okay I realize there are 700 different 4.2 threads and most people here think it is useless, which I understand. however, my younger sister wants to get on the wii shop channel, and I really don't want to use any type of updater or anything special besides an official update from the big N. the reason being that I rarely use any modded functions of the wii, and I want my sister to be able to get on any nintendo channel, update to her hearts content, and not have to worry about me doing voodoo (to her anyway) to get the channels running.
I have a US wii on firmware 4.1. I never installed cIOSCORP or anything like that. I don't remember exactly what IOS files I updated, but I know I used the trucha bug restorer and installed whatever I needed to to run backups from a usb storage device. also i'm pretty sure I installed bootmii (it's been a while... sorry)
so.... after this long winded introduction, I'm curious whether an official update to 4.2 would brick or in any way hinder my wii. I don't mind if it blocks HBC or stops backup loaders, whatever, but will it stop me from being able to play official games, get on the shop/nintendo channel ect.
also sorry to bother everyone with another 4.2 question, but I searched and browsed 11 pages back and couldn't find any questions asked from this perspective. thank you very much.
