I ordered a wasabi zero....been reading since xmas on here and still don't completely understand , if i install my chip do i still need homebrew installed or is that just for softmod ? basically what i'm asking is it as simple as installing wasabi zero and playing backups ? There is so much info on here the more i read the more i confuse myself.

its up to you lol a LOT of chip users use it for a few reasons

Starfall prevents bricks
if you update out of region you can fix it
you can block updates *old chips can do this now*
you can install wads, IE wiiware, VC titles, and IOS's
you can keep firmware 3.2 *3.3+ stops fake signed games, IE scrubbed, brick blocked, and regionfrii*
some titles dont boot with a chip and they use gecko OS
error 002 fix
3.4 allows them to auto update you, so then you can avoid that
and finally cheating

Cool... so homebrew is optional if you are chipped . What about my 3.1 firmware on my Wii , should i run the wasabi chipped wii with 3.1 FW , i see lots of talk about downgrading but not upgrading, and wouldn't you have to be connected to the net to take an update unwillingly ?

That would be great to know, I *JUST* installed a Wasabi Zero solder version. The LEDs are correct but the WII is running ver 3.1U

How do I upgrade to just 3.2?
