What If Something Happens to My Console?
If something like this happens to you, you can use the below method to patch the Wii’s System Menu so games stop bothering you to update them before they’re playable. You can keep the Homebrew Channel without having to update those titles.
How to Work Around System Updates on a Homebrewed Wii
The easiest way to workaround system updates, if your Wii is running System Menu 4 or higher, is to use StartPatch. Otherwise, StarFall should be used for version 3.2. These applications can apply various hacks to your Wii, including one that allows you to play import games and another that turns off the annoyingly repetitive system menu background music. There is also a hack that prevents the Wii from checking to see whether a game disk includes a system update. Use StartPatch or StarFall to install this hack and you won’t have game disks insisting on updating before you can play them.
