NOTICE: I just updated the instructable, if there are any errors, tell me. I will be editing my instructables for the next week or so. The first version of this instructable was extremely outdated and the DVDs were really annoying. In this version, you will be loading ISOs from you SD Card, USB Stick, or USB HDD. - I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR WII OR WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO WITH IT.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO YOUR CONSOLE OR ACCESSORIES Ace - If your gonna add to the instructable please use proper capitalization, grammar, line spacing, etc. Each step has an outline of what needs to be written there.

The outline can be erased once you finish writing that step What you Need: Separate SD Card -or- USB Stick -or- USB HDD Homebrew Enabled Wii (go to enable it for homebrew) Computer with SD Card Reader. ** Please note that you will probably not need a 4.7 gigabyte storage device to hold one game. This may come as a shock to those of you who have messed around with ISOs for awhile, but a game like Wii Play is only 0.09 gigabytes.

No I didn't mess up the decimal. The extra stuff that makes the ISO 4.7 gigabytes is sheared off and you get a cISO, or a compressed ISO. Wii Sports is only 0.3 gigabytes. Other games with more textures and story play are bigger, like Metroid Prime 3, which is 4.1 gigs. Supersmash Brothers Brawl is 6.4 gigabytes because the disc is dual layered. If you use a WBFS manager to copy over your ISOs you will see an 'estimated size'. I saw this size and almost fainted lol.

My prediction of 25 games for 80 gigabytes of space shot up to 50+. I'm telling you this so you dont go overboard shopping for a 32 gigabyte flashdrive. If you have one of the older ipods with alot of free space, say about 10 gigabytes (you can do this with less, but i like 10 gigs), you could partition it off and store the cISO wii games on the Ipod itself! I will discuss this further in step 5. ** Step 2: Preparing the SD Card. Download ---1a.

Unzip CoverFloader-v1.2.zip ---1b. Copy the CoverFloader folder into the SD://apps/ folder 2. Download ---2a. Unzip It ---2b. Copy the Cios Rev 14 folder into the SD://apps/ folder 3.

Download ---3a. Unzip It ---3b. Rename WAD-Manager_v1.4.dol to boot.dol ---3c. Make a folder in the apps folder on your SD card called WADManager ---3d. Copy boot.dol to this WADManager folder 4.

If you Have no internet Connection on your wii, download ---4a. Copy IOS38-64-v3610. Game Lifesavers Pool here. wad to the root of your SD card Step 3: Installing CIOS36 Rev 10. Open up your homebrew channel and launch the cIOS36 rev 14 installer. You press A to accept the agreement and then use left and right to choose your installation method. I would reccomend Network, but there are the inevitable few who do not have their wii hooked up to wireless internet.

You will need to get the IOS38-64-v3610 wad from the download link in step 2 and it should already be in the root of the sd card. Select wad installation if you have no internet access. Once the program is finished, restart the wii. This is optional if you are using the CoverFloader1.2-Forwarder.wad file, but it is still recommended. If you are using the CoverFloader1.2.wad this is absolutely necessary. Open up the Homebrew Channels and select the WADManager/boot.dol application. Accept the Agreement 3.

Select 'SD Card' as Storage Device 4. Hit plus (+) on the wiimote next to the proper CoverFloader WAD File 5. Select Install ---5a. It will install and send you back to the same screen 6.

Hit Home (House Picture) on your wiimote to restart the wii Step 5: Preparing ISO Storage Device. Guide to format things to WBFS: Option 1: on Wii Use this option if you do not have any other data you wish to keep on the drive, as it will all be erased. Put the usb drive in one of the 2 usb slots in the back of the wii and launch cover floader from either the forwarder channel or the homebrew channel.

It will say no WBFS drive found, press 2, I think, to format. You want to format. You can now move on to the next step to figure out how to add games to the wbfs drive. Option 2: on computer Use this option if you want to partition, or divide, the hard drive into 2 or more sections. I will be using a flashdrive as in example.

**ONLY FOR WINDOWS VISTA AND WINDOWS 7** 1. Download (and Install) 2. Plug your flash drive into your computer. Click the start circle in the lower right corner of your screen. Right click on computer and press manage. Click 'Continue'.

Over on the left click Disk Managment. You will see a number of disks.

Look for one with an amount of space that matches your flashdrive. Right click to the right of it where the blue bar is and press shrink volume. Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB. 1024 would be one gigabyte, 2048 being 2 and so on. Click 'Shrink'. You should get either unallocated or raw space.
