Hello, first of all I'd like to apologize for asking this question here... I've noticed there is quite the abundant library of info and guides available but none of them quite tailor to my case i assume

and since I'm knowledgeable when it comes to PCs, but basically know jack about my Wii I'd figure I'd best play it safe and perhaps ask some help from someone much more experienced in this matter ^^

so the thing is, im on 3.3E (or 3.4, don't remember for sure), I have one of the original wiikeys on 1.9s and HBC installed (which I installed through the Twilight Hack method).. Now I was looking to upgrade the Wii up to spec with the latest possible and safe firmware so I can enjoy some of the newer games out but I'm afraid doing so, in my dreadfull ignorance, will result in a shiny new brick..

Can anyone please let me know which steps would i have to take to achieve this safely? I don't need backup loaders or anything of the sort cause I have the modchip but I'd still like to keep HBC as I find it very usefull for GeeXbox and emulators

Thank you for your time, and once again i apologize for not taking advantage of your extensive resources and guides, normally I would, but im pulling the wii out the closet to shape it up and give it to my GF in time for her birthday and despite that I have a med school exam comming up which is eating me up whole so I can't afford to dig in like usual

    @BigOnYa: You know what would rock? Howabout a space shooter in the vein of COLONY WARS. People have tried to do this but it just DOESN'T FUCKING WORK. And I'm serious. If you've ever, EVER plays Colony Wars, a terrific space shooter, with all of it's ships maneuverability like Colony Wars (your ship in that game can move BACKWARDS, which is a serious part of navigating in that game), and modern-day gameplay would be fucking AWESOME. But you know what? It'l NEVER FUCKING HAPPEN, for the same reasons that SONY FIRED Liverpool Studios. Know what that means? No more WIPEOUT RACING GAMES. I've said enough. I have to retire. You cats stay cool, and we'll be seeing you in the Matrix...

    By the way, in remark I made above about WipeOut & Colony Wars, BOTH of these games were developed by PSYGNOSIS. On the OG Playstation, there were 3 iterations of WipeOut, and 3 iterations of Colony Wars. Psygnosis eventually evolved into LIVERPOOL STUDIOS, so I hope you can understand the connection. Studio Liverpool was eventually shut down after their release of the WipeOut Omega Collection for the PS4 (which is also available for the PS5). This was a TERRIBLE move for the CEO COCKSUCKERS @ SONY, who only look for profit. The CEO's of this company DO NOT PLAY VIDEOGAMES. They just want to know how much money is going into their pockets. Too bad, that was a VERY TALENTED TEAM OF DEVELOPERS. Oh well, looks like I'll be saving my money on the next-gen console that is backed by REASONABLE FUCKING GAMERS.

    Why?
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    Actually I was trying to do gpu compute on the 3ds and putting two mov instructions next to each other causes the 3ds to crash
