Warning about upgrading.

Even though the rules say don't put this in caps i did because its important.


If you have ever updated your firmware not officialy by nintendo do not update through a disc it could cause a semi brick/full brick. You have been warned. Also the above is especialy true for wii sports resort as ive heard reports of it even trying to update on a 4.1 waninkoko wii.

Thanks, Alex.

true it can brick you if its not the correct region. its completely safe as long as you know what region you have and what region the disc is.

No. If you installed 4.1 from waninkoko then upgrade through wiisports it bricks.

You probaly updated officialy, But i have seen this myself firsthand, if you have a official copy of wii sports resort, and put it into a 4.1 firmware waninkoko, It will ask you to update. If you do it will brick.
I was warning you, I don't want a meaningless discussion.
Thanks, Alex. Also I don't post something if im wrong about it.
