    Default system update and softmod

    i'm new to softmoding the wii but have just done ours using xbox4life's tut in the sticky ( cheers bud ) and all went smoothly
    the fimware version of the wii is ver 3.1E ( after softmod ) so it looks like it's never been updated
    what will hapen if i update the firmware via the system update and what do i need to do to make sure i don't end up with a brick if i do decide to update
    is there any advantages to updating firmware in the firstplace or am i better of leaving alone

    any help would be appreciated

    You should be ok, to play newer games you will need to update anyway, its possible to rollback firmware also, just make sure your updating from PAL games or you can brick it with NTSC updates on PAL Box.

    could always back your wii up with bootmii also!

    maybe somebody else can confirm

    Could update from their network, this would obviously not brick your wii, and then downgrade the FW again. Had to do this for newer games in the past.
