I will do but if I ever do get hackmii to launch should I downgrade back to 4.1 as suggested in 4.3 mod guide or will I be ok to leave it as 4.3 once modded

hi guys. just installed the homebrew chanell on my Wii 4.2E and went through the guide step by step and i cant get my box to recognize any of my backups. any ideas. do i need to go through the process again firstly re-installing the 4.2 firmware safely. (which i dont know how to do) thankx in advance people...

Roryson don't do anything rash like trying to reinstall firmware. If you can be patient someone will give you good advice. You do not want to end up on 4.3 the same as I have because of inexperience/stupidity on my part. You will need to tell the more experienced guys if you are trying play backups from disk or hard drive, how new your console is and whether it is white or black

it could be you have a drive that cant be modded check your serial no here Wii Drive Chip Database if yours is one of those then you will need to run your backups from hdd or usb pen/stick

hi there
my 3.1u wii was soft modded and worked fine. some newer games on usb loader would give oo2 error. my boy got"super mario galaxy 2" for his birthday which upgraded the wii to 4.2e and the usb loader now does not work. i followed the "Wii 4.2E softmod tutorial. Easy to follow guide." my boys have then put super mario galaxy 2 back in and updated, putting me back where i started from. the tutorial says to visit "safe upgrade to 4.2 page" but i can not find it?
a point in the right direction would be greatly apreciated.

many thanks

Hi and thanks to all the experts, but like muddyfunsra, I also was not able to find the "safe upgrade to 4.2 page". Thanks again.
