I haven't used my Wii in a while and wanted to update it to play NSMW since I received it as a gift. My Wii is at 3.2U and I have homebrew channel on it (along with some custom injected WADs). I have a bunch of points on the Nintendo store and generally like to buy games (like seeing them on my shelf I guess) but I'd like to keep homebrew options open.
Basically, I'm wondering if I can upgrade my Wii but keep a backdoor open and even if it's possible to keep using my Wii with downloaded games (would be nice to load my own games from DVD and then have quicker loading or no need to switch discs, is that possible?). I know the issue of owning a game or not isn't a big deal here but would it be easier to rip games from my discs or download them from the tracker?
Sorry for all the questions but I figured it would be better to check here before foolishly upgrading my Wii and being stuck in a position where I lose all ability to homebrew.
Thanks!
