I'm currently on 3.3v1 (without October fix) with an old version of HBC and I'd like to upgrade to 4.1 (to have SD menu).
As I want to do the less modification possible on my Wii, I'd prefer using official update but since I'll patch IOS60 maybe I should use Waninkoko 4.1 updater.
That's why I'd like to know what precisely are the differences between an official update and waninkoko update (except for IOS60 patching) ?
I've read in some threads that Waninkoko prevents official patching of some stuff, but I'd like to know what is concerned ?

Note: I've asked the question in an other thread, but as it was not the primary subject, I think it's more appropriate to start a new one.

The Nintendo one patches old IOS to disable trucha, while Waninkoko's only installs IOS new to your Wii.
So that's why guides tell to patch IOS35 and/or IOS36 an a virgin 4.0 Wii (I didn't truly understand why)
Nintendo has surely changed version numbers to the patched IOSes, is there a risk for games that use them to malfunction ?
Well, I'm not sure I'll update now, because I don't really need it ATM. It was just to be up to date.

Thank you anyway!

Just use Nintendo's update, reinstall stuff like cIOS and DVDx, and go!

I was thinking about upgrading too. I am currently on 3.4U..I have the Wii soft modded and I also have the Wii Mod Chip(D2Pro version) today I got a notification from the Wii telling me to update to 4.1..on my Wii I have the Backup Launcher, and the Homebrew Channel(I had help installing the soft mod to begin with so I have no idea about these CIOS and stuff like that) on my SD Card I have some IOS on them IOS16.wad, IOS38-64-v3609, IOS53-64-4113, IOS55-64-4633 and IOS249-r7
I assume I have these all installed on the Wii since they are on my SD Card, a few months ago I had an issue with a game not working right now I put in some IOS file(dont remember which one) and the game worked fine. I'd like to update the Wii since it's always good to update but I dont want to worry about the Wii Bricking.
I was reading posts about people who don't have certain things on their Wii before they upgrade and then they have a bricked Wii so I dont want that issue. Just want the simplest way possible to update. Thanks
