    Safe to update ?

    I've got an early Wii (D2B I think) which I hard-modded with YAOSM.
    I haven't upgraded the wii firmware for probably a year, but the latest games I've tried have always tried to perform a system update (which I didn't do).
    I've tried brickblocker, which allows the game to start, but it then goes to a black screen and the controllers turn off.

    I'm only interested in playing games, but is it "safe" to allow it to update the firmware ?
    I think I'd prefer to keep what games I've got working rather than risk them all not working.

    Thankyou.

          It doesn't appear to have been supported for a while. The last version looks as though it's 3.2, from May 2008. Which I'm sure is what I'm using.

          I mounted the chip on the rear of the box so it would be easy to reprogram ... but there doesn't seem to be anything to program it with !
          Even wiifree hasn't been updated for over a year.

          Maybe I'll have to start looking into softmods.

          Regards.
