Hi guys,
So i purchased one of the original (I think) Wii models way back when they first came out and the PS3 came out like a year later so the Wii has been gathering dust for quite a while. Anyway we've moved onto PS4 and I decided to get the Wii out! So at this point the console is completley stock. No mods.
So I updated to 4.3E and all that jazz and ran LetterBomb. I have HBC installed and I have USB Loader GX installed as a Wii channel on the system menu (not on SD card). Everything works great.
I'm all very new to the Wii modding scene but I want a Wii setup with my HDD and all my games backed up to it, but I dont want to have the SD card plugged in indefinitely.
I noticed a few of my original discs were prompting updates, which I dont want to do. I know that you can block disc updates with Priiloader but from what I understand, Priiloader runs on the SD card.
So my question is...
Can I setup my Wii with USB Loader GX, and block disc updates without needing to keep the SD card in?
Also, I am aware that I wont have brick protection without BootMii and Priiloader, but once I have it setup I wont be using HBC at all. All I am using homebrew for is running my backups on USB.
Many thanks in advance!
