Please move if needed for I don't really know where to put this.
I wanted to check out the Wii Shop Channel cuz I do so about once a week but it says I need to update. How can I get around this & is this even possible to get around? I know updating is a really risky idea (it has a 99.9% chance of permanently bricking your wii from what I hear) & downgrading is not much better. If I can delete the Homebrew Channel & stuff then update I can do so but I'm hoping to not have to delete anything. I've got a 4.3u Wii & I've had one ever since I installed the Homebrew Channel. Please help.
The reason you need to update is so that you have the ability to perform a Wii system transfer to a Wii U. Obviously you're not gonna do that with a hacked Wii.
Updating is a bad idea, the risk of bricking is great. My opinion (and position): You shouldn't and just live with no more Wii Shop Channel. PMing you with additional info.
