OK, my fears are keeping me from taking the plunge, so i thought I'd post my thoughts and see if anyone has some encouragement (or discouragement) for me.
I have an LU62 series Wii running 4.2u. I got it for my kids in 12/2008. It's unmodded to this point.
Mostly, I want the softmod to be able to backup games to a USB HDD and run them from there.
I've formatted a 2GB SD card to FAT32 and unzipped the folder "Step 1 for 4.2" to it. When I insert it into my Wii and click on the SD icon, everything appears to be going as described in the tutorial. I'm getting an onscreen prompt to "Run the Boot.dol/elf?" Y/N.
Here's where I freeze.
If I run into problems during this process... any of the process... can I revert back to the unmodded state without much difficulty? I know if all goes well, I can back up my nand afterward, but I'm worried about a mid-stream catastrophy.
Thanks for your input!
