    good info sinno, my wii usually asks me before it updates, so i presume it will again this time, also i have knocked off the connect 24, so i presume this will block it in case anyone else is using my wii??
    i bow to your knowledge sinno, THANKS for sharing

    if you are getting one at xmass axxxo it will more than likely contain the new motherboard that wont allow backups to be played in the drive,you will be able to run them off the usb thou

    Hi Wheelo
    I dont think the hardmod is necessary yet and i dont know yet if its been tested on the newer wii's
    I'm very happy with the softmod,and i'm sure there is a way around all that is thrown at it

    4.2 is now a distant memory,the anti homebrew attempt by nintendo has been completely circumvented by the wii genius's
