How to softmod LU64+ Wii homebrew/backup step by step

[Admin]

I do not take responsibility for anything that happens to your Wii...you are hacking it at your own risk. Don't blame me if you don't follow the guide & it bricks...I'll tell you how to fix it, but I'm not gonna be legally responsible for anything you do to your own property.

This guide will show you exactly how to install Bannerbomb and all other necessary files to your LU64+ Wii so you can play even the newest games in backup format. This means you will be able to play Wii games on burnable disks, USB drives, and even SD cards.

If you have a LU64+ Wii DON'T EVER INSTALL cIOSCORP installer!!!!DON'T EVER DOWNGRADE!!!! You will brick your console!!!!!!


Ok, so let's get started softmodding.....

You will need:
Sd card
Wii
These files:

Bannerbomb:

1. Start by formatting your sd card. Pop it in your computer, and navigate to "My Computer" right click its icon, and select "format." Check quick format, select a fat32 filesystem, and click the format button.

2. Extract part 2 of 2 to the SD card.

3. In part 1 of 2, you'll notice there are 4 different archives. This is because different Wiis use different installers, and there's no way to tell which you'll need. Trial and error works, and your Wii won't be harmed by installing the wrong one.

4. Start by extracting the first one to the SD card.

Your SD card should now look like this:


5. Ok, your SD card is all set up. Pop it out of your PC, and into the front slot on your Wii.

Ok, now it's time to install bannerbomb and the homebrew channel.

6. If you Wii's not powered on, please do so...now navigate to the Wii options menu in the bottom left of your screen....click Data Management....click Channels....Click the Sd Card tab.

You should now be at the screen that shows all the Wii channels stored to your SD card.

7. A message should automatically pop up asking if you'd like to load the boot.elf File....click ok.



If this message does not show up and/or your Wii freezes, no big deal...that's normal there's only one way to find out which to use for your Wii...traial & error :). It won't hurt your Wii to try the wrong one. Just extract the next file in "softmod 1 of 2" to your SD card, and keep trying until you get the one that works for you.

8. After Bannerbomb is completed, please confirm it has installed by scrolling through the channels on your Wii menu...you should see this one in the list:



If you do, that's great!!! Move to the next step...if not, try again :)

9. Go to Homebrew channel and run Trucha Bug Restorer, load IOS36, press 1, read the warnings then select 'downgrade IOS15', select to load IOS from SD card then let it do its job.

10. Run Trucha Bug Restorer again this time load IOS15 on first screen, select the IOS36 menu & install patched (select 'yes' on all 3 patches) IOS36 to slot 36, again using IOS from SD card.

11. Run Trucha Bug Restorer again, load IOS36 and this time select restore IOS15.

12. Run cIOS38r14 installer select IOS36 as the one it should use and then select wad install.

13. Now open homebrew channel. You will notice an icon titled "preloader" you want to run this next. It sometimes takes a few seconds to respond, so let it sit & loadat the black warning screen for 5-10 seconds, then click the "1" button on your Wii remote. After it has installed it will automatically restart the Wii.
