I've got my Wii at 3.2 and used the Zelda hack to get some VC going, but I like to buy games and WiiWare from the Shop channel. Unfortunately, last time I tried it told me that I had to upgrade, which I know is not the best of ideas. I've got a bunch of Wii points on my account AND Tactics Ogre just came out. I'm itching to upgrade but was wondering if there is anyway to get the best of both worlds? I've heard a bit about the homebrew channel but I was wondering if it's possible to install that, upgrade, and continue to install new channels, etc? I honestly haven't done anything custom wise to my Wii since 6mo-10mo back when I last installed a custom (injected) VC...

Sorry for having become such a n00b, but I'd appreciate some informed guidance before I screw myself over and end up in an non-homebrew friendly state...

Whoa, that sounds perfect for me. Do I install it using the Twilight Hack or what? I'm quite the n00b when it comes to WiBrew...

Is there any advantage to installing the Homebrew channel (i.e. being able to run brew off SD Card) if I mainly use homebrew for Injected/custom VCs?

Whoa. And will I be able to use the saves I've got on the Wii associated with those files right now and will the any modifications be needed for the files (i.e. change the icons, etc)?

Also, the shop channel thingy, can I run that thingy by the twilight hack?

[EDIT - There are multiple Wii Shop + IOS51 packs in the link above, is one of the above better? I'd like to keep the Wii Shop channel where it, just have it working with homebrew...]

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
