I have a modded Wii which is on System Menu 4.0E and I put in Super Smash Brothers Brawl (original) and the Wii asked for an upgrade. I then put in Okami (original) and Super Mario Galaxy (burned) and the same thing happend for both of them (I put in WarioWare Smooth Moves (burned) after that and it did not ask for an upgrade).
I've upgraded to 4.0E through Nintendo and have Homebrew Channel, DVDX and cIOS Rev10 installed (and IOS35) [I installed all these things after I upgraded to 4.0E via BannerBomb and BootMii]. I have a bunch of emulators, WAD Manager and few other applications on my SDHC card installed. Also, I have a 3 WADs installed (via WAD Manager).
Anybody have any idea why this System Upgrade message is coming up? Also, if I upgrade will it have any side effects on my and/or stop letting me use or block any "non-legal" applications?
Any opinions and answers are greatly appreciated

Thanks

The games you mentioned do not contain System Menu 4.0, so there is no way for the games to force malicious (to homebrew) updates on you. (Heck, they predate System Menu 3.3, so there are no homebrew thwarting attempts!) When a disc prompts for an update, it compares your system files and their version with those on the disc, not Nintendo's update servers.

This merely means something is outdated or missing. For future games, I would suggest using Preloader's or StartPatch's ability to block disc updates. (You can install missing IOSes via WAD Manager.)

If you use the updates on your disc, something will be installed or overwritten. I cannot vouche for the safety of updating from the disc, since it might delete some mods (i.e.- CIOSCORP).

Since you updated through Nintendo, I have no clue what the discs could be prompting for. These are the more significant system titles on Okami and Brawl, if that helps. (Galaxy actually has an older update.)

I decided to update from the disk prompt. I turned WiiConnect24 off and put in Okami and I accepted the update. It updated instantly and let me play the game. My homebrew and other applications are still intact. I can also still install WADs. Everything's working as it did before the update (other than it letting me play Okami, of course). Looks like it just install the IOS needed to run the game.
