Softmii'd

Woot! I have officially softmii'd my wii! It took about 6 hours to finish and get everything up and running, but it's working great now. What does Softmii'ing your wii do? Simple: it modifies (without any hardware mods or chips) the wii so that the official homebrew channel is created giving you loads of options (that I'll let you discover) to install/operate with the wii that could never have been done before (example; music player). If anyone is interested here are some links to get you started. This does require some technical savvy though as about 3.5 of my spent hours were me figuring what to do on my own. The guide helps with most of the major work, but inevitably people will run into their own special glitches, ha.

Here's the guide. Follow and read it carefully. (Link)
Here's a site that helped with the installation of non-HB Channel stuff. (Link)

Comment with any questions and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction if any problems arise.

Note: My wii is currently v4.1U (NTSC-U) and I have a successful installation of Softmii. You shouldn't have to worry about downgrading.
