recoomeboom said:i recently softmodded my wii using the stickied guide by deviyl, and everything is working fine, and i really appreciate both because in tandem, i was able to preform the softmod and understand it a little better (though i'm still about as far from pro as you can get). I stuck to deviyl's guide word for word, so i have no further modifications.
one area that i am still a little confused on is how the IOS files are affected during system updates. I have bootmii installed to boot2, so i shouldn't have any major issues (based on what i've read) and i am really not interested in playing backed up games on dvd's or a flash drive. from here on out, should i be safe getting official firmware updates from nintendo, without the fear of being bricked?
Nobody knows what updates Nintendo can do next. If there is ever any new update that comes out, you should come back here and read up on what it does and what it breaks, and how you could safely update if you need to at all. You shouldn't update from discs at all anyways and if you installed preloader, you can use the hacks.ini with that to block disc update checks, or you can use startpatch to do it if you don't have/want preloader.
ok I haven't installed preloader should I? and I still get stuck with dop ios. After its done downloading everything it just freezes. Edit: also the only time it freezes is when I install it with the sig hash checklordlom said:
Depends on what you want. Do you want the system menu hacks, and the extra bit of brick protection, and ability to autoboot files directly? If so go for it.
As for dop-IOS...not sure why it's freezing, but you could try posting in the thread for dop-IOS itself.
