so i just received my first wii-clip v4c-9 w/ d2pro pre-soldered from omc. my question is this...
my wii is new, never been hooked up to the television... do i need to hook it up and run it through one time before installing the clip? or can i simply install the clip and then hook up the wii for the first time?
also, i understand that the october 23rd update could render some wii's useless (perhaps i'm wrong about that)... but does that update only affect the softmod? or does it also affect a hardmod like the clip? do any updates affect a hardmod? by the way, i purchased the wii on monday so i seriously doubt it has that update. are wii updates neccessary? i am assuming updates do not automatically install... i am think i get a message asking if i want to install, correct?
i noticed a pic of the v4c-9 w/ d2pro on wii-clipdotcom and it looks nothing like what i received today. here are pics of my clip/chip...
i'm not doubting omc's judgment on this, just thought it was unusual when comparing it to the wii-clip site.
i know i'm asking a lot in one post, didn't want to flood the forum with multiple posts. just curious as i am really excited about getting this started. thanks in advance for any help.
okay, so i went ahead and put the console back together (without installing the clip/chip). i wanted to run the wii through an initial setup so at least i knew if the thing worked. so it's running smooth, wife & daughter are having fun playing wii-sport games.
another question... is there a benefit of adding the homebrew channel alongside my modchip? i am getting the impression by reading various posts here that it could help me recover my wii if it is rendered useless by a future update.
