the Dark Side of the wii!!!
DARKCORP enables backup disks to be loaded from the wii disk channel, without using a loader.
Newer wiis may not support DVD media, this will not fix this limitation.
Download DARKCORP_v1.1_Full.zip, extract to sd:\
Read the READ-ME first, install from HBC
Use IOS249 to Install/Upgrade Darkcorp 1.1, and Wiigator's or Waninkoko's cmios for gc-games
*DARKCORP can used in conjunction with usb loading methods*
*USB loading is faster and is the general preferred method*

Step* Possible- Reinstall HBC (if inverted)
Reinstall HBC if screen is up side down
Load HBC, Launch Hackmii Installer
Install HBC
Exit

Final Step- Clean Up SD-Card
To Prevent accidental System modification
Backup and Format the SD-CARD
ExtractClean-SD-Card.zip to sd:\
This will prevent your kids, friends, wife, and yourself from doing stupid stuff.
