ok so I got a 3.2U wii, -- a firmware i want to keep. but conduit came but, disk prompter for update, I pressed yes, then it said it would brick my console if there was any tech mods, so i didnt do update, I patched the game with wum1.2 and re-burned. Then, I DID the update, and it says my wii is now 3.4U, but everything works, was this the purpose of WUM? or what, cuz there's no read-me with the program?

What the hell?

I strongly reccommend against patching updates to discs, there are so many safer ways to do what you did.

Next time you have a new game launch it through GeckoOS 1.802 you can get it from HERE
It'll ask you if you want to install the IOS files that the game needs to run (which is the only reason someone would update) and it leaves your system menu alone.

Hate to tell you but you're probably on 3.4 if it says so and sketchy downgrading is the only way to go back.

What's wrong with brick blocking the game. It still works for me.

EDIT: I guess if you need an IOS in the update, but you can always just download a wad

it probably will continue to, only real change to 3.4 is messing with the twilight hack, which who rly uses that these days anymore with homebrew channel and all.....

GeckoOS is always your best bet for new IOS' that games require without going full update, especially with your chip.

3.4 = the trucha bug being fixed in all your IOS's. Also I believe you cant install wads on 3.4 in its current state. Should you ever brick your wii (hopefully never) it makes the successful use of recovery discs less feasible.
