to play backups from a usb, it can be as simple as,
stick in sd card, push button,
install custom channel,
install custom ios (its like modified drivers)
plug in hard drive.
i’m pretty sure that no one has ever bricked their wii from just, installing the hbc. although, turning of the wii during ios installation, can brick you.
the service warning is just so if something goes wrong, like a power outage, or stupidness, they cant be held responsible.
BUT! if you install bootmii, then you can dump an image of the wii’s flash memory, so if stupidness does occur, you can simply, roll back from the image.
the benefits of homebrew are immense.
custom themes, custom channels, homebrew games and apps, watching dvds, i dont know what your going on about!

Awesome.

Next weekend it looks like i’ll be picking up a 500gb HDD and getting to work on this mod.

All for legitimate purposes, of course ;).

Messing around with unofficial firmware voids your warranty.

I’m sorry?

Stop being so overreactive. It’s a perfectly safe SoftMod. All it requires in terms of “extra hardware” is a USB cable and an SD card, and the softmod is completely reversible, and does not modify your console’s hardware in any way, which means it does not void your warranty. Just follow the instructions on the linked website to the letter and you will be backing up your games to your hard drive within an hour. (DO NOT USE THIS FOR ILLEGAL BACKUPS PEOPLE! This is just like the Xbox 360 game loading, it just improves load times, etc!)
