Hacking Old homebrew'd wii at 4.1U, looking to update the IOS56

[reginator]

So I recently got an old Wii from a friend which he homebrewed ages ago, and hasn't done any updates. I was looking to play a couple backups of games which i've bought on my parent's wii, but on finally getting them installed i'm getting the number 2 error with the blue screen, which my research says means the ios is out of date, and the one in question is IOS56.

i've read the guides and none seem to adress my particular situation, and im really a little too anxious to try wiping this wii and starting from scratch, since I am not sure what he has had installed already. Is there a simple way to update the IOS56 through a wad or a .dol?

Use MMM to install IOS56. You could also download the wad from ModMii.

Downloading MMM now, is there anything else I need to obtain beforehand? Which is the option for IOS56 in the program, or will that be pretty clear? Sorry wanting my hand held, everything I know i've picked up in two days, my eyes are starting to melt on me I think, haha.

It's cool. Just select IOS Manager, 56, and Install.

I'm assuming I want to answer yes to the fakesign and the ES_Identify?

No. Don't patch it at all.
