I am now with Wii. Got to check it's working as it's been sat in the mother in laws garage for the last 10 months!! I also cannot believe that I do not have a SD card handy... Anyone want to PM me to offer assistance in modding this bad boy?

4.3 is the newest and is fine. It doesn't matter really - some people still use 4.1.
First thing to do is to just install the Homebrew Channel using the one of the many exploits, such as the Letterbomb exploit. From there, you can install the Gecko OS loader as a homebrew app for region free.
You can actually then mod the system menu so that it is region free right from the system menu without having to use the loader. Use an application called StartPatch for this, though obviously the risks are slightly higher. One step at a time!
Can't link, but most resources are on WiiBrew, so Google for 'WiiBrew StartPatch' or something.
Use RetroArch 1.0.0.1 for emulation goodness, by the way. It's an all-in-one emulator with many speed optimisations. The only Snes emulator that plays all SuperFX2 games at full speed with no frameskip, for example.Last edited by sj33; 22-01-2014, 10:24.

It is a good idea to install BootMii so that it loads before the system menu (Boot2 if you can) and make a backup of your NAND which should make your Wii near brick-proof.
Some newer Wii models are patched to prevent this though so your may not be compatible.

Priiloader is another nice one that does a similar thing. One other cool thing about BootMii and Priiloader is that you can load into the Homebrew Channel from there, avoiding the need to dig out a Wii Remote if all you want to play is GameCube/Homebrew/Wii games that can use GameCube controller.
