built in recovery mode by Nintendo; if your Wii was semi-bricked they can put in a disc that fixes it

about the skip disc update removal from starfall, i THINK its unsafe to use because if you brick your wii you cant unbrick it, because to unbrick your wii, you need a savemii and that looks for the update on the disk, if it skips the update, then how would you unbrick it?


im not 100% sure of this tho

Arg... all sounds very confusing to me... Unless this recovery mode is necessary for something I may go without, or just boot games with Gecko.

no no recovery modes completely  safe, its the skip disc update wich i THINK is unsafe becuause i THINK that u wont be able to unbrick a bricked wii with that

You can't :confused:

So what exactly bricks my Wii? I don't believe my Wii is currently at any risk of bricking, but if the skip disc update can brick the Wii then I'll just stick with Gecko...

I don't think it can, but if you're really worried, you can choose not to install that part in installation

Ironically enough, that's the main reason I downloaded Starfall, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about it.

It's a drag but I guess I'll just run games that need an update through Gecko.

use all but the GC region free and video patch. it can prevent games from playing on most consoles. only works on a couple of launch ones.

Oh, so the update skipper works fine afterall?

[hetoan2]

yes everything but gc region free

[SuperLink]

OK cool I'll set up Starfall a little later then. Cheers for all the info xD

EDIT: Is having recovery mode on really necessary? I don't want to be messing with stuff like that.

it doesn't force it  on anyway, plus its built in by Nintendo, completely safe.

i would recommend installing the recovery mode patch incase you ever brick and don't have a gc pad or moded gc controller
