Part 2 of 3:
Using the Cheat Manager
-
1Open The Homebrew Channel and then start the Code Downloader. Unless your native language is not English, choose NTSC-US.

2You will be confronted with the names of a bunch of video games for the Wii. Use the up and down directions on the control pad and use the left and right directions to scroll up and down.

3Once you found the game you want to hack, press the A button and wait. After this is done, you will return to the Homebrew Channel Menu automatically.
-
4Open the Cheat Manager.
-
5Select the text file for the cheat codes you just downloaded (yourgame.txt).
-
6You should see a list of cheat codes.
-
7To the left of the cheat codes, you should see a [-] next to the cheats. This means that the cheats are disabled. To enable the cheats, click on the plus button on the Wii remote when the cheat is highlighted with the cursor. You navigate through the list the same way you navigated through the list of games in the code downloader.

8Once you are done enabling codes, press the 1 button on the Wii remote. Then return to the Wii menu using the Home button.
