Thinking of soft Modding my Wii. I have questions.

I have been wanting to soft mod my wii, my main problem is I am confused and internet has been spotty.
First: I have updated my Wii to the update that came with Kirby's Dream Collection, what firmware is this and what do I need to download for it?
2: Do I need internet on my Wii?
Last question: Is the process very time consuming?

Follow this guide:

it's what i used, and it led me to other mods after figuring it out, make sure to use Prii-loader so you can be region-free and block-updates from discs and online.

Easiest method imo.

Will probably have to download the files and transfer though SD, not sure on that one, never did it without wifi/cable.

But your going to NEED a SD card to mod it anyways.

No idea what firmware came with Kirby's... at this point you just want to put it on the latest firmware and go.

I don't THINK you need internet on the Wii but I'm not positive.

Basic softmodding takes next to no time, you might need to fiddle around a little bit to get it to exactly where you want...

I think ModMii (google - I'm at work, most stuff's blocked here for me) will still do everything 100% for you. It's what I used, and I'm on 4.3 which I think is the latest firmware

I just used the letterbomb method, which only requires an SD card. No game disc or internet on the Wii required.

I've done the mod 5 times now, and it takes me between 30-40 minutes each time.

I believe the guide I used was posted by Maui Frog on WiiHacks. You should be able to find it with just a bit of searching.

Hope this helps!

It seems so complicated though ;~;
I got really confused.

My SD card is a action replay one with a ton of saves. It's more than two gigs.
