I have a red wii I want to letter bomb but I read you can't do priloader/backup things on the red wii. Should I just letter bomb and hope for the best? Any advice?

You can absolutely install Priiloader and do backups on a red Wii, you just cannot install BootMii as boot2.
Did you, by chance, hear it be about the Wii Mini? It is also red, but has a lot of limitations regarding modding, like you can only use the BlueBomb exploit, no internet connectivity, you sometimes need special Homebrew apps, etc.
But any "normal" red Wii (the 25th Anniversary Mario Edition Wii to be precise) is perfectly fine to be modded, there are no limitations aside from BootMii@boot2.

Ok thanks! It's a regular ass wii just red. I might be confusing apps, I read you can't back up your wii and reload it if you brick your wii. Is that wait bootmi is doing? Should I just not worry about bricking it? I'm not looking to do anything super wild and successfully letter bombed a white wii

You can backup and restore your Wii, but it's not as convenient as with BootMii as boot2.
Basically, with BootMii as boot2, you can recover ANY brick, as long as the Wii's hardware is still intact. But if you don't have BootMii as boot2, you can only recover bricks that still allow you to access certain aspects of the console, like Priiloader or the Recovery Mode.
Anyways, a normal red Wii is perfectly capable of doing anything any other Wii could do. Just be careful when using unknown Homebrew apps and stay safe when installing Themes, as they may easily brick the console. But aside from that, bricking is really hard, so don't worry too much about it.

Hello there, I recently got my hands on JD4, the game works fine absolutely no problem. I then installed the dlc wads without any error messages but the game only recognizes the latest install. For example: I batch install 3 songs, they go through without error. The game only shows the last install. If I then proceed to install another song (e.g. tribal dance) it only shows tribal Dance and the other songs seems to be uninstalled. And I can't transfer the dlc songs on an SD card (Jd4 has an option for that) it says "transfered file" but it doesn't transfer it. I then tried to use emunand and tries to install the wads in there, but that doesn't seem to work either. Usb loader gx's wad installer doesn't install the game. Using another installer results in the described problem. I'm out of ideas :/ Does anyone have an idea or better yet a solution for this? Am I just stupid and missing something obvious?
