I've been talking to Waninkoko and is already preparing its Firmware Updater 4.2 to upgrade to 4.2 and lose nothing. Q I do not think more than a week late in getting it ready.


Source: i can't tell because from the site to download wii games it's a rules from gbatemp. (sorry)

Do we really need a firmware updater?
Can't we just download the new IOSs/system menu and install them with wad manager
What would a firmware updater do that we can't do on our own? Or is there something i'm missing here?

Well, if you update it yourself, you'll lose Homebrew when updating the system menu to 4.2.

How would installing the 4.2 wad remove HBC? Unless... the system menu itself deletes HBC instead of the update process deleting it

That's just what System Menu 4.2 does... unfortunately.

If you update the system menu itself with the system menu WAD, it will automatically delete HBC on every launch. You'll need the Indiana Pwns or Smash Stack exploit to run homebrew again if you do indeed update the system menu itself.

Regarding the IOS wads, I don't see any reason to update them just yet to the latest versions until it's deemed safe or some technique is found.

That's exacly how it works. The system menu does the deleting not the update. That's why u can't just reinstall the hbc after official update

I'd say you can get the latest IOS files using NUS and run them through freethebug, but DoP-IOS is updated already so you can use that to have all of them

Still on 3.2... you're retarded there's no reason NOT to be on 4.1

latest IOS files keep discs from asking for updates, but then so does one of the hacks in preloader.

so some technique found? DoP-IOS = latest IOS with Trucha
Safe? Of course! installing the latest IOS files does not mean you are installing system menu 4.2... just the new IOS.

There is even a third option (many here find it to be a stupid option, but it's still an option) and that's install cIOSCORP 3.4. It makes *almost* all IOS version numbers the maximum value so your Wii will not ask you for an update. (a disc might still ask though unless you disabled it in preloader or startpatch)

The only thing retarded is what you just said. There's no real reason TO be on 4.1 either. The only real benefit ever was copying wads over to the SDcard, but with nand emulation that's out the window. I ran 3.1 until about 2 weeks ago.. no preloader or anything else, shocking I know.

Couldn't you just do a WAD install of only SM4.2 and IOS70, allowing you to keep cIOS and BootMii? For HBC you could just change the Title ID of a HBC WAD using WADder.

Doesn't the System Menu do a IOS version check on even the IOS's it doesn't use? If not, that's a dumb mistake on Ninty's part!

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Most things I can find resulting to a ban is save-editing reasons, like Pokehex, etc, and going online afterwards.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm almost certain fucking Google fibers modems blocking out PPPoE signals

    Like the 6th time I had to reboot this router trying to get PPPoE active

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ken, your hamster inside it is hungry. Can't you turn POE on/off in your WiFi settings page? Or is it not staying on?

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    I own every of my games legit with their own cartridges
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    also, I'm not planning to use any cheats, etc, just continue the normal gameplay on the emulator
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It only gives a internet settings option then it spazes out
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @ATEMVEGETA if you use save from other switch you may be ok, but using a save from emulator to switch will prob get you banned
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Under ipv4/6
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file will be created and started normally on the Switch's OFW with a legit game. Then that save file will be transfered to the emulator and continue the gameplay there. Then send it back to the console.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I feel like I need to touch @Sicklyboy rack to make it work at this point
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file(s) would never be created first in an emulator
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Do you think continuing the story on the emulator would flag the save file as illegal? (Again no cheats, etc will take place, only normal story of the game progress)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But still using the save on a emulator, then back to switch is shady

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Yea, that's the only thing I want to clarify actually. If someone has tried it with no problems.
     +1
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    If using the save on the emulator flags the save file. :/
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Again, "using" I mean normal gameplay not modify it with other means like pokehex, etc
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Can you help me clarify this thing somehow? Do you know someone that may know or have tried it?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just play it on the emulation at home and portable use the normal save, I wouldn't risk anything if online is important to you

    My psychiatrist tried to help me once said it was mine 9 months later
