So, I have a old wii that my family have had for a while that has Homebrew on it (specifically the channel is downloaded) and a couple days ago i thought i would look through the old stuff and try to update and tweak it a bit but i ran into many problems.

1. Online updates and Internet connection
2. Updating Homebrew channel
3. Overwriting CIos


For online updates and internet I would like to enable internet and download riiconnect and all that but when I go to do so, it prompts me immediantly with a system update, and i choose close so it doesn't do so because i don't want to brick the wii or mess it up as I would like to do everything while keeping as much data as possible. I installed Priiloader and turned on block online updates but I still don't know what to do.

For the updating of Homebrew channel, its running on rev4 and i would have just updated it from the menu but I need internet to do so and would like to know how to o so manually if possible.

When i was going through the homebrew guide and checking whatever i went to download the recommended Cios and there were already slots filled that i needed to overwrite, shoudl I overwrite it or leave it as I don't want any channels or anything to get fucked up.

Throughout this entire process I also want to keep all game data as much as possible.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
