hi everyone,

i have a noob question that probably a lot of people asks before:

1. i have a WII (ntsc-j) that i bought on June 2008.
2. i made a region change from NTSC-J to NTSC-U (i have 3.2U now).
3. i have D2CKEY.
4. i have also gama3 and softmod.
5. i have homebrew 1.01.

i want to update my wii to 4.2U however i heard that a lot of "anyregion change" wii was bricked.
can anyone help in this matter?

thanks

I simply advise not to do this........ If you have Bootmii boot 2 installed and use the safe updater methods you will not have to worry about a brick but you may not be able to use the shop channel.....

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
