I am running Wii system version 3.4U. I just purchased Mario Power Tennis and I would like to be able to play it but It says it requires a system update. Will it affect homebrew to do the update? is there an IOS loaded on the CD or does it have to get it from the internet?
I know system 4 breaks a lot of the homebrew stuff. so I don't want to update. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

you can use preloader to use the feature "skip disc update".... im assuming it had the new system menu in the disc.

is there a way to tell what version it's trying to load? as long as it's not loading 4.0 I should be fine with most homebrew items?

The next update after 3.4 is 4.0 (unless you're in Korea, which you aren't). So the disc will have 4.0 on it.

AFAIK, there are no discs currently available that have system menu 4.0 on them. I'm sure Mario Tennis doesnt since it was released before the 4.0 update.

1. AFAIK, there is no way but someone might make it in the near future...
2. AFAIK, yes it seems that way...
