As of hackmii 0.8, ios58 will be install prior to hbc install for all wiis 4.2 and less.
Below you will find many methods for loading the hackmii installer. Bannerbomb is best and is supported on 3.0-4.2 wiis. Choose the method compatible with your wii.

2.0-3.4 use the Twilight Hack
Download [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and exstract to SD/
-Play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, make a savegame
1. Put your SD card in your Wii and turn it on.
2. Go into Wii Options --> Data Management --> Save Data --> Wii.
3. Find your Zelda save, click on it, click "Erase", and click Yes.
4. Open the SD card and select the "Twilight Hack" save that corresponds to your game region. Note: Some people are having problems with the Wii not "seeing" the save file on the SD card. If you are experiencing this, try setting the archive bit for the data.bin file - in Windows this can be either be done from the file's properties dialog (right click on it in Windows Explorer and check the box) or from the command line using "attrib +a <path to data.bin>". More info at #wiihelp on Efnet.
5. Click copy and then yes. Now exit out of the menu.
6. Insert The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game disc and run the game.
* If you have the USA version of the game, load the "TwilightHack0" or "TwilightHack2" version of the game as appropriate (see above).
* Otherwise, load the only "Twilight Hack" save game.
7. Once in the game, either walk backwards or talk to the man standing in front of you.

If you are using System Menu 3.4, you must immediately put the Twilight Hack to use. Turning off or running some other channel or game will have the System Menu delete the savegame again, and you'll have to start over. Also, 3.4 must also extract twilight-hack-v0.1-beta2.zip to sd:\ replace files when asked.

Loading Backups FAQ:
Does my wii load dvds? If it is new, probably not. Discs suck anyway, usbloading is much better. Disks must be loaded from a disk loader, like the neogamma channel installed on your wii. They will not work from the disk channel, unless you installed darkcorp. Read this for tips on burning- [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Cios- you have:
Hermes- cIOS202[60]-v5.1 for WiiMC
Hermes- cIOS222[38]-v4, cIOS223[37-38]-v4, cIOS224[57]-v5.1
Wanikoko- cIOS247[37]-v20, cIOS248[56]-v20, cIOS249[38]-v17, cIOS250[57]-v20
You have all the current cios needs, so if you have any issue and so and so says use this cios, you have it.
CFG-USBLoader has been set to use cios250[57]-v20, this should load just about everything for you. But is you have games that need other cios you can use those as well. Triforce compatibility has been maintained with ios249[38]-v17
