Hacking Can a USB loader play games that needs system 4.2 on a 4.1 wii?

[wii_noob2361]

I want to play super Mario galaxy 2 and new super Mario bros wii and I was just wondering if I use, for example, USB loader GX, will the work on my 4.1 wii?

yes they will work. You can update all the ios files on your wii which are used by games without having to update the system menu version.

Well as my name suggests... I'm a noob so could you tell me which ioses are used by games and how do I update them?

you can use wii game manager to identify which IOS are used by the games you have... however...it is irrelevent as that only matters for discs launched via disc channel. USB loaders run games on cIOS which, for most people, are based on IOS56 and IOS57 and installed in slos 249 and 250. these two IOSes can run almost all games. The system menu version is also irrelevent.

if needed, you can use modmii to build the cIOS for slots 249 and 250. d2x-v8 or v10 are the ones to use. Modmii link is in my sig. if you modded your wii recently though, you probably already have something in the cIOS slots that will play those games.
