Hi all,
I've been working on a job lot of Wii consoles that I picked up, over the last week or so. Mucking around with them had made me feel extremely nostalgic, so I decided to hook up my own personal Wii and see what was on it (a bit of a time capsule experience).
I haven't turned this Wii on in well over a decade, probably since like 2009-2010 or something...
I noticed that it's on firmware version 4.1E and all of the homebrew apps that I have installed on the SD card are quite outdated (which is to be expected).
If I wanted to update the Wii to the latest firmware and update all my homebrew apps, what would be the best approach for this? I don't really remember how I soft modded this Wii, or any of the steps I took back in the day. It honestly wouldn't bother me if I lost all my data and had to start again, as there wasn't really anything important that I could find on there.
In theory, would it be safe to just update the Wii like normal (using an internet connection) to 4.3 and then reapply the soft mod from scratch?
Any help would be appreciated!
