System Menu 4.2 - DO NOT UPDATE!

[Mal1t1a]

I'm running 4.2U, I have homebrew running, and I can use Ocarina or Gecko OS to apply cheats, the only compatibility issue that I "might" be having with it, is that I can not Hack Gamecube games with my USB Gecko. Everything else but that is fine.

did u have to do anything with homebrew before updating? (i.e remove it, or maybe restore wii to what it was before installing homebrew)

[Romaap]

It should work, but why would you update?
It is just harder to make homebrew work again and you don't get anything from updating, it has no additional features.

thought i had to if i wanted to play newer games... the docs for the games keep saying that it will check to make sure the wii is up to date before running...

also, how else do i access the shop channel?

[Romaap]

There are some unofficial shop channel updaters, you can find them on wiibrew.org
You can block the updates by installing Preloader or by loading them through Gecko.

I'm still at System Menu 3.something. What would be the best way to update if I want to have the 4.0 version's SD card upgrade functionality for more space/better card reading?

You know that the 4.0 update only provides sdhc support for the system menu? That includes VC/WiiWare from sd card, and backups of saves and channels on sd card, BUT NOT any games that use sd cards themselves(SSBB and music games). For homebrew it does not matter which system menu you have installed in order to be able to use sdhc cards, that depends on the program itself and maybe also on the IOS it's using.

I don't trust sdhc cards anyways, nothing has 100% sdhc compatibility, and there are different compatibilies for almost everything that uses them. HBC, regular homebrew, BootMii and system menu are all compatible to different sdhc cards.

Hmm... I see. I guess that doesn't matter then.

What happens if you already updated it? Any solutions?

You can use bannerbomb v2 and the new hackmii to install the homebrewchanal the gecko os works(without reboot). If you want to use the rebooter downgreat or patch ios 36.

Thank you very much.  :cool: Is there a tutorial on how the whole thing works?

http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/index.new.php than wait press 1 install everything you want (homebrewchanal,DVDXv2,Bootmii). Then copy the gecko os in a folder in apps and rename them to boot.dol or boot.elf .
