System Menu 3.2 and BootMii

A couple questions.

Is there any good reason to stay on system menu 3.2 anymore? I have been reluctant to upgrade as I really don't need SDHC support and I am pretty sure that my IOS versions are pretty old, I haven't bought any new games in quite a while. I have been running some games through Gecko to avoid any system updates.

I have BootMii installed as boot 2 and have a backup of my NAND. My BootMii version was from HackMii beta 1. Should I install the latest version of BootMii (I believe it's beta 5) and make another backup? If so, do I have to delete the files on the sd card or can I just install over the one I have?

My homebrew version is 1.03 I believe and I have read that if I choose to upgrade the system menu, I need to install the latest version so I don't lose it because of the title ID change. I'm a little nervous only because I have never used bannerbomb before and everything is working O.K. now. Any input is welcomed, thanks.

You don't need to use bannerbomb, you can just update through the HBC. That will also allow you to install the newest version of DVDX.

BootMii beta 5 can be installed over beta 1, but the 4.2 update removes BootMii if you are using a boot2 version older than v4, which you are. What you should do is make a NAND backup before you update, and install BootMii afterwards.

Thanks for the reply. I may update this weekend after the storms pass, don't want to risk a power loss during updating...
