Okay, I had followed a 3-part guide on YouTube that had me do the following, since I had the 3.4U firmware:
1. Install Homebrew using the Twilight Hack
2. Download and place these files on my SD card: cios_fix.wad, IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad, and WAD MANAGER V3.wad.
3. Install the IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad file through Homebrew
4. Install the cios_fix.wad file through Homebrew
5. Run the IOS downgrader through Homebrew
6. Install Shop IOS51 through Homebrew
7. Install WAD MANAGER V3.wad through Homebrew via the Wad Manager
8. Downgrade my firmware from 3.4U to 3.2U through Homebrew.
Every install went great. However, in reading other guides, I now realize that I did not have to downgrade my system to 3.2U. I have yet to test a backup disc on my Wii (no LG drive yet) so I went ahead and placed my ORIGINAL SmashBrothers disc in the Wii to see what happens and it, of course, wants me to update my firmware. Here are my questions:
Should I go ahead with the update? If I do update, will my Wii still be able to play backed up games?
Does upgrading back to 3.4U change the IOS again?
Thanks in advance for your help.
