I've searched every where (including the 002 NFS Undercover thread which is like 27 pages long). This is what I have, a Nintendo Wii with 3.3U firmware (it came like that when I bought it) and a mod chip (Wii Key 2). I want to play Need for Speed Undercover. And I currently do not have the Homebrew Channel or Twilight Hack.
I've read almost everywhere that you have to install 3 ios's to be able to play NFS Undercover. But when I put the back up copy of it (non-patched, download copy, with an update apparently), it prompts me to update (I assume to 3.4U with the three ios). I didn't update in fear of not being able to play back-ups any more. So should I update through the disc? Or some people said install the 3 ios (as wads?) separately (please be tech-friendly if possible
) but then wouldn't this method require the HBC or can you do it on a mod chipped Wii alternatively?
Basically, how should I go with being able to play Need for Speed: Undercover (proper DVD5 version, not some 2-3GB or less .iso file) on 3.3U. If I update through the disc, what will happen (Trucha Signed discs?)? What about the ios separately thing? Do I require HBC for that (since I can do it since I have a working copy of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)? How?
I have heard that you can not play Trucha signed discs on 3.4U. Is this true? And is this also true for 3.3U (as I am on it now). About Trucha Signed discs, from what I have read, they are discs made by people like us (not official) and hacked/cracked versions or simply Homebrew (please correct my definition). Do you require the Homebrew Channel (or Twilight Hack, whatever it is called) to be able to even use Trucha Signed discs (an example I have read of is the DVD5 version of SSBB, or a better example is custom songs disc with Guitar Hero)? Also, if I remove an update from a disc, does the program Trucha sign it or something so it does not become the original/proper/retail version of the game ?
About mod chips, is it okay to update them with no fear (as long as its same region update), like no bricking. And are the updates always required by some of the games?
********
Non-related question: I have searched this a bit. Here is my question: Can you use Homebrew Channel (for example, for VC and WiiWare games) with a mod chip (Wii Key 2) but without the Twilight Hack?
This is what I found but it's slightly outdated.

I want to be able to have HBC without doing the Twilight Hack. I have The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess backup copy which works (from testing) but I would rather find an alternate method. Is there any?
********
Another quick question, is there a list of Wii games which contain an update (firmware information would be useful).
Unrelated Question 2: There is a pink and yellow game cover of WarioWare: Smooth Moves, why? And I heard there is version 2 of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Care to enlighten please.
P.S. Hope this is not a too n00bish question but I couldn't find the results anywhere for my situation. I searched though so don't flame me with that bull crap.
Thanks
