Softmodding a Wii can be daunting at first, but you will soon realize it is one of the easiest consoles to install homebrew on thanks to its SD Card slot. When you softmod your Wii, you will install The Homebrew Channel, your gateway to all your homebrew apps.

Requirements

• A SD Card.
  • The card must be formatted to FAT32.
  • The SD Card is recommended to have at least 1 GB of space (Mainly for the Wii's NAND Backup we will later make).
• A computer to transfer all the files we'll prepare to the card.

Note: If, for whatever reason, you don't have access to a SD card, you will still be able to install the homebrew channel. However, you won't be able to install any homebrew apps without a SD card.

Preparation and neccesary files

The exploit that you will be using is named "Letterbomb". We first need to get the Wii's MAC adress and version. This is so letterbomb can sign the correct file. The MAC Adress can be found under Settings > Internet > Console Information and your Wiis version on the top right corner.

Note: If your Wii's version is NOT 4.3, first update your console, then continue softmodding.

Now, go to the Letterbomb website and input your Wii's MAC Adress/Version. Make sure "Bundle the HackMii Installer for me" is checked, then click "Cut the blue/red wire". No matter which one you choose you will be prompted to download the exploit. Place the unpacked files in the SD Card's root. We're now ready to jump to the actual Wii.
