Sounds like maybe I should find a way to get my system menu up-to-date before doing this then. I've seen the ethernet adapter for around $7 so I'm guessing that'll do the trick.

What games include 4.3U on the disc?

Probably most big titles from the last year would. I'm sure there is a Wiki list out there.

I'd say grab the adapter it will make softmodding and getting homebrew much more fun. I mean with a connection you can get the homebrew browser and download stuff straight from the Wii instead of transferring it from your computer.

I Just found out that USB Loader GX added support for DIOS MIOS lite! :D
Now it’s possible to load GC games off an SD card all in the same loader as your wii games, but only from SD sadly, for hardware reasons.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_homebrew_emulators

look under "Installation" under the emulator to see how to set up the SD card.

basically it's: apps/name of emu/boot.dol

Edit:Glad you got it figured out!

Yeah make a folder called apps on the root of your card and put the emulator folder there.
