</ul></li>
<li>Confirm and Save Settings</li>
<li>Press Ok to perform Connection Test</li>
<li>This does take a while, be patient because the Wii is slow</li>
<li>Go back a couple of pages to Internet Settings</li>
<li>Go to User Agreements
<ul>
<li>Would you like to use the Wii Shop Channel and WiiConnect24?</li>
<li>Select Yes</li>
<li>You must review the User Agreements before using the Wii network services.</li>
<li>Select Next</li>
<li>Connecting to Internet... Please wait a moment.</li>
<li>Another screen will appear with message to "Please wait, this will take 1-2 minutes."
<ul>
<li>Do NOT press I Accept at this point, or it will go to the previous screen.</li>
<li>These next two screens will show up, one with console text, which is the exploit, and the next look like static. This is ok</li>
<li>The next screen is a message not to be scammed by buying a copy of HackMii. Wait for the option to press '1' to continue.</li>
<li>The HackMii menu will now appear, press 'A' to continue.</li>
<li>On the HackMii installer screen, use the D-pad on the Wii to arrow up to Install The HomeBrew Channel.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>At this point the Wii can be powered off.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Install Wii Homebrew Browser <a href="https://oscwii.org/" class="uri">https://oscwii.org/</a>
<ul>
<li>I have read that a 2gb non-hd sd card was needed, but found that up to a 32gb card works just fine.</li>
<li>Remove the sd card and download and extract the zip file on the main page.</li>
<li>Move the folder on the root of the sd card (i.e. <code>apps/homebrew_browser/</code>).</li>
<li>More applications can now be accessed from the Homebrew Browser.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Adding roms (i.e. Nintendo 64 games)
<ul>
<li>From the Homebrew Browser, add the not64 emulator, as the Wii64 would not save games for me. This is an updated version of the Wii64 emulator.</li>
<li>At the root of the sd card, if it is not already there, create a not64/roms folder and place the roms in here.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Play Wii games from a USB drive
<ul>
<li>First need to install cIOS (custom OS)
<ul>
<li>Will be installing:
<ul>
<li>cIOS 249 base 56 v10 beta52, some guides say cIOS 249 base 56 beta52-alt, YMMV.</li>
<li>cIOS 250 base 57 v10 beta52</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>From the Homebrew Browser, go to the Utilities tab and install USBLoader and the d2x cIOS installer.</li>
<li>Wait for the app to load.</li>
<li>You will see the main screen, press A
<ul>
<li>Change the following:
<ul>
<li>cIOS to v10 beta 52 d2x-v10-beta52-alt</li>
<li>base to 56</li>
<li>slot to 249</li>
<li>revision to 65535</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Press A to load these values</li>
</ul></li>
<li>The app will go back to the main screen, just go right back into the app.
<ul>
<li>Change the following:
<ul>
<li>cIOS to v10 beta 52 d2x-v10-beta52</li>
<li>base to 57</li>
<li>slot to 250</li>
<li>revision to 65535</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Press A to load these values</li>
</ul></li>
<li>You are now ready to format the external USB drive
<ul>
<li>This can be either FAT32 or ext4</li>
<li>Plug in the USB drive afterwards and load the USBloader</li>
<li>It only works in one USB slot, so if this is not recognized the first time, move the plug to the other slot.</li>
<li>Now you can save games from Wii disks, or load roms from the same drive</li>
<li>Roms are placed at the root of the USB drive with the format of <emulator>/roms/</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>That's all.</li>
