Afaik size can be unlimited
But max. 500 games per partition.

I use Configurable USB Loader, does this loader automatically block forced updates? If not, how do I prevent them?
Also, should I update to 4.1? Will all my homebrew (bootmii, HBC, couple of emulators. USB loader) still work?

The app that can play DVD movies is Mplayer CE

Do some reading about it and you'll find how to use it

Is Gecko OS the easiest thing to use to make sure that when I buy a new game, like Grand Slam Tennis or Wii Sports Resort, and try to play them that the Wii will not be updated?

Or should I be using something like this preloader thing I keep reading about, or starfall i think is the other thing.

Also to play these games, will I need to install IOS things on my Wii or is likely that the Wii already has them installed?

GeckoOs blocks updates. So if you always run games with it, you need no additional hacks. GeckoOs also has this cool function to extract IOS from games and install them

Only other thing that confuses me, in the disc loader link thread there seems to be 3 different versions

1.07b (QLeap's version)(fixed for HBC 9)(002 fix)
1.07b (WiiPower's Version)(fixed for HBC 9)(002 fix)
1.07b (fixed for HBC9)

Is there a "best" one or are they the same?

Hi - I've just started using GammaLoader R6 (in order to get WiiSports Resort working), but currently have to launch it from the HomeBrew Channel (as a dol file, I think). Is there any way of installing it as its own channel?
