A friend of mine had her Wii "soft-modded" by someone. She is not sure what he did but she did an upgrade to 3.3U and now her homebrew won't work. She is getting the old "Invalid Wii Applicatiuon" error. I know that is from the upgrade and the "old" apps can't run on 3.4.
She asked me if I could help. I have my Wii Softmodded on 3.4U from following a great guide on this site. All my homebrew and backups work fine. I know the best solution is to downgrade to 3.2, however, I would like her to be set up like me on 3.4.
I can't tell what the guy before did but her SD card only has emulators and roms (all w.Elf files not .dol) There is one folder called Themes. I did not see a Softmii folder or anything else. I am concerned he might have used something like softmii or something, so I am afraid I might brick her Wii if I just try to upgrade to 3.4 and install the wads like on mine. I have never used preloader or softmii so I have no idea how the SD card should look.
I guess my question is if I do the upgrade and softmod by just installing my wads will it just over write anything he did or will it cause a brick? I did notice he HBC showed Ver 1.0.1 IOS36 V418 while mine says 1.0.1 IOS36 V12.78 if that helps. From what I can tell by looking at it, it appears he just downgraded to 3.2 and then installed HBC and some emulators and a DVD player. Thanks in advance for any help!
