Quick question, will updating from 4.2 to 4.3 do anything like brick my wii? I know it will get rid of my hacks, but i'll just hack it with the updated versions. Also, can you softmod your wii with only a USB, and not a SD card?
It's the other way around. Every exploit I can think of requires that you use an SD card, not a USB device, to install the Homebrew Channel. However, as long as you have version 1.0.8 or 1.0.7 of the Homebrew Channel, as I mentioned earlier, you will still have the Homebrew Channel after you update.pawan98 said:
I should point out that there is no reason to update to 4.3. You can use ModMii to install the latest IOS files, shop channel, etc. Version 4.1 was the last system menu to offer anything other than anti-homebrew; 4.2 and 4.3 are pointless.
Download and install ModMii, type "I Agree" when it asks for it, choose the first option (ModMii Wizard), tell it your Wii is not a virgin, tell it you're on O - Other (under 2.2) even though it's a lie, tell it your region, choose 4.1 (will include the latest IOS files from 4.3b), choose any channels that need to be updated (like the Shop Channel), choose Yes when it asks if you would like to download any of the following, choose whatever you want (but I suggest you at least choose the recommended cIOS and cMIOS files), download the files, and install.pawan98 said:
The applications ModMii outputs should work on USB. It is recommended that you use version 1.0.8 of the Homebrew Channel and that it run on IOS58 if you are running homebrew applications on a USB drive (as opposed to IOS61). IOS58 will be installed with ModMii if you don't already have it.pawan98 said:

The only part of the softmodding process that absolutely requires an sd card is the exploit itself, if u already have the HBC installed, then u can do everything using a FAT32 hard drive. Oh yeah, a very important part of brick protection is installing bootmii @ boot2 (if possible) and making a nand backup (using either bootmii as boot2 or bootmii as IOS), both of which require an sd card. Oh yea, enabling priiloader system menu hacks via a FAT32 hard drive has mixed results, whereas it always finds the hacks if using an sd card. Long story short, I would recommend u spend the 5-10 bucks and buy a small SD card... but it may not be necessary, but definitely recommended

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
