About Wii Firmware Update 3.4 & DLC in World Tour

**BucketheadDscpl**

So I have a modded wii (wiikey 1.9s) and just bought GHWT.
My Wii is still on the 3.2 update so my trucha signed gh3 custom discs still work. I did not plan to update anytime soon but then came update 3.4...

With the Wii 3.4 firmware update, one cannot access the wii shop channel unless they update the said wii... which kinda sucks because now you're facing a tough decision: getting back access to the Wii shop channel and thus allowing you to buy GHWT DLC but doing so, you will lose your gh3 customs in the process...

Questions:

-Am I missing something or everything I said above is true??
-Is there a way around this / what other options can I have?

Thanks in advance guys

I believe you are correct. well, your stuck with two decisions; get rid of your hard work on customs and pay for something; or wait a few months without DLC for the wii ( i know it will hurt) until GH:WT wii is customized. i will happen, give it a few weeks.

you can still sit on 3.2 and get dlc for the wii, you buy it through the game and if you really want the shop channel back you can just use this so you dont have to update

there is also a firmware downgrader, bootable with the homebrew channel, i wont but a link due to modding discussion, but just google it and you should be fine, it downgrades the firmware but keeps channel updates and other things so you shouldnt have a problem, if not try the gecko to boot ur trucha discs, either way, youve got 2 methods, find which is best for you

EDIT: by the way, its probably safer to use Gecko since changing firmware can brick your wii

Homebrew won't brick your Wii I've being using it for a while now.
If you are not FORCED to update your Wii when you insert the GHWT
disc, you should be fine since you buy the DLC from the ingame store.

But, if you need to update, then I suggest you get rid of the Wiikey
and play World Tour, you can always get the firmware downgrader
if you want to go back to your customs, or wait for a homebrew app
to load burned discs comes out.

Also you don't need a DVD to get HBC, you can just wait for the new
Twilight Hack (I assume you have Twilight Princess? If you don't, go
buy it, it's better than... well, anything) which goes around the new update.

If you have an SD card you can load the twilight hack (look up how to get the homebrew channel using the twilight hack because we cant talk about it here) from that to get the homebrew channel, then get the homebrew browser and download Gecko OS, it loads trucha discs (customs) and works with the new 3.4 update or w/e version it is

Safest way to do it and you can stay up with current firmware releases

This is NOT a 3.4 version. It is simply an I0S51. The best way to get around it would be to use
this -->http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Shop_and_IOS51_installer

I think the dude with the tehskeen link posted this.
