new wii, hackmii installation before or after update to 4.2 Hi everybody, just got a wii last week and I really would like to try the homebrew channel and even code some game myself. My wii is currently on version 3.4 and because of newer game and the shop channel I would like to update to 4.2 SO my question is : should I first put HBC with any hack (was thinking of bannerbomb v1) and then update to 4.2 or should I first update to 4.2 and then put HBC vi bannerbomb v2? Note: My wii is brand new and have not been changed (no HBC).

[Instructions]

1. Open the HackMii Installer folder from my Files
2. Copy the following Files into the root of the SD Card (apps, private, wad, boot.elf)
3. Once all of the files have been copied to the root of the SD Card put the SD Card in the Wii
4. Then once the SD Card is in the Wii go to Wii Options
5. Then go to Data Management
6. Then go to Channels
7. Then go to SD Card
8. Once you Click SD Card the file should boot up like a Pop-Up then it will say...


Load boot.dol/elf?

Just updated to 4.2 and installed HBC via bannerbomb v2 and hackmii (last version as of now).

Worked perfectly :)

Thanks for your advices

Use Bannerbomb v2 (it works for the other Wii firmwares). If you wait until after you update, you may need to use DOP-IOS to install HBC. I updated to 4.2 from 4.0 when I got my Wii and installed HBC with no problems, same day I got it.

Updated from 4.2 to 4.0? That'd be a downgrade, and downgrade = bad idea with the Wii

Read it again. I said I did the upgrade TO 4.2 FROM 4.0. Meaning I was at 4.0, then went to 4.2

Sorry, my brain derp'd]]> cactusjack901 Getting StartedSat, 29 May 2010 00:23:18 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,54042,54051#msg-54051 Re: new wii, hackmii installation before or after update to 4.2http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,54042,54051#msg-54051

Do you mean it is better to update to 4.2 before installing HBC (as you did)?

Or no, because "if I wait until after I update", I have the risk of requiring the use of DOP-IOS ?

Thank you for clarifying

Cheers

I, personally, say update to 4.2 first, but it really doesn't matter which order you do it in if you use the latest installer.]]> cactusjack901 Getting StartedFri, 28 May 2010 21:19:22 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,54042,54049#msg-54049 Re: new wii, hackmii installation before or after update to 4.2http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,54042,54049#msg-54049
