I DID NOT MAKE THIS
Taken From: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_setup
If you want all of the pictures go to the site above.


What is needed

* A Wii console (it does not matter what system menu version)
* An SD card
* The HackMii installer (http://bootmii.org/download/)
* The Bannerbomb Exploit (http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/)
* A computer (PC or Macintosh)
* And SD card reader for your computer

Part 1: Formatting the SD card
Windows

1. Place your SD card into your reader;
2. Back up any data you might currently have on the SD card as this process will erase the data on the card
3. Open up "My Computer"
4. Right-click on the drive that contains the SD card and select "Format..."
5. Under "File system" make sure you select FAT (see picture to the right)
6. Click "Start" and let the process finalize
7. After the formatting is finished proceed to the next step

Mac OS

1. Back up any data you might currently have on the SD card as this process will erase the data on the card
2. Open up "Disk Utility"
3. Find your SD card in the navigation
4. Go to the "Erase" tab
5. Change the "Volume Format" to MS-DOS (FAT)
6. Click "Erase" and let the process finalize
7. After the formatting is finished proceed to the next step

Linux

1. Back up any data you might currently have on the SD card as this process will erase the data on the card
2. Open up a terminal
3. Execute the command "mkfs.vfat /dev/<location of your SD card>"
4. Caution not to reformat your hard disk. Think hard before formatting /dev/sda1, for example.
5. After the formatting is finished proceed to the next step

Part 2: Copying files to SD card

1. Download Bannerbomb and HackMii installer; if you have already done so proceed to the next step
2. Extract both Bannerbomb and HackMii installer in an easily accessible folder, such as your Desktop (see pic. 1)
3. Open up the folder called hackmii_installer_beta3 (see pic. 2)
4. Copy file boot.elfB to your SD card (see pic. 3)
5. Finally, copy the folder called private (which you extracted from the Bannerbomb archive) to your SD card. Picture 4 shows what files your SD card should contain now.

Extract the files to your Desktop


Copy boot.elf to your SD card


Copy folder private to your SD card


Your SD card should look like this in the end
Part 3: Setting up your Wii

(Please Note that "setting up wii" instructions are for bannerbomb v1, for v2 click here)

1. Do NOT insert your SD card into the console yet
2. Power on your Wii and enter the Wii Settings menu
3. Go to "Data Management" then select "Channels" and then "SD Card"
4. Insert your SD card into the slot found in the front of your Wii console
5. A window should appear "Load Boot.dol/elf?" Click "Yes"
6. If all goes well, you should see a disclaimer (pic. 4); press 1 on your Wii Remote when prompted and you are ready to proceed to the next part of this tutorial. If this does not happen, please follow the next step:
7. If you did see the disclaimer as mention at step 6 you can skip this step. If not, go back to part 2 of this tutorial, but this time download a different version of Bannerbomb

Open the settings menu


Go into Data Management and then Channels


Press SD Card


A pop-up box will appear. Click yes.
Part 4: Installing the Homebrew Channel

In this section you won't see any GUI, just a blue bordered screen with words in the middle. On the first screen what sticks out is the Green/Red print. If you have a new Wii it will say something like this:

The Homebrew Channel: Can be installed
DVDx: Can be installed
BootMii: Can only be installed as IOS
The installed boot1 version prevents a boot2 install (-2)

If you have an older Wii then all three will be in green and say Can be installed

1. Press the A button on your Wiimote
2. Here you will be presented with a menu of options for now select "Homebrew Channel"
3. Select "Install the Homebrew Channel"
4. A new selection will come up asking to "Install the Homebrew Channel now?" Select "yes, continue"
5. After installation it should say "finished" and return you to the main menu
6. Select "Install DVDx" "install DVDx now?" will show up. Select "Yes, Continue"
7. Select "BootMii" select the option that suits your Wii (If you can install as boot2 DO SO. If not install as IOS)

Running Bootmii Through HBC

If you're one of the late-comers to the Wii party you may have had to install BootMii via IOS. In that case you have to run BootMii by going into The HBC and hit the "Home" button on your Wii Remote. Place your cursor onto the "Launch BootMii" selection and press A.C
