Beware: Everything installable with this installer works with every system menu version, you do not have to update to v4.2! We even advise you not to update!

The first reports about bricks due to this official boot2 update are reported on [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register]. Replies, which Ninty doesn’t like, are getting [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register]. Anyway, it’s up to you if you want to risk it.

If you already updated to v4.2, this version is the only one that works. If you don’t have HBC installed, use e.g. Indiana Pwns to launch this installer.

If you want to update to v4.2, you should install HBC before updating. Because of the new title IDs, the HBC and DVDX version from this installer won’t get deleted on v4.2. Installing the new HBC before updating ensures that you have a working HBC afterwards.

If you updated to v4.2:

* BootMii/boot2 was wiped only if your boot2 version was v2 or v3. Just reinstall it.
* BootMii/IOS will still be there.
* DVDX got deleted, reinstall it.

General advice: Don’t use some random update application, just update through the system menu if you really want to update.

General note: If you install anything with this installer version, update all the components you have already installed. E.g.: BootMii required some changes too, so the HBC with the new title ID gets loaded.

Note about DVDX enabled applications: Because of the new title ID, all current applications will fail to load DVDX. libogc needs additional code that checks for the new title ID. All DVDX enabled apps need to be recompiled afterwards.

Because Ninty fails to deliver new features with the latest update, I guess we have to compensate for that. Focus on this release are the promised improvements for HBC.

If I have a fresh virgin wii updated to latest fm 4.2e. Is it too late to still install homebrew and other mods? All im really after is to play xvid files from my external onto my wii and play downloaded games. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

hbc, boot2 done !
4.2x, no !

tonnic

So I shouldn't follow your guide if I have 4.1U installed?.

billyhome

if u got no hbc at 4.1u, go along hackmii_v0.5, play the title ID trick.

if u got hbc at 4.1u already and care of hbc only, update hbc to 1.05 is equvalent. othrewise, hackmii_v0.5 is ur guide

tonnic

I have a wiikey2 and 4.1U with no HBC. Is there a guide somewhere for hackmuu v0.5 title ID trick?.

I'm pretty new at this. ;P
