Wii 3.2 or Wii 4.3?
December 10, 2011 07:57PM
Hello,

i'm totally newbee here. I have read the main tutorials and before starting the installation of homebrew channel i have a general question regarding the best (if there is one) Wii version to use.

My Wii is on an old version, 3.2e, and i could use bannerbomb. Is there any advantage in updating to 4.3 and using letterbomb before installing of the homebrew channel?

Also, how can i found out about the version of the DVD drive (e.g. D3-2)?

Thanks in advance,
x70

The advantages of upgrading: you get the latest official features (e.g. loading channels from SD card, SDHC support in System Menu), won't be prompted to update when playing games, easy access to Shop Channel without complicated workarounds

Disadvantages: small chance of bricking (due to the fact you are updating system software)

The chance of bricking is very slim, in my opinion the benefits outweigh that risk.

Disadvantage: you cant play any of those old custom games (all those guitar hero 3 & singit custom games) without installing a cIOS - which is discouraged by these forums.

Disadvantage: the rebooter and ability to launch channels in geckoOS will be removed, unless you install a cIOS - which again, is discouraged on these boards.

Solution to first disadvantage: all those things should now be possible with Riivolution seeing as they were just file replacements. Dunno if there are ready-made patches for those games, but it would not be hard to craft one based on the methods used in the old tools.

You asked about loading games from a hard drive. That isn't "worded wrong", that is blatantly against the rules. If you want our help, you need to tell us what it is you want help with. (After removing your rule violation from your post, you don't actually specify what you want help with)
