how do i do the update. the guy that did our mod chip said to get the latest wii music that has the latest update on it ..i have downloaded this wii game however am afraid to do it should i go hire it and do it that way or are you better updating some other way.

Well first off, wii music no longer as the latest update on it. The newest update is 3.4 and is so far only available online as far as I know.

Anyway, so long as you dont do homebrew and the game you're updating from is from your wii's home region its safe to update. Many of the newer firmwares have messed with homebrew in various ways, but there are workarounds now if you do run any homebrew.

Bricking only occurs with out-of-region games and no firmware to date has managed to interfere with the ability of a modchip to boot an unmodified game backup.

And homebrew is any sort of programs un-endorsed by nintendo. Some of the most common homebrew programs are things like emulators, which let you run classic game roms from the wii's SD card slot instead of having to buy them from the virtual console. As you might guess nintendo has been trying pretty hard to shut that down.
