Grab the Homebrew Browser from ModMii or using the link to easily download many other popular apps right from your Wii! (requires WiFi on console)
To manually "install" apps, download your homebrew and you should find a boot.dol (or boot.elf) file and possibly an icon.png and meta.xml.

For the HBC to read your SD/USB correctly, your card must be structured SD:/apps/application name/boot.dol
-
Some apps require a meta.xml be saved in the same place as the boot.dol to work properly (icon.png is always optional).

If you have a dol or elf file not named "boot", rename it boot.dol (or boot.elf), otherwise it will not be recognized by the HBC (not required if using Priiloader to install a file from the root of your device).

Not knowing that much about computers other than some excel tricks, I slowly built more advanced features on top of my original less efficient code that I'd love to rewrite if it wasn't such a daunting task. Throughout the journey I learned a lot from not just those in the credits list, but the incredibly supportive Wii community as a whole. I've gone from just being a "numbers guy" to my family's go to "tech guy", and I have this project, community and followers to thank for it.
ModMii has locked two potentially dangerous features:

-
The ability to remove/delete games
-
The ability to format a hard drive
-
-
To unlock these features, while in Configurable USB-Loader:
-
-
-
Hold 1 for 5 seconds, then enter the default password AAAA

-
The password can be changed using the Configurator for Configurable USB-Loader.
-

to lock these features, hold 1 again for 5 seconds or exit the loader.

Set External Hard Drive Partition Style to MBR (if applicable)
+
+
First, plug your hard drive into your PC and check if it's Partition style is already MBR.

+
+
Right-click "This PC" or "My Computer" and select "Manage", a new window will open, on left panel click "Disk Management".
+

If "This PC" or "My Computer" is not on the desktop it can be accessed using the ⊞ Win+E keyboard combination.
+

