Hacking 4.3 soft mod wii wants to system update??

[lizzygav]

I just soft modded my wii using the modmii for windows today. I have a wii 4.3u. And when my son went to play his
pokemon pal park retail disc it said a wii system update was needed to play this game. So i got him to load the game through neogamma.
What would happen if it updated since the wii is already 4.3u. Do i have to load new retail games through neogamma from now on.
Also the priloader was installed.
Any info would be helpful.

You should load reatil games through Neogamma OR install Priiloader and enable the "Block Disc Updates" hack. The reason you are being asked to update is because the installed cIOS's version number is lower than the version of the stub on the disc.

Well...when you try to start a retail game, it does a check on your IOS. It pops up a warning that "an update is required" if you have one or more IOS'es that are outdated, but this is a lie (as you noticed, it plays fine under neogamma).

Among the checked IOS is the 249 slot. I don't recall the exact number of 'retail IOS 249', but it is higher than 21 (it also doesn't contain any code, so updating will just remove softmod possibilities).

Can you recheck priiloader, please? (hold reset while powering on the wii) There should be a hack called 'block disc updates'. If you enable this, discs shouldn't ask for updates anymore.

Use priiloader's 4.3 system menu hacks.ini. You can block disc updates from it.

Thanks so much i reinstalled priloader. I did install it on my first time soft modding my wii and i didn't think to reinstall it. Works great!!

v65280

This is why thebackup copy (IOS250) installs with v65535: the stub has a lower version and won't be installed.
