I'm a new user to the Wii (about a month), but after reading as much as I could handle, installed the Home Brew Channel via the Twighlight Hack. I installed it on my 3.4E, but couldn't get the backup loader to open a test backup game. After much reading, I followed a good online guide to downgrade my 3.4E to 3.2E, of which I'm told is the most stable firmware.
After downgrading, my Wii system menu reads 3.2E, which makes me happy, but before progressing any further, I have noticed that if I put in my original bought copy of Wii Fit, the Disc channel says that the Wii needs to perform a system upgrade to play the game.
My question is, do I need to perform this upgrade? If I do, wont the Wii be taken, presumably, right through to version 4.0? I'm worried that if I do this, then I'll be back where I have started from.
Looking for some general advice really. I should note, I don't have a physical mod chip fitted. Cheers, Pete
If the wii fit is new it needs a driver to recognized the board. Make it not a system update. If it runs previously in 3.4u then load and run starfall this will prevent or stop upgrade.
Another method is RIP the wiifit then remove the update.
The Disc channel actually says, "In order to use this software, you must perform a Wii system update". Wouldn't this then update the whole system (ie upgrade the Wii from 3.2 back up to a higher level, 3.4 or higher)??
I might have a try at backing up the Wiifit using the wireless network to .iso approach, and then stripping out the update with the WiiUR_v1.0.exe application.
I'm just curious, really as to what the wii will upgrade to if someone throws in the original disc and performs the upgrade.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it, Mick
As previously said, the wii-fit game has an update that the game needs to play and this will not upgrade your wii's firmware to version 4.0. The update is in the game and doesnt connect to Nintendo over the internet.

I'm going to also assume that this is the same deal with the Sonic game that I purchased. Is there a list somewhere which shows which games do which updates? Cheers, Pete

which one? why not just upgrade to 4.0 and avoid this?

since you are 3.2 to run newer games:
1) upgrade to 4.0
2) install startfall(for 3.2 only)
3) rip the games, remove the update using brickblocker.
- rip can be using USB loader which the easiest part (5 to 40 minutes)
- Wiidumper using your LAN take 3 to 5 hours..
