I bought a Wii last year. I lent it to my friend. I was happy when he wanted to use the TP hack on it to install homebrew, because I like interesting modifications to equipment that I own.
Today my girlfriend's much younger brother came over for the weekend and wanted to play my wii. I blew the dust off it and plugged it in (I have not used it since my friend gave it back in September). Before September it would play my authentic copy of super smash brothers brawl even though it was hacked.
He put in his authentic copy of Wii Sports Resorts today and the disc channel said it needed to update. So I put in smash brothers brawl and the disc channel still asked for an update. The console does not seem to play any disc games. I called up my friend who hacked the system originally and he was not competent enough to answer any questions about what is making this happen or what I should do. I called another friend who told me that my wii would brick if I updated.
I have done some homework, and the writings of a man named bushing have been very helpful. However I still do not fully understand a)the reason that this happened b) and what I should do now. Do I do the Nintendo update, or do I update using something available online?
Thanks for your help!
