I'm almost 100% certain you have to downgrade. Even if you don't, the benefits of doing so are rather nice and I don't know why you'd rather stay on 3.4.
Ah, someone that almost 100% certain. This is good.
I originally just want to see if it were possible to play backups with out modding the machine. I installed the Homebrew Channel. It was a frustrating experience because many told me the wrong thing, sent me to the wrong files and generally had no clue.
but i have the Homebrew channel running. But i cant seem to load .wad files with the loader, therefore i cant seem to run the backup loader which is all i want to try.
I dont mind trying software that installs as a save file, runs a program that perhaps defeats the id check on dvd discs, but, whether i want to trust people and hacked software,
to downgrade the wii system files, are another story. So im not sure i am going any further. What ive seen so far has not exactly inspired confidence.
Thanks for the reply.
It's just when you really decide not to downgrade, then please don't bug around with "i can't do this, i can't do that, everybody gives me shitty tips", because with 3.3v2 or 3.4(*edit: without a installed cIOS) you can't install cIOS files, you can't install wads and nearly all tips people will give you won't work for you.
Wow, kind of a double negative run on sentence with tech nomenclature.
I havent decided anything. Look i apologize for being pissed. Most of my misinformation came from other places, not here. When i started here, i saw it happening all over again, and im losing my grip.
I havent decided anything. It took this many posts to come to the conclusion, that with 3.4 and Homebrew installed, i may (near 100% sure) have to downgrade the wii system files in order to run a backup loader.
Then im not sure if the backup i burn has to be done on one of four LG models at high speed, or 2x etc etc.
So im not sure if i will downgrade system files, im not into hacking just for hacking.
to answer your question, i dont know. I had hoped that maybe it was a mini operating system that ran from a sd card, within a channel of the wii,therefore not dangerous to the wii system files.
thanks for your help.
