When the game loads, you will be in Barnett College. Walk to the Art Room (through the Courtyard), approach the left character on the podium. When it zooms on him, choose the switch to option (two silhouettes, staggered, with an arrow pointing between them).

-Hackmii Installer Loads as so

Option 2- Smash Stack - Works with 4.3u, Virgin Friendly

-Insert SD-CARD, Go to stage builder
-HackMii Installer loads

If you have boot2 bootmii installed
Extract bootmii folder-PAL.rar or bootmii_folder-NTSC.zip to sd:\
Boot the wii, bootmii loads
Go To the bootmii SD menu
Load bootmini.elf
Hackmii Installer loads (maybe)

Option 4- Installed Forwarder Channel- 4.3u/e/j/k, No Virgins allowed
If you have a forwarder installed, say for neogamma, or mplayer, or other
Replace the sd:\apps\(forwarder app dir)\boot.dol with the boot.elf from the 4.3-Mod-Pack dl
Launch the forwarder Channel
Hackmii Installer loads (maybe)

Other options
Virgin 4.3j/k = None Your SOL, sorry

Step 2- Install HBC, Bootmii

Power = Right, Eject = Left, Reset = Select
Backup your Bootmii files to your PC
sd:\bootmii
sd:\nand.bin
sd:\key.bin

Exit to HBC (if you reboot prior to step 5, HBC will be removed)

Format your SD Card

Hold reset and boot wii to load priiloader if needed
Select Hacks- Press A
Enable "Block Disk Updates", and "Block Online Updates", others if you like
If you don't know what the hack does- you don't need it.
Your wii should now block Disk update and online update.
Outdated Channels will ask for updates
NEVER UPDATE YOUR WII FROM NINTENDO- read the forum and do it yourself
Note: Prilloader installer gives two errors-
/loader.ini couldn't delete error -106
/password.txt couldn't delete error -106
*This is not an issue, and is expected*

Optional priiloader settings-
Autoboot to HBC- Click settings, set auto-boot and return to HBC. Your wii now boots to HBC.
Autoboot to USBloader-GX- click load/install, install usbloader-gx.dol, goto settings, set autoboot/return to installed file. Your boots into usbloader-gx. This is great for kids.
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:\

Enjoy!!

The method In this post is a new (compared to the grueling original 4.3 hack from a few weeks ago) this is much more noob friendly,..and should make the process much easier for anyone to do. I am working with another member to use this method with Indiana jones as I write this,...we will reply with the results....

[chrisryan131]

Hi, im the member that brikd is reffering to and i used the indiana jones method, Im telling you right now this process is too easy. Im a complete noob when it comes to modding anything, i mean i decided to mod just today, and i went out bought a copy of the game and a SD card, by the end of the day i have a modded wii with some help from brikd ofcourse. I advise anyone interested in modding there wii to try the indiana jones method.

P.S also ask brikd for help lol he is a G

To brikD - I've just landed here while trying to learn what to do with my system (a tough one - recent purchase with 4.3U and the new DVD drive too). I'm waiting for my IndyJones copy to arrive in the mail, so if you and chris (chrisryan131) can post something when you get his IJones setup done, I'll be at least one person who will be very happy to read it and work from your example. The "original goal" that brought me here was to figure out how to back up my new game discs and run my games from the backups, but it looks like that's going to be tricky even once I get the HBC working, so I'm just going to take it one step at a time. First the soft mod setup, then I'll see what can be done about the drive problem. So thanks in advance for anything you can add to this thread to guide me through the IJones method.

[brikD]

I will post a short video of the indiana jones method as soon as I finish it (15 minutes), you will also need to read over THIS THREAD and the links to the original tutorial post (offsite)

[brikD]

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR INDIANA JONES METHOD
Play the first level to the end, then select go to college, you can then create the save, exit the game, Go to wii settings, data management, save games, wii
delete the Lego Indiana Jones save game, then copy "Indiana PWNS" for your region (U=US,etc) to your sd card, restart the game and get to the "load game" screen, the video will show up to step 2 in the tutorial , that will guide you through the rest

NOTE: the last bit of the video will be different for first time modders, after pressing A on the indiana PWNS , HACKMii installer will load,... (not your mod manager)


man it's hard holding a vidphone and using a controller at the same timelol

[Dmoney13]

Thanks for that info BrikD it seems that this method after installing Bootmii v0.5 on the wii and maybe the black wii :) will eventually work with that sepefic firmware and i would like to thank myself for posting this thread in the first place lolz but anyways thanks for that BrikD.

Wow that's Great! I don't have this problem, but some friends of mine have their wii up to date, and i couldn't hack those! This way is perfect!
