SoftMod 4.2 and Lower!
Play BackUps (Disc + USB)
Neogamma 7 and
Configurable USB Loader v50c
Included!
!!WARNING!!
-------
Use this software at your own risk. IPTorrent, the uploader and the developers take no responsibility if you damage your Wii.
This Will work on all Wii firmware versions 4.2.
This is for those who have not soft-modded their Wii's or for those that updated through Nintendo from a previous firmware.
This has not been tried on Korean Wii's, use at own risk.
There are some new Wii DVD drives that will not read copied DVD's at all, you can't tell by a serial number either, you can however install and use a USB
HDD instead of burning games.
The Tools You Need!:
Download:
-------
Insert SD card into Card Reader on your PC.
Backup your SD Card if you want to keep the data on it.

After a few seconds you will be loaded into the Wad Manager.

One Last Thing!:
-------------
I use the Wii BackUp Manager v0.3.4r4 to handle all my USB/WBFS/cISO and .wbfs file transfers!
Convert your ISO/cISO's into .wbfs files so they can be "cut and paste" from your PC to your "WBFS-USB" drive freely in FAT fromat.
