Just install PriiLoader and install this hacks.ini file
http://gbatemp.net/t...x-43x-hacksini/
and turn on the hacks to block updates. It should load from the disk channel just fine.
I'm reading up on PriiLoader. Can it really brick the Wii? If so, what are the chances, I do not want to hear it back from them that the machine is now broken, and it's all my fault by telling them to do that.
