It's been awhile since I followed an older guide to softmod the wii...I can't for the life of me remember which rev of the cios was installed (I think it was rev 14 with some other Hermes v4 revs as well....can't be sure though). I do have bootmii installed with the NAND backed up as well. The firmware on the wii is currently at 4.0....I'm currently looking for the best way to get up to date with the most recent cios for usbloaders in particular...no interest in wiiware/vcgames. Could anyone one let me know what I should do to get up to date?

1) Could I just follow the sticky guide and start from scratch? I can't seem to find if it's ok to use the guide step by step on a softmodded wii or you need a wii that hasn't been softmodded....

2) Should I just update to new hermes and new cios manually? If so, are there instructions/recommendations on which versions to update to? There is a lot of information here and it's extremely difficult for someone that hasn't kept up to see what they need to install and how to....so I am looking for some assitance if possible. Is there a point to update the firmware to 4.2 from 4.0 even? (I do know that 4.3 is kind of a nono despite the recent advancement of hackmii to run hbc)

If people could point me to the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Whatever you do make sure you install HBC 1.0.7 first that way if you accidentally update you still have HBC.

I would use NUSAD to update what you need. Stickied at the top.

EDIT: New 4.3 Ninty Update kills all other HBC except 1.0.7 so don't Officially update with Ninty.

    Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY

    Gee, I wonder if the author is biased?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    Mame should be two sets one for preservation of everything and one set for people who just want to play and enjoy the old old ganes

    @Psionic Roshambo, There's a lot of obscure Japanese arcade titles that are either lost to time or dumped.

    It's so unfair, maybe AI can save us lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, AI is taking our jobs!
