This method works on all the versions from 3.0 to 4.2+. You don’t need any kind of hardware or any type of technical skills to do it.

Modifying your Wii isn’t something that requires a detailed research and testing all different softwares and methods available on the internet.

Luckily I knew better to use a mod chip; otherwise I would have surely voided my warranty.

You shouldn’t spend more than 15 minutes on such a trivial task.
