Ok this will probably take you longer than the original 4.2 Easy Hack that was posted... But what I have done is take screenshots of every single stage so its like seeing someone else do it before you attempt it yourself...

I will probably do a simple text version later but the purpose of this guide was to include pictures so it was as clear as possible to understand what you need to do to get the hack working.

***IMPORTANT UPDATE***
It may no longer be safe to update wii software to 4.2e using online method as there is a new version. If you wish to use this guide to update to 4.2e please use an offline method.

Nice work m8. I would say that took a while.:Clap::Clap:
 
Just had a butchers at your guide mate i think it brilliant that you took so much time even an idiot like me could follow.
My only worry is i cant remember installing this trucha patch when i did mine but all works fine so i must have done.
Must be getting to old.

Well done mate great work.
 
Took me virtually a whole day... just over 7 hours... but I think the photos will really help anyone who thought they could never mod a wii themself! Had to do a optimised version to upload to DW due to file size but if you want download the HQ version from rapidshare, the pictures are much clearer...

I have read it over 3 times and think its pretty much perfect but I have been at it all day so if anyone does notice any errors please let me know so I can fix straight away.
 
Nice Guide,

Only thing I can think of is it worth adding how to backup the nand or recommend it?

Could be but I dont know myself to be honest! lol all I know is how I installed the EASY 4.2E... I havent backed anything up but I think thats why boot2 is there just incase something gets bricked?

Only thing that would be a nice addition is to add a guide for the usb loaders as most ppl seem to be going down that road.
Got a feeling this will be downloaded a few times!
 
cant seem to be able to download files of rapidshare error is there anyone on here could pm please
 
Nice work mate... cant believe you did that with so much detail...

Rep added :)

Top man!

Would probably have to be an addtional guide has I havent got that far myself... Thats what I will be doing next hopefully, adding 500gb USB hdd and installing Wii Flow!

I went for the gx loader which didnt seem to hard.Did see some stuff from another forum of all the results for compatible drives and pros and cons for all the different loaders.
I think that would be a good addition to the Wii section if it can be uploaded and is allowed.
 
thanks for this, im going to try it later on.

Yeah its installed to boot2 so you can load it up in case of problems and use your nand backup.

It is just a case of loading to bootmii then clicking backup nand. making sure you have about 600mb spare on SD card
heres a good youtube vid i just found

quick question page 43 -44 That’s pretty much it! We have almost finished... Next job is to try loading a game by opening Neo Gamma R7


Once it’s loaded you just need to press start and then Launch Game on DVD...


how did neo gamma get into wii menu?

and should nand back up be done before anything else?

i would backup after finishing the install of bootmii before putting the folder 2 on the SD so page 18. exit bootmii install then load back into bootmii and backup

page 37 neogamma wad is loaded in wad manager
