Hacking Patching cMios on 4.2u - Safest mode to go

[mp3man]

Dear friends,

I think this topic should help me and a lot of Wii newcomers out there. I google'd, searched this forum but I could not find a clear answer for my questions below.

First, I just soft-modded my virgin Wii successfully by following this tutorial:

OK, now it's 4.2U.

The questions are:

1) Can I patch my cMios after my upgrade to 4.2U?
2) Which cMios is more updated right now? Waninkoko or Wiigator?
3) Could someone provide a small tutorial for 4.2U users?

I will be glad to hear from you.

Thank you very much!

1) Yes, it is safe.
2) I'd recommend using Wiigator's as I've never had any issue with it.
3) http://sites.google.com/site/completesg/gamecube - see that webpage.

Thanks for answering

Just one more question: is this Wiigator's latest cMios version?

Thanks

The one listed on that site should be the latest version but I'm unsure. It is the same version I'm using on my Wii though, which is running system menu 4.1U. I was on 4.2U but I downgraded for the region free hacks.

Before you ask yes it worked fine on 4.2U and I installed/ran it on that version of the system menu without any problems.

It loads backups fine as well as retail games. When you load a retail game after installing the cMIOS it will give you an error about not begin able to find the DVD-r but you can ignore it, it will continue and load the game without any trouble.

I patched my cMios and everything ran fine. Please note that I used the latest GCBL 0.2 and cMios v8.

DownSince86, thank you very much for your support!
