Thread: Wii Firmware Update 3.3

Since the workaround has been posted, I've updated my tutorial for the WAD Installer. The thread is in the tutorial board!

So its safe to update a modded wii with wiikey chip or that doesnt matter...

yeah it 100% safe to update to 3.3

Greetings all.

I updated to 3.3U from 3.1U. After the upgrade, HBC and WADs previously installed still work nicely. However, some of my backup games cease to work!

Just prior to the update i was playing Pro Evolution Soccer 08, right after the update it just wouldnt work. A black screen with white text would appear saying error and that i've got to eject the disc and restart wii. I restarted and pop the disc back in, now it says system files are corrupt.

So right now I can only play parts of my games collection while others I cant. Original games are working fine tho. My Wii menu is still accessible and there are no duplicate wii channels. Btw, I'm using a D2D mod chip.

Just thought I would share. Any idea what i'm experiencing? :O

was to lazy to type what i mean by signed disk is below



To scrub a wii disk means to delete all the garbage data in the iso, so that it can be compressed to a smaller size.

To patch updates from a game use brick block/wui/wum

To region patch a game use regionfrii/wiu

i personaly use wui and have no problems it has a region patcher and a brick blocker

Where can wui be found. Did try googling but that did not help at all.

that is because they are most likely trucha signed and will need geckoOS to work

Hey jebise101,

Thanks for the tips! I'll go google abt geckoOS then

Hi guys, where can i get a SOLDERLESS modchip and which one should i get? I have a european wii that was bought on the 29th of February 08, i know where to get the screwdrivers to open my wii, I have the 3.3U update.
Also what are all these risks with the new update? Ive herd some backups dont work. And what are the risks of playing backups? I am hearing all the time about semi-bricked wiis and bricked wiis. What are the precautions i can take?

Thanks guys
