Hello All!!! I've just owned a Wii (4.2U) for my kids. Despite it's an old cosole, it still very up to date and enjoyable. I guess it's the most enjoyable console for kids I've every seen.

My "problems " is that it has the Homebrew Channel, U-Loader by Hermes, etc, so it's not an Original but a home brewed console. It's not a problem at all, but I've bought a lot of original games such as Disney Infinity (and its hardware and figures), Guitar Hereo 5 (and the guitar hardware )and so on and when I try those games the play channel asks for "Wii System Update".

I'm new on Wii world and my first impulse was to just update. The problem is that it appears a message saying that if there is any "non original" piece of software in the console memory it can brick the Wii!!! As it's a brewed console, I'm VERY afraid to just uptade.

I've googled my problem and found some tutorials that fits somehow with the problem as they says:

"Note that the 249 slot is not actually used in our installation. This is the most common slot you will see in other tutorials (and it used to be used in this tutorial). However, if installed there, discs with 4.2 and 4.3 updates will still ask you to update, even if you are already there. Installing to the alternate slots means you can still play your discs without them messing up your USB Loading setup!" (d2x, found in gwht wikidot com)

"Note that this setup is different to the old one which use the 222, 223 and 249 slots. This is to allow discs with updates you have already performed to work without requesting further updates. You can thus safely play retail discs without worrying about overwriting your homebrew setup." (IOSes explained, found in gwht wikidot com)

Using d2x I can see that this slots are been used: 202, 222, 223, 224, 236, 247, 248, 249, 250, 254. So I'm assuming that my Homebrew was made using an "old" toturial/procedure.

I've followed all the steps from the tutorials above and the secondary from those and the only flaw I have had was regarding to StartPatch v4.2.6U. When I try the StartPatch it fails with the Es_Identify ErrorError: -1029. This StartPatch would be the piece os software that could skip the system update check (!?!)

Using SysCheck HacksDen Edition I've got the file IOSsyscheck.txt with this info inside:
