Wii firmware update 3.4

erotaki · 12-04-2008, 11:53 PM

Hello. I want to update my Wii firmware to the last one (I think it is 3.4) and I want to know if it will be any problem with loading my backups through the disc channel (normal backups, not modified). My current configuration:

- Wii firmware version: 3.3E
- Controller serial: GC2-D2C
- Modchip: Wasabi V3
- Channels: Only official channels (no homebrew nor unofficial)

I am also planning to upgrade my Wasabi firmware to 1.4 before update the Wii firmware (I suppose it is the best option).-

Thanks in advance,
Alex

you can and have no problem, but my advice is not to lock yourself out, and make a choice you might regret later on, but if you really dont see a point that will work fine

I have done it yesterday. No Problems. Same Hardware.

i also just did this last night. but i was forced into it. I had a d2e drive that would only eject the games halfway of the drive. once i updated to 3.4u the drive worked great!. Its the v3 wasabi soldered in not clips. version 1.4 update on it.

Do you know if the "Update & Configuration Wasabi disc 1.4 Beta" runs normally from the disc channel on firmware 3.4 version?

people say it works, but you can simply try, in theory it shouldnt, unless you patched the bug

interesting , ive noticed a lot of people claiming updating to 3.4 fixes their chip eject issues.

You are certain. The upgrade I proposed works well. I have tested it for 2 days and all backups and functions work OK. The steps I have followed:

- Step 1: Update Wasabi firmware to 1.4 Beta

- Step 2: Update Wii firmware with Animal Crossing disc (to 3.3)

- Step 3: Update Wii firmware through Internet (to 3.4)

All backups and channels work well (including Animal Crossing). Thank you very much for your help.-

I have Wasabi v3 with 1.4 upgrade and since I updated my firmware to 3.3U, some of my games would stop working every once in a while and the only way to get it going again is to eject and reinsert.

Then when I updated it to 3.4U, games like Mario Kart no longer works!

This is the explanation by Wasabi support team:

-------
Maybe the backup your are using have been altered by software like TRUCHA and since the upgrade 3.3 from NINTENDO there is no more possibility to use TRUCHA or similar tools so you should try to verify if the backup is not the cause of your problem or simply try with different media or burner.
-------

Does anyone know any workaround to get my games to work again? I tried downloading someone else's copy, but that didn't work either.

Thanks!
