No point staying on 3.2 for starfall. Preloader 0.29 can block disk updates and works on 4.1 once you get rhe right hack.ini file. You can also install bootmii and use that to backup your NAND. With those two installed, it adds protection against bricks.
Personally I used this guide, but there are loads others. Choose whichever one seems best.

excellent people , i have now moved forward with my life and i officially updated to 4.1 through nintendo and then follwed Edhel`s link above , which was brilliant, excellent infact , im so happy , my back ups are now loading from the back up launcher that comes with homebrew (installed as a channel)
i got some more questions now if you could help me out i would appreciate it , i cant believe im running 4.1e WOW gone are the dark ages lol , ok anyhows heres my questions
1. when i insert original discs and also back up discs they show nothing at all in the disc channel ( but will both load from the installed back up launcher channel ) is there a way to get these games to load from disc channel ?
i noticed on the same page that the link is for that it mentions cioscorp but does this work for both originals and back ups ? or is there a way that it can be done
p.s i must add that i have no modchip installed , i have only done the steps 1- 14 of the softmod installation from Edhel`s link , any pointers/help would be great on this 1st question
2. when preloader starts i cannot find the (block disc updates) option , i found the (stop disc) option but i dont think its that so where exactly is the (block disc updates) option
hope you can help , im so excited now, WOW i managed to come out of the dark ages, terrific !!!
cheers all
