Great tutorial, but total Wii noob here, so I have questions. My friend is giving me his Wii in a couple days and I want to do homebrew and the backup loader as explained in this tutorial.

I'm pretty sure his Wii is already 4.0 so I was planning on using the hackmii/bannerbomb to install the HBC cause it seems easy and I hear it works great.

I'm confused about step 5 on your tutorial and I really don't want to brick the console, so can you explain accessing the system menu and holding reset a little bit better? Like do you hold the reset button, then click on the system menu to not brick the console and wipe the menu? And to access the console when you need to reinstall preloader after the initial preloader install, you just turn on the console while holding reset? Those are the only things I am really worried about. Everything else is pretty straight forward.

Also is there anything that the 4.0 firmware (even the patched one) blocks from homebrew?

Thanks so much for any help!
