Hi All,
I'm totally green with the modding stuff on Wiis (and in general), but I managed to follow a tutorial and got The Homebrew Channel/USB Loader GX onto my console. Those both work (somewhat) fine, but recently I've had a problem with playing a specific disc (Monopoly Streets) through the Disc Channel. When I insert the disc, instead of the channel showing Monopoly Streets it prompts me to system update. I attempted to do a little research before doing anything (and I'm glad I did) because apparently the system update goes through the IOS files (specifically IOS 249) and deletes them, replacing them with a stub (empty code). If I had updated, I would've probably bricked my Wii. So I tried to find a way around the System Update, and found two apps (apps?): Priiloader and StartPatch. I've heard that Priiloader is the way to go from the majority, but I checked http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Priiloader which clearly states "IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL PRIILOADER ONLY ON A WII WITH ONLY UNMODIFIED IOSs!" so I'm a little hesitant. On the other hand, I've heard that StartPatch is less used and more techy/complex. I know that there are a lot of threads on Priiloader and StartPatch, but neither seem to directly answer this question (no one in the threads gives clear reasoning as to why they prefer one over the other). Can someone tell me how I should go about this issue?
Thanks,
