Before i start, i know this question has been asked multiple times in various forms, but i just want to make sure i'm on the right track before i do anything to my beloved wii
. Okay, my NTSC wii is at system menu 3.2u and has a Wiikey V1 (fW 1.9g or s). No homebrew. I was happy playing SSBB and Mario Kart, but now want to play Animal Crossing, Punch Out and the newer motion+ games (tw2010, virtua and grand slam tennis). Atm, i don't see any need to go to 4.0, if I can stay at 3.2u and still play the newer games. From numerous searches, i figured-out that i need to, at a minimum, install the homebrew channel, wadmanager and load IOS38, 53, and 55. Is this right? Below is a checklist of things i intend to do. Please comment right, wrong, or add anything that may be missing or should be considered. Thanks in advance. otaytoo
1) install bootmii and subsequently the homebrew channel 1.0.3 through the twilight hack or bannerbomb.
2) perform a nand backup through bootmii, just in case.
3) install wadmanager v1.3.
4) download, extract (using wiiscrubber) and install IOS53, IOS55, and IOS38 using wadmanager v1.3.
5) block updates. i guess the options here are to a) install starfall, b) use the wiikey config disc to enable devmode and update blocker or c) remove the update from the iso (using, for example, wiibrickblocker or WDSv1.3) before burning the game to disc.
late addition:
6) gecko os w/0002 fix. do i need or should i install this? from what i can gather if i want to play games from other regions i should install this. true?
