So 4.1 is out, and people are getting scared, but honestly... This update is a good thing!

Nintendo has released official WiiFirmware v4.1 in North America. This update is apparently safe to install, as it is a bugfix whereby if a VC/WiiWare game is played from SD, and then Wii Sports Resort is played, it forces you to watch the motionplus tutorial, although it was meant to be only watched once, on the first run.

Here is the run down, if you do the official update to 4.1 you pretty much won't see a difference in your HomeBrew. Some people have reported that their Wii will not accept Trucha Signed games after updating to 4.1 Well... Here is your fix!

Run this installer, and you will get all the good things about 4.1 and avoid the bad.
There are some things to note, just for safety.
- If you have a Wii Theme installed, it is suggested to revert back to the original Wii theme, it can result in a Simi-Brick. The reason for this, the custom theme you have installed is meant for 4.0 or whatever FW you are on. Updating to 4.1... Well you get the idea. You have a theme that is not meant for 4.1
- It is suggested to remove any GameCube Controllers or Memory Cards
- Do not turn off the Wii in the middle of the install. (DERP DERP)
- No matter how much you hate the color Grey, please control yourselves from ripping the power cord from the socket during the install.
All you need to do is update using the normal Wii update. Run IOS60patched.wad and run IOS Downgrader again if you want IOS patched to allow trucha Signed disc.
Larry i took the easy way out for fear of messing up and used the auto updater from wanikos.
All seems well.. thank you all.
Im not to sure if I have any trucha Signed discs? or need this larry it doesnt ring any bells from when i first modded the wii from 3.4 to 4 using cIOS rev 9 at the time and your turotial with the twighlight hack and the october 23rd fix.
It doesn't look like the 4.1 update bothers IOS60. I had the patched IOS60 on 4.0U. I updated to 4.1 using the official update and the SD menu would still run wad installed games.
I did have to run IOS downgrader again. I also had to patch the MIOS again.
