[xzxero]

why the big rush all of a sudden to update to 4.2 what does it offer? nothing

correct, 4.2 actually retracts features, as far as im concerned.

Simple, to shove it in the face of Nintendo and say: Don't mess with us!

I did the upadte last night and it took quite a while. Every thing went ok and all still works fine. The only problem i had was hbc was upside down but i just has to reinstal ios 36 with no patching and its back to normal.
It added a lot of new ios,s which is why it takes so long to download and install. But all hbc and usb loading works fine and the new hbc is cool with new features.

Where to find the new channel updater from marc?
is that one prefered above the WiiSCU channel updater?

download "42_shop_installer_by_marc.zip" at http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Shop_and_IOS61_installer

I'm not sure if it's prefered but I just did this update this now and it works. Thanks to zektor for the information by the way.

Now I'm having a issue with:

[+] Installing "System Menu 4.2U", please wait...
>> Installing content #135... ERROR! (ret = -1010)

By using the network method. My Wii is 4.1U (updated officially), I have the HBC 1.0.5, DVDX 2, used HackMii 0.5 and softmodded my console. I think that's it. Any ideas?

EDIT: also, I used IOS249 for the installation.

and how do i install wad files ?

before 4.2 i could but after it i cant

 

[jalaneme]

moosehunter is right. and there really is no need to update to 4.2 in the first place. shit i'm still on 3.2

same, and all the newest games so far are working fine, i have geko os installed that is what makes it easier.

Im getting 'ERRORZ! (ret=-1)' at various points during installation. -1 error is invalid SD/USB device I believe. Im using a compatible 2gb SD which I use for installing all other apps (inc Wani updaters). I formatted it twice but still no luck. Currently on official 4.1E

try using IOS250 to install wads

 

[BanditKing]

Why bother to update nothing worthwhile for features and any games that require 4.2 you can brickblock and patch and still play.

Hell I'm still on 4.0 fw.

lol!

and how do i run this ?

I think you can tell wad manager to use a different IOS, when you start the program...

U mean this:

http://www.tehskeen.com/forums/showpost.ph...amp;postcount=1

so i copy the files into apps and run it via HBC ?

 

[Arendo]

well, that's WAD manager, yes

you place your WAD files in SDroot\WAD
you place the wad manager in SDroot\apps\wad manager

I just loaded up my wad manager to check if/where the option to set IOS is, there isn't one, it uses the cIOS.

how did you update to 4.2? have you uninstalled the stub IOS249 and reinstalled cIOS38rev14? if you did that, you should be able to install wads again...

 

[Giga_Gaia]

With all the bricks, what Waninkoko is doing is useless, Nintendo will roll a new version to fix all of the 4.2 brick problem soon anyway.

 

[Dr_Hack]

Arendo ..

before that i reinstall HBC ( there was an update in HBC so i did it .. bootmii + DVDx )

and then i updated to 4.2 via nintendo

correct, 4.2 actually retracts features, as far as im concerned.

it may well do but (a) Wanin's 4.2 installer works fine and gets you up to date (whilst keeping all existing functionality) and MORE IMPORTANTLY stops someone else accidentally updating the Wii the official way which is far harder to recover from (if not impossible ?) than installing Wanin's 4.2

 

[mp3boy]

I've just installed this on a virgin 3.1 Wii using these steps:

1: Install 3.2 update from a disc patched with WUM
2: Install HBC, DVDX and BootMii with HackMii Installer 0.5
3: Run Waninkoko Firmware Updater 4.2

HBC was fine before step 3 but now the picture and controls are flipped upside down. It seems to be some sort of piracy related easter egg in HBC but the only apps installed are GeckoOS and WiiSCU.
