Yeah they did. Also, I'm likely gonna make my own safe upgrade manual guide, using auto stuff often leaves out options and stuff like that. First gonna test some stuff though.

I think the update gimped my Wii's graphic processor. There a flickering black lines in small areas in Legend of Spyro.
Nintendo needs to patch that. Not sure how they'll fix the pirating problem, but this isn't helping.

I have no idea what IOS Legend of Spyro runs off of, but it should be a re-install of it.

But can it be fixed? Do I need to format the Wii? I'm not sure what you mean by re-install...

The boot2 update was removed from Nintendos servers according to reputable sources, its been off for a while so a safe updater with a JODI Homebrew channel really isn't need if you have a maxed out IOS250.

Thanks dude/dudette. Do i need a CIOS/MIOS/IOS of any sort for 4.1? EDIT: Why cant i find it? >_< PM please! Or is that also bad?
No, it's WiiSCU. Does not require cIOS/mIOS at all.

Dude! Thanks! Big help in my Custom Rock Band 2 Songs! (off topic i know)

rawksd for the win. don't need cIOS or any of that unless you get really deep into some of these hacks. seeing as we mostly use homebrew for Brawl+/Balanced Brawl/Custom RB2 songs, you don't need it.

Keep in mind that Nintendo has sent out an update for Wii Shop Channel that may deletes unauthorized software.
Get this around to people so they don't dumb into it twice. Test it to see if it's ok to update.

It should be fine if you just install the channel. v18 is out but just updating a channel shouldn't do much unless it can find fakesigned channels.

I need the Shop Channel. What do I do?
GunmasterLombardi
Smash Champion
It's not that big of a deal. If you update, you get a free NES game of your choosing. Pick between a free game, and hacking.
Edit: If you didn't pay for the Internet Channel, you don't get anything out of the update.

Yes and yes and yes. I threw out a third yes randomly.
It works with all regions on all system menus.

Does the shop channel update just released today ALSO remove the HBC? it had the same "will remove any unauthorized software blah blah" warning on it....
GunmasterLombardi

Probably does. Read the previous posts to get a safe update w/o losing HBC.
This is kinda off topic, but...:
I have Wii 3.4U, and when NSMBW comes out and forces you to upgrade to 4.2 or not play, can you just run it through Gecko OS?
I use Gecko OS to run Mario Power Tennis Wii, but my friend brought over Wii Sports Resort, and that game wouldn't work.

You might have to use DOP-IOS to get the latest IOS for Wii Sports Resort (again, I forgot which) and Wii Sports Resort will work then.
It didn't delete my HBC but I do have to reinstall BootMii.

Wait, what about newer games like Metroid: Other M? Don't they force updates to play the game? I have version 3.4, but I need to know if I should delete homebrew or w/e before then. After all, I love Metroid too much to risk bricking before I play it.
Hi i have been reading this thread and hope one of you knowing chaps could help.
My wii was recently at 4.1e, i used the safe updater to go to 4.2, before i knew about all this hassle.
For some reson now, when i install i wad using wad manager, it runs fine from the wii memory, but if i then copy that wad to the sd card, a vc game lets say, it then says "unable to run"
But it works fine from the wii mem, is there an ios i should patch that has been left out?
All my usb loaders ans all other homebrew stuff seems fine?

Run Dop-IOS and install IOS70 with the Trucha Bug in it, then it will work.

I don't have New Super Mario Bros Wii yet and already have bootmii and Startpatch to block updates from discs, but I was wondering.
What System Menu Version does NSMB Wii actually contain?

If I have 4.1U on my Wii, and I want to update only the Wii Shop Channel, what do I download from WiiSCU specifically so that I don't brick my Wii?
DQP

you download the shop channel. simple.

So this explains why my Wii froze up multiple times, and getting the 32007 Error Code. when I was trying to update so I can access the Shop.
I really don't want to install anything to bypass this, though. Anything illegal, anyway. So am I basically ****ed until Nintendo comes out with the new update, whenever that is?

a) It's not illegal
b) Just use WiiSCU

Downloaded WiiSCU v. 0.23 from WiiBrew, but it's not providing me any way to download from the 7-Zip files. I'm assuming that I have to download onto an SD Card and then put the Card in the Wii to make this work (which I may be wrong on, easily). So I'm stuck from here.
I'm not computer-savvy in the least. I'd be able to comprehend this if there was a video going through the step-by-step process on how to do this. But it's likely something right in front of my eyes that I'm simply not seeing.
