Wii update

[joecool]

HI, son not been on his wii for ages but wants to play new sonic racing game. i have a chipped wii done years ago it is on 4.1E and is asking for a system update when i insert the disc. i can update from wi-fi or disc. is it safe to do so? all his other backed up games play fine.
Thanks.

If it's any help I have a wiikey installed and I do updates, must admit i always hold my breath when updating but always seems to be fine. If your unsure then run the iso through a brick blocker first

if you update to 4.2 you will lose multi region compatability,4.1 is the highest update on a disc,so the game might just be wanting to install a iso,if your worried keep wii connect 24 switched off,
what game are you wanting to play?

the game is
Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
Thanks.

if your in any doubt, update to 4.2e and softmod the wii, thats what i did, softmod doesnt interfere with the wiikey as far as i can tell
