How do I install HomeBrew for Wii and Clean Rip?

[Kosheh]

umm, uh

you might be biting off a little more than you can chew here, buddy.
don't say we didn't warn you!!

but if you're looking for a no-nonsense, so-easy-your-dad-can-do-it way of doing homebrew on the Wii, look into the Modmii Manager software (7.0 can run on OSX, so that's probably what you want). Of course, it wouldn't hurt to do a little research on it so you don't accidentally brick your system (as in, rendering it unoperable)

Modmii actually gives you a ton of options on how you'd like to hack the thing, so Letterbomb is an option, but "Smash Stack" is a pretty easy, foolproof way to load the needed exploit too.

Of course, when you get the thing up and running it gives you a really great method of loading up homebrew apps, and even lets you use your Wii as a DVD player! =)

(honestly - just softmod your Wii and have fun with it. Don't even bother using it for ripping models or whatever for the first week or so. Just have fun tinkering with the thing and seeing what kind of neat stuff you can get to run
It's SO FUN playing Mario/Sonic/Zelda romhacks with a really comfortable controller in front of your TV!!)
