Well I have softmodded about 10 Wiis and can help you out for sure. I recently walked someone step by step though the process with no issues. I also recently sold a softmodded Wii loaded up with games on a USB drive to a member on NA who was very satisfied. Hit me up if you want/need help. I will say that of all the modding I have done (Sega Saturn, PS2, DS, PSP, etc.) the Wii is one of the easiest.
