Hello, first of all, I would like to apolagize if I'm posting on the wrong place.

A year ago, I bought a Wii 4.0E, following your guides I was able to softmod it to 4.1E (hbc, trucha, config usb-loader) everything works fine.
Today I tryed (first time) to connect to the Wii Shop Channel to get the Internet browser to surf the Web on it, and I get a message saying " there is a updated version of the Shop Channel, in order to continue, you need to do a System Update".

My questions, is safe to do the update?

After that update, will I need to re-softmod my wii?

The only thing I want from the Shop Channel is the Internet browser.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.- I'm still a newbie so please be gentle.

sorry, but which instructions?

And it's to update the Shop Channel or the System?

Isn't there a newbie error-proof way of get the Internet browser?

Thanks.

The link I posted! And it's a way to update the shop channel! I post it again:
1.Download the latest NUS Downloader HERE.
2.Extract it and start the NUS Downloader.exe, select Extras - Retrieve Common Key (key.bin) and select Pack -> WAD.
3. Type 0001000248414241 in the top-left box and let the v box free, Start NUS Download, after this type 0000000100000038 in the top-left box again and remove everything in the version box and Start NUS Download. After this you will have two folders with the wads inside.
4. Move the two wads to your sd card or hdd.
5. Use Wad Manager v1.7 to install them.

Ok, inside my SD card I already have a folder called wad that was created when I softmoded the wii, should I move the 2 new folders created with NUS to inside that wad folder, should I put those 2 folders in the root of the SD card or create a new Wad Manager folder?

simply move the files without folders into the wad folder and install them.

But all the files or just the: IOS56-64-v5662.wad and the Shopping Channel-NUS-v20.wad files?
Oh, yes, only IOS56-64-v5662.wad and Shopping Channel-NUS-v20.wad, the other files are not important

Ok, now, just before messing it which one should I instal first on the Wii, the IOS56... or the Shopping...?
That's not important which file you are installing first.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
