Hacking Automatic disc updates?

[Skyline969]

Ok, so I know that some Wii games have system updates in them. I load all my games from Configurable USB Loader. Does this load the system update on a game (I don't know which do) when I start it? Do I have control over whether or not the update installs? I don't want an update automatically installing and bricking my brand-new Wii.
I'd appreciate a little light shed on this. Sorry for the noob question.

usb loaders usually scrub everything apart from the game data

Ah alright. Easy question, easy answer. Thanks!

and to make extra sure(in case you gonna play a game from disc) set disable disc update check in preloader system hacks to on.

of use a brick blocker program to remove the update before burning to disk

I tried that, and it resulted in my Wii trying to kill itself. Basically, when I put in a disc, my wiimote stopped responding completely. It even wouldn't respond when I ejected the disc. I had to manually reboot the system for it to respond again.

Ah, I remember the thread. But dont worry, when using USB loaders nothing can happen, no updates can install.

If preloader doesn't work, You should look into Startpatch. It's basically a system menu patch with preloader hacks. BUT there is no menu for startpatch. So if you install a wad and get a bannerbrick you won't be able to get into HBC unless if you have Bootmii as boot2

Preloader seems to work fine for me. Mind you, I can't install Bootmii as boot2 due to my Wii being a LU72 or something. It's in the LU64+ category anyways, and has one of those drives that stick two middle fingers in your face and refuse to load DVD-Rs.
