Hacking THERE IS NO REASON TO STAY ON 3.2! UPGRADE TO 4.0 PEOPLE!

[BlackEnigma]

I'm surprised by how many corn dog fans we have in here. I never would have guessed.

 

[joshed]

well it wasnt a full brick, you may not even be able to call it a briock but when i went 3.3 to 4.0, no channels would install, and no trucha bug was there anymore. so i NAND restored back to 3.2 and said fuck it

well ofcourse no trucha anymore

And you have to install hbc/cios first
so that was not a brick or wanin's fault really

well of course i had HBC on there already, but no cIOS' or otherwise modded IOS files. SO, not to be too n00bish, but if i am on 3.2U with hbc and cIOS' already, wanin's updater should do the trick with no issues, right?

 

[triassic911]

I have no reason to update to 4.0. I got no problems running 3.2.

[saulin]

Does Starfall or equivalent work on 4.0?

Does Action replay for GC work on 4.0?

Those are also some of the reasons why I kept 3.2 plus like I said I don't see anything in 4.0 that I need. Everything works fine for me on firmware 3.2U.

It's perfectly legal since they changed the EULA in 4.0 to allow it. When you upgrade to 4.0 you agree to the new contract they show you, which states they can update without your consent. You're not forced to install it.

And this topic's title features "THERE IS NO REASON TO STAY ON 3.2" "UPGRADE TO 4.0", not "If you complain about 3.2 upgrade". I've given a reason why I shouldn't stay on 3.2.

Except if you install 4.0 a different way, then the official way, you don't agree to anything, therefore making their EULA worthless IMO. Plus, once again, THERE IS NO AUTO UPDATE CODE! It has been picked through with a microscope, NO AUTO UPDATE!

 

[maako]

I downgraded just for fun. Do I have to suck now..?

 

[thebobinc]

3.2 for president !!! loll sure some of you can like the fact to go to 4.0 but ... 3.2 work really well so if you don't plan to use the SD function i don't see why you should even break your head upgrading to 4.0


surprise so many love corn dog , an only 4.23% like me : No, because I hate zeros!

 

[Alexrose]

so if your happy with 3.2 whats the point in spending all the time and effort upgrading to 4.0 and installing everything again
i personally wont update until nintendo brings something useful for me in their new firmware!!

No, obviously, if you don't want the SD menu, then it's fine not to upgrade. What I think is illogical, and that's what you seem to be missing from my previous post, is that many people don't upgrade solely because they think that 4.0 is just a "3.2 with SD support". If it's just 3.2 with a new feature, then the most natural step to take would be to upgrade, since you'll be getting the much-adored 3.2 AND SD support. You can't go wrong if you follow any of the many tutorials here in GBAtemp. And it is not an "effort" you have to make to upgrade. Or at least, it's one as big as downgrading from 3.3/upgrading to get to 3.2...

But it's completely illogical. You shouldn't get something just because it's there. If someone's handing out free samples of cheese, no thanks, they can keep it. But.. but, Alex, it's logical to take the cheese, because you'll be exactly the same as before, but 1 piece of cheese richer too! Unfortunately no; I will never use this cheese and maybe there's a small risk it'll make me throw up. Or in this case have problems, like bricking or problems installing things in the future. It works fine now, there's a chance it won't work fine if I update, there's nothing worth updating for, ergo I shall not update.

Then you will be able to use all the new WiiWare, all the new disc based games w/o patches, and have the ability to store VC/WiiWare games on SD cards (even pirated ones.) and boot them off of the SD card, saving tons of space and time.

So what are the features somebody would need from 4.0??? The shitty SD feature? LOL! Who cares about crappy vc games... most of them suck. Since BL 0.3g you dont have to "patch" and games so wtf? Did you even check what you are talking about? This is the must useless thread ever seen lol.

QUOTE(dimmujed @ May 22 2009, 06:58 PM) ALSO, to end the rumors, THERE IS NO AUTO UPDATE FEATURE IN 4.0, it would be illegal, and would have to have the option to turn it on or off at will of the user.

Again you are DAMN wrong... read the the terms & conditions from Nintendo. They ARE allowed to to if they wanted to but since now there is no case know they ever did. Again you should inform yourself about the stuff you are going to write.

 

[bubbleboy]

Still on 3.2. Whats the use of the SD card thing?

Why have 16 megs for bloody NES Ice Climber instead of running an emulator?

The only reason would be if you're a HUGE Nintendo 64 fan, because those games aren't emulated.

3.2 FTW

 

[cyrex]

Buy a cheap N64 then... that's how these old fuckers are meant to be played

EULA's don't mean jack-shit in many (if not most countries), Nintendo however would of course use it to do an AUTOUPDATE if they wanted to.

yeah should be! cuz the updater updates ios's but leaves cios's alone, so you can use that to install and boot homebrew/usbloader/etc

First of all, I've never said you "should get something because it's there". Many people have claimed that 4.0 is just "3.2, but with a new, minor feature". If it's so, then they don't lose anything updating. They even get extended SD support. So thanks for the straw man. But also a reductio ad absurdum? You want to follow that road? Ok. If someone was giving "free bullets in the forehead", you wouldn't take it either. But how the heck does that affect your Wii version? Cheese doesn't, either. It has been proven that updating to 4.0 is completely safe as long as you follow the instructions. If you can't follow the instructions, it's only your fault, not the version's. Waninkoko's updater is perfectly fine. Moreover, what is not working in 4.0 that justifies staying at 3.2? There's also the chance of something not working if you don't update, and that would have as much basis as something having a chance of not working on 4.0.

Seriously, it seems you need someone to tell you that you're doing great staying at 3.2. I've said several times that updating is not necessary, but good nevertheless, but you seem to "forget" about that, twist my words and keep taking it as a personal attack. You really need to chill out.

 

[BlackEnigma]

Also it was 3.4 (not 4.0) that the new EULA or whatever was introduced in. I certainly don't recall anyone being automatically updated from 3.4 to 4.0

All I can think of is if you are paranoid and think, well Nintendo didn't update us from 3.4 to 4.0 because they want us to think that we are safe and lull us into a false sense of security. And then when everyone thinks they are safe massive update waves from 4.0 to whatever it is that is going to come next.

 

[kedest]

And for those who think that Nintendo can now auto-update on 4.0, how do you think they'll do that?
When the Wii is in idle-mode with standby internet activated? They would never do that. What if you would suddenly unplug your (secretly updating) wii because you want to take it over to a friend's house for example? That would brick it. Nintendo would never take such a risk

 

[Deleted-171178]

You are an idiot.
Stop telling people what they should and should'nt do.

 

[ricflairandy]

I tried updating but the updater gives me a ret -1 error when it gets to downloading systemmenu 4.0u

 

[Digital1980]

You are an idiot.

Well said! Who does this idiot think he is? He sure tried to put a lot of people down with his OPINION.


I hope your Wii burns up and it's out of warranty.
