    If you dont want to download all the single files get this:
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UE53ZYAS
    Just insert the content to the root of your SD and ignor the following links!

    First of all patch your Wii to the firmware 3.4! Then you need the game The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and the Savegame from here:
    http://www.wii-homebrew.com/download?task=finish&cid=280&catid=11&m=0
    Copy the complete content of the Folder on a SD-Card
    Then download the Homebrew-Channel
    http://hbc.hackmii.com/get.php?file=the_homebrew_channel-1.0.1.tar.gz&key=a6c3ac9fb5c02a6a96c9bffd121836ab290d80da
    If you cant open the .gz-file download IZ-Arc!
    Now copy the boot.dol file from the folder the_homebrew_channel-1.0.1 to the root of your SD-Card and create a folder named apps in the root of the SD-card. Then took it into your Wii. In the Wii-menu go to Wii-Options on the left bottom and then click on the left Icon (Data or whatever it is on english firmware)/savegames/wii and copy the savegame which fits to your Wii (EU or USA) on your Wii. Go back to the menu (not press the home-key or reset/shutdown the Wii, it will delete the copied savegame) and start Twilight Princess. Load the game with the many hearts and talk to the guy infront of you. A black screen should pop up with white text. Accept the Agreements and after all is ready you have the homebrew-Channel in your Wii menu. First step is done!

    Now download these:
    http://www.wii-homebrew.com/downloads/multimedia/dvdx-fw-3.4/download.html
    http://www.wii-homebrew.com/download?task=finish&cid=32&catid=11&m=0
    Remove all the crap from step one on your SD and copy the files from this 2 folders on the Card (you renember the folder apps you should create before^^) took the Card into your Wii again and start the Homebrew-Channel Chose cIOS Installer from the menu and a installer will start. Press A to agree and then chose WAD installation on the next page. Let the installer reboot your Wii, go to the Homebrew-channel again and now install DVDX. Now your Wii is able to read burned DVDs but you cant launch them right now.

    This are the last files you have to download for your Wii:
    http://www.wii-homebrew.com/download?task=finish&cid=218&catid=17&m=0
    http://www.wii-homebrew.com/download?task=finish&cid=19&catid=3&m=0
    Handle the Wad Manager as cIOS and DVDX (copy it into the apps folder) and create a new folder called wad on the root of your Card and extract the WiiGator.3_channel.wad into it.
    Start the Wad-Manager via the Homebrew-Channel and install The Backup Launcher Channel.

    The following downloads arent included in the SD-Card.zip file!

    You can update your Wii now to the newest firmware (4.0)
    After doing this you have to download this:
    http://www.wii-homebrew.com/downloads/firmware-und-hacks/cios-installer/download-2.html
    Install it with the homebrewchannel and the Backup Launcher Channel works again

    Now on how to get the Games to a DVD:
    First of all you need a ISO! Download a Game from here wii-reloaded.ath.cx (without www.!!!) or rip your own ISO from a original game (I will explain it at the end)
    Many links on wii-reloaded going offline since some weeks. If you want to download a Game, which isnt avaible anymore there write me a PM to get a link to another site which host Wii-games. (I dont post the site here, because they also host DS-Roms and many more)
    Then you have to downloading this and extract in anywhere on your harddrive (I uploaded it on Megaupload, because i dont find a link on the internet).
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RO35NAOV
    Rightclick the ISO you want to burn and click on open with and choose the backup-creator.exe.
    Let the tool work for about 5 minutes and then you have a partition.iso in the folder where The backup-creator is situated. This image you can burn with ImgBurn http://www.imgburn.com/ or another program at a write speed 2x on a DVD-R disc. These discs you can run with the Backup-Launcher-Channel.

    How to create a own ISO:
    download the Wiihttpd dumper ive uploaded here (you need a WLan-Router):
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N3ANG09N
    Start this tool via Homebrew-Channel and open your favorite internet-browser on your PC, type in the IP-adress from your Wii and select Wii-SL, download the ISO direct from your Wii and then go on like with a downloaded one.

    For Questions or problems PM me! Sorry for spelling-mistakes or wrong grammar but Im not so good in English!

    Changes:

    28.03.2009: Add information to the new firmware 4.0
    26.06.2009: I noticed that wii-reloaded.ath.cx went down fast and add an alternative (PM me for link)
