hi guys. just thought i would let you all know about something i came across today. its called the wii brick blocker. search google. its a patching device that you apply to your downloaded or backed up wii isos that removes the auto mandatory update for your wii. thus no more semi or full bricking of your wii.
WARNING: if you do not use this patch right it will probably brick your wii. a good way to protect and restore your wii from bricks is to install bootmii as boot2 using the hackmii installer. you can download and learn more at bootmii.org
