    Hi guys, I have a softmodded Wii on firmware 4.2 and havent updated as it removes homebrew. I expect most of the newer titles been released before Xmas will require the update to play? Is there anyway around updating? (Im talking about original disks not backups)

    Its only the xbox 360 that requires u to update to play a game except if u have a jtag.
    with the wii u just use an update blocker to remove the update and play away.

    you can play the games through any of the many loader channels, they will bypass the update check, like the NeoGamma channel or my own fave usb loader GX, can read discs also

    Both of those are backup loaders. This thread is very grey area, please keep the conversation within the bounds of the charter.

    could be used for that purpose, nobody mentioned backups, op wants to play his original discs without updating, so i mentioned them,
    its like saying dont mention the homebrew channel, could be used to install backup channels...

    but i hear ya, its grey, but we are keeping it in context

    I think you'll find your interpretation of the charter is somewhat lacking. Here's an excerpt:
    DO NOT DISCUSS HOW TO RUN PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE ILLEGALLY - THIS INCLUDES LOADERS/FLASH CARDS/MODIFIED CODE ETC

    If this thread mentions the above one more time I'm locking it. And iPwnage, don't question my moderation decisions/methodology on thread. Pm me if you have an issue please. That in itself can get you into trouble.

    Pimp my Wii is a dangerous program, you can easily brick your Wii with it!

    I use Priiloader to block those pesky on disc updates

    I would recommend you to buy a pre owned wii and see can you install bootmii (new wiis do not work with bootmii) on it since if your console gets bricked you can recover it easily :)
