Hacking question about my wii (softmodded)

[flashgordon]

Im not new to the wii scene as far as modding but i got a couple things to say and a couple questions to ask


Ok i currently have a wii running twilight hack with hbc already installed backup launcher 0.1 and backup launcher 0.3 already installed now if i go ahead with the sticky on this site new 3.1-4.1 this wont update my console to 4.1 will it and would i still leave the backup launchers on my console or just installed neogamma r7???And would i have to install ios60 before the preloader and exactly what is the preloader?? is that the backup launcher?? and if i follow that 3.1-4.1 guide do i have to install all those ios or cioses or whatever cause i dont remember which one is installed and im on 3.1u and dont wanna switch to any new f/w will this work or should i just follow the sticky in this section for softmodding because i dont wanna update i just wanna go off the same f/w im running im just having troubles with newer games loading and would like to update and why would u patch the ios 15 then go to 36 then back to 15?


I know i will be flamed on this subject im just curious


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

why would you follow the 3.4 to 4.1 guide when 4.2 is the latest one? my advice is to go to 4.2 using xzxero's guide that is stickied at the top of the page or here http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=171901

When your wii is bricked it displays a black screen when you put it on...

if you dont want to update then just install the required IOS's for the game that you want to play, as for ow do you know when you brickyour wii well you will know because it wont work! if you are going to 4.1 make sure you research about the stub ios 60, trust me your best course of action is to go to 4.2 following the guide i mentioned above! Trucha restorer will restore the trucha bug into whichever IOS's you ask it to

why is 4.2 the best to go to???Has its ups n downs?

I just went to 4.2 because it was the latest, no other real reason apart from getting rid of the annoying blue light on the front of my wii informing me of the update, the only ability I have lost is the region free capabilities of my modchip but it doesn't bother me to much as I use a USB loader, I also remember reading about alot of bricks from people following out of date guides so I jus used the one I mentioned above, I may follow the instructions to get back to 4.1 which are also in the guide above if the region free thing doesn't get patched by my modchip makers but hey its your choice

I wouldn't say 4.2 is the best, since the sole purpose of the update is to remove homebrew. I suppose it is easy to deal with whatever you did BECAUSE if you update it will get rid of everything you did and you can just start fresh with installing up to date stuff.

Also read through my guide and the complete softmod guide to get a better understanding of why you need to do things. Then follow xzxero's or something.