+
In the disk's properties window, select the "Volumes" tab.
+
If the "Partition style" is already Master Boot Record (MBR), you can skip the rest of this step.
+
+
+
If your hard drive is larger than 2TB and not already MBR, you must follow ca032769's guide to complete the rest of this step.
+
+
ca032769's guide only supports Western Digital Hard Drives.
+
If your hard drive is >2TB, not MBR, and not made by Western Digital you are currently out of luck.
+
Once you have successfully converted your hard drive to MBR you can proceed to the next step of this guide.
+
+
+
If your hard drive is 2TB or less and not already MBR you must convert it using one of the two methods below.
+
+
+
Method 1: MiniTool Partition Wizard
+
+
If you have files on the drive you want to keep, you can convert the Partition style to MBR without losing data using MiniTool Partition Wizard.
+
Even though your data should be preserved, there are no guarantees and you should still back up your files.
+
If your drive is not already in the desired format (e.g. FAT32) you will have to format it during the next step anyway so there's no point in using this method.
+
Within the MiniTool window, right-click the GPT disk you want to convert and choose "Convert GPT Disk to MBR Disk".
+
Click the "Apply" button in the toolbar.
+
Click the "Yes" button to confirm conversion.
+
Wait for the conversion to finish then click "OK".
+
Once you have successfully converted your hard drive to MBR you can proceed to the next step of this guide.
+
+
+
+
+
Method 2: Windows Disk Management
+
+
+
Back up any data on the disk before continuing! This will wipe all data on the disk!
+
Open Disk Management following the same procedure above and locate the disk drive you want to use.
+
+
+
+
+
Right-click the partition(s) on the drive (make sure you select the right drive!) and select "Delete Volume" or "Delete Partition" to remove them. Repeat this process for each partition on that disk.
+
+
Right-click the disk in Disk Management and select "Convert to MBR Disk."
+
+
+
On the lower half menu of the window, locate the unallocated space, right-click it, and select "New Simple Volume" and click "Next".
+
Choose a Drive letter for this partition, then click "Next".
+
+
Make note of this drive letter, as it will be needed later.
+
+
Set the File System to your desired format and optionally customize the "Volume label".
+
+
If your desired format (e.g. FAT32) isn't an option choose "NTFS" and we can change it later.
+
+
+
Click "Next", then click "Finish".
+
+
If you see a message indicating you need to format the drive, click "Cancel".
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Partition and Format the External Hard Drive (if applicable)
+Choose a format option using the buttons below. FAT32 is generally recommended but you can click other buttons to see pros and cons of each.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+FAT32 (Recommended)
+
+
+Pros:
+
+
The Wii can access apps, games, covers, media and other files stored on FAT32 without requiring an SD card.
+
Compatible with playing Gamecube games.
+
Compatible with SNEEK/Nand Emulation.
+
+Cons:
+
+
Cannot store files greater than 4GBs. The limit does not apply to Wii games, which can be split into parts. This will likely not affect you unless the drive is also used to store HD videos.
+
+
+
+
+
First, plug your hard drive into your PC and determine if it needs to be formatted by checking the current Format\File-System of the drive.
+
+
+
+
Open "This PC" or "My Computer", right-click the external hard drive you want to use, then select "Properties".
+
+
If "This PC" or "My Computer" is not on the desktop it can be accessed using the ⊞ Win+E keyboard combination.
+
+
Make note of the Drive Letter of the external hard drive as this will be important later.
+
If the "File-System" is already FAT32, you can skip this step.
+
+
If you have anything saved on the hard drive, you should back it up now as all the data will be lost once you format it.
+
Launch FAT32 GUI Formatter from shortcuts on your Start Menu or Desktop.
+
+
+
+
+
Carefully select the correct drive letter corresponding to your external hard drive.
+
You may optionally uncheck the "Quick Format" box, then click "Start".
+
+
When completed it should display "Done".
+
If you get an error indicating the device is in use, try again after first closing all of your file explorer windows, even the ones that weren't browsing the device.
+
+
Click the "Close" button.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+NTFS
+
+
+Pros:
+
+
Capable of storing files greater than 4GB.
+
Most USB-Loaders can access games, covers and music saved to NTFS.
+
+Cons:
+
+
The HBC cannot load apps stored on NTFS, so an SD card or modern forwarder channel is required to run USB-Loaders.
+
Incompatible with playing Gamecube games.
+
Incompatible with SNEEK/Nand Emulation.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
First, plug your hard drive into your PC and determine if it needs to be formatted by checking the current Format\File-System of the drive.
+
+
+
+
+

You may optionally uncheck the "Perform a quick format" box, then click "OK", then click "OK" again.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+WBFS
+
+
+Pros:
+
+
Greater compatibility with hard drives, especially small thumb drives. If loading backups using other formats doesn't work you can try WBFS before getting a new hard drive.
+
+Cons:
+
+
WBFS can ONLY store Wii Games, so an SD card is generally required to run apps.
+
Incompatible with playing Gamecube games.
+
Incompatible with SNEEK/Nand Emulation.
+
Windows Explorer cannot open WBFS drives and may prompt you to format it, careful not to do so accidentally.
+
+
Wii games saved to the drive can still be managed on your PC using Wii Backup Manager or on your Wii using a USB-Loader.
+
+

+
+
+
+

Fun Fact! If you ever need to restore a NAND backup, you can do so by launching Bootmii with an SD card containing the appropriately named Bootmii folder, nand.bin, and keys.bin, and follow the procedure described above except this time select the option with the red arrow going the other direction.
-Another Fun Fact!

-Fun Fact! I mentioned IOSs and cIOSs before, "the Wii console uses the 'IOS' system to communicate with the hardware, it's like a driver (compared to Windows). It contains information and communication tools (like how to access the Disc drive, how to access USB, read the savegames data stored on internal memory, etc.)" ~Cyan. If you're curious to learn more about IOSs or cIOSs, a thorough explanation can be found in Cyan's IOS Explanation post.

Practically speaking you will only need this app if you encounter an "NKit.iso" or "NKit.gcz" game backup, which are not supported by WBM or GCBM.

Usually these files have NKit in their names, but if WBM or GCBM cannot handle a backup it may be an unlabelled NKit backup.
