USB Loading for Dummies

[JOE!]

Didn't know where else to post, so this seemed like the best place, but my Wii simply will not read the Brawl disc anymore even after cleaning the laser. Is there anybody here who can either direct me to an easy tutorial/what I need to USB load, or even better just give me a run-down here?

Thanks!

I don't really have experience in this, but I think I'll be able to help you out since I plan to do the same thing to my Wii once I have everything I need in place.

Here's the site which contains guides and other things related to Config USB Loader.
WBFS Manager, which you'll need in order to be able to convert ISO's to the necessary format to be playable on the Wii through USB Loader.
You'll need an SD card to launch Homebrew and such, which I'm sure you already have.
You'll need an external source like a hard drive or large USB formatted to NTFS(can play both ISO and .wbfs files) or FAT(can play ISO's under 4GB and .wbfs). I plan on getting this, it's not too pricy and the amount of space you get for that amount is incredible.

That's pretty much all I can say so far, if I have anything to add I'll edit this post. Hope I helped ya fellow Bostonian.

Hackless method is just so hard to give up lol I'm only doing this because I bricked my first Wii and right now I don't have a Brawl disc and have like 20 ISO's laying around on my computer
