Yet another updating question

I know this is asked all the time, but I just want to understand completely. I have 4.0U. If I update the normal way, will it affect the homebrew channel or anything homebrew related? Thanks.

Also, wiibrew says "WiiBrew recommends that you do not update your Wii through Nintendo.
However, if you have updated or wish to update, you can use the latest version of the HackMii Installer to regain full functionality." So does this mean 4.2 or whatever the newest version is doesn't block hacking so I could just update and reinstall?

And would it be against the rules if I asked if it affected IOSs? I'm not sure what they are or if I have them. Kinda new to this.

And would BootMii be affected?

There is absolutely no benefit to updating, but it doesn't really matter if you do anyway. If you have the latest version (1.0.6) of the homebrew channel, it won't be deleted. If you have Bootmii installed as boot2, it will be removed, but you can reinstall it.

The update updates or stubs all IOSes, but that doesn't really make much difference. If you have cIOS or any patched IOSes, they will be replaced with stubs or simply updated with unpatched versions. This is not a problem.

Well the reason I want to update is because I just bought Metroid Prime Trilogy and it wants it to update. There's no way of getting around that is there?

You could launch the game through gecko os if you wanted to, but it would be easier to just update.

So just so we're clear, those messages Nintendo pops up warning people with hacked Wiis is just nonsense?

No. At the time, what Nintendo said was true. But since the Title ID for the HBC has changed, the "removal of third party software" is bogus.

Ok thanks everyone. For now I'll use Gecko OS but I may update.

May I ask why?

Install the update. There is NO good reason not to install the update. I can assure you first hand that Metroid Prime Tilogy doesn't have a dangerous update.
