My bro-in-law has a new LU72 WII. I want to mod it so he can play isos from usb and play homebrew.

Why would I upgrade it to 4.2 from 4.1?

I have a 3.2 Wii I soft modded and can play every iso including new super mario.

Does 4.2 give you any extra features over 4.1?

I am just scared of losing the ability to play backups or homebrew and emulators if I go to 4.2 as I am a little confused.

There is no advantage between 4.1 or 4.2 firmware.

4.2 was an attempt by Nintendo to block homebrew.
