What is your current Wii version?Can i do it with a USB thumbstick or will i need to get a external HD for it.
also is there any way i can transfer the system update onto the wii i dont have any way to access internet on it currently
i guess i could bring it to someones house and update itThat complicates things a bit, don't you have a friend or someone you could connect the Wii to the internet and update it?
You can still hack it, however the latest Wii version is the safest one, not to mention you get full compatibility with any wii game.
Don't worry, it only takes you a few minutes to update the Wii, after that you can softmod with safety then play any game you want (although you should buy them as well)i guess i could bring it to someones house and update it
so once i get it updated and get the SD card and whatnot i just have to run letterbomb from the sd card and thats the whole process?Don't worry, it only takes you a few minutes to update the Wii, after that you can softmod with safety then play any game you want (although you should buy them as well)
Yes, you need at least a 2GB SD card and a SD card reader so you can copy stuff from the computer to the SD card.so once i get it updated and get the SD card and whatnot i just have to run letterbomb from the sd card and thats the whole process?

ok thanks for all the help, ill pm you once i have the SD card and system updatedYes, you need at least a 2GB SD card and a SD card reader so you can copy stuff from the computer to the SD card.
First worry about updating the Wii to the latest version, then you can start softmodding, if you need more help about softmodding pm me.
Isn't it better to install the official update first THEN safely update to Letterbomb? Besides maybe she doesn't understand anything about IOS updating and that can lead to full bricking.But you really don't HAVE to run the system update to softmod; there are always older exploits (Twilight Hack, Bannerbomb) that will work for 3.2. Once you have the HBC installed you can manually install the one part of the system update that you ACTUALLY need.
True.Isn't it better to install the official update first THEN safely update to Letterbomb? Besides maybe she doesn't understand anything about IOS updating and that can lead to full bricking.
