Hey, I'm new to this forum and I need a little help with something. I tried to find some help searching for the same problem on google and here on gbatemp but got no luck so far.

I got a new wii which had a softmod and it was on system 3.4U, so I formatted it so I could update it normally (it didn't have priiloader or any other type of softmod). Well, it updated just fine using wii settings as usual update procedure, but during the update it gave me the error 32017, so I followed the "basic" instructions, turned it off and when I turned on again it shows that it was updated to 4.3U normally.

s it correct? I mean, Is it possible that despite the fail message it really updated and all?

This is normal. Make sure u have optimal softmods in place by following a reputable guide like ModMii or wii.guide. These guides will instruct u to make sure u have priiloader installed as well as some system menu hacks enabled, one of which is to block updates

I see, so, it is really on 4.3U now, meaning I can proceed considering as it is. Alright, I will follow these guides then. Thanks!

If it says 4.3U you can be certain it's on 4.3U; what most people don't know is that the number refers only to the wii menu, but the system titles list (on the server) includes IOS (including stubs), the standard channels, hidden channels... and any missing or low-version-number title counts as not up to date

Another important thing to know is that the Wii only runs 1 IOS and 1 title at any single time, so if you are missing something nonessential (or even useless like IOS stubs) it will still have no effect on the actual operation

Got it! Thanks!

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon

    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
