Yes it is safe. And since most new games/wiiware are using this IOS is good to update anyway.

The only time you have to worry about stub IOS actually breaking anything is if you're upgrading a system menu IOS. System menu IOS aren't used for games ever, so there is never any reason to update them. Likewise if you're just updating an IOS a game uses, you have no chance to brick your system menu... assuming of course you're installing the right IOS

The only IOS's that you really need to be cautious with are: IOS9, IOS11, IOS20, IOS30, IOS40, IOS50, IOS60, IOS70, and IOS80. This, however, doesn't mean that you should just go around messing with IOS's without knowing what you're doing.

That's different though, you're not upgrading an IOS, you're installing a patched system menu IOS just so you can run pirated WADS.

    damn i got band
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Hm... I got suspended from reddit due to suspicious activity.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    They could specify what suspicious is.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Not a huge fan of Reddit. Moderation is utter trash and people give out bad advice (well, not all the time, but you get what I'm saying). Even to a point where you get banned from a subreddit regardless of following the rules (or post deleted). :mellow:
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I never got banned from any subreddit :mellow:
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    not subreddit and not banned
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    had to replace my password, just don't see what they meant with sus activity
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I am banned from the subreddit funny though, despite never posting anything there or getting any warning

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Did u check your e-mail to see whether they messaged you about the ban reason?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    nothing
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    only noticed last week when I was gonna comment on something
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Could be either your e-mail address being anonymous or temporary, or some other thing that I don't know of.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    nvm, was banned 3 years ago
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I asked why I was banned, never got a reply
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Well that was 3 years ago, shouldn't hurt to make a new account. Or just never bother.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'm not banned from reddit, that was just from funny

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    From reddit was just the suspension, changed the password and all goood

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Oh good. :)
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I've blocked all the auto-ban bots so I shouldn't be auto-banned for no reason
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't use reddit but do auto ban bots not need to be mod, which means they can see your posts regardless?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    not in other subs
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    basically they check if you're a member of other subreddits, you can be banned just for being in a sub they don't like, even though it is not against the rules
