Hacking *Help* Installing latest Shopping channel on 3.2J

[plmko]

I have a Japanese wii at firmware 3.2J and want to purchase some stuff.

How do I go about updating my Shopping channel without updating the whole system? (Need to update to Shop Channel 4.0)

I've been trying to use WiiSCU to update IOS60,61.... with the trucha bug in and my shop channel, however upon running the channel I get a message telling me to update.

Is there another way for me to access the shopping channel?

Thanks

Afaik the new shop channel wants system menu 4.0 since that's the first that supports playing VC and Wiiware games from SD-card. So even if you update the shop channel manually it won't work.

Tip: Just upgrade to 4.0. It's the best menu at the moment anyway.

I have 3.2e and used wiiscu to get latest shop and internet channels, just choose to update all the ios on the screen instead of just those 2, i also put them all trucha enabled - dont know if that is requirede to be honest but it worked so what the hey, also if you have any of the cioscorp variants installed you will need to re run your installer for that afterwards to keep compatability up

Yeah I want to upgrade to 4.0 but I've read somewhere that Japanese Systems can't have 4.0 with HBC, because the installers out there don't support Japanese systems.

Oh an Leon do I need to have cioscorp installed? I thought cios rev 10 was good enough because Wiiscu installs the trucha bug into all the IOS relevant to the Wiishop.

cioscorp shouldn't be required for anything.

I'm 100% sure that that's bullshit. The only thing that is different between U/J/E-Systems is the system menu and the region-settings-txt either of which have anything to do with any kind of installer.
If you are still concerned just isntall the newesst homebrewchannel before updating: problem solved.

You could also always change your systems region. waninkokos Firmware Downgrader can do that for you.

Yeah I thought that was bullcrap too, but I didn't want to risk it.

Just one last thing do you think you could direct me to a good 4.0 upgrade guide, there are many out there that seem to differ, just want to you know one that people recommend.

Cheers

Just install a cIOS, run a update through Nintendo, trucha-patch IOS60 (be carefull at that part), run IOS downgrader, finished.

Oh goodie my Shop channel now works, thanks slowking I have now update to 4.0J.

However I realised that my Shop channel was not working because my Wiiconnect24 was not on, so I could've got it working on 3.2J.

Thanks to everyone!

eh, 4.0 is hackable anyway, so you were probably better off updating anyway. No point in staying at 3.2 anymore.

As already said CIOSCORP is not required at all unless you want to do disc channel loading, its a old (ish) hack now but i still like it as its pretty ingenious really and i like having discs, even if they are copies =)
