System Menu IOS	IOS70
Version History
Preceded by	4.1

Version 4.2 of the System Menu was released on September 28, 2009.

Changes

• Deletes the Homebrew Channel and DVDX.
• Now uses IOS70.
• Wii Shop Channel updated. Use WiiSCU or Wii Shop and IOS61 installer to update the shop channel.
• Most of the IOS's have been updated or stubbed.
• Updates your boot2 to boot2v4, overwriting BootMii/boot2.

What to do

• As far as we know, System Menu 4.2 adds no new functionality. No games, homebrew or official, require System Menu 4.2 to be installed.
• However, the Wii Shop Channel is no longer working on pre-4.2 machines. This includes the free downloads and checking the operations guide on your WiiWare games.
• If you need to update for the above reason, sit tight for instructions. See below - the 4.2 update may even brick a completely unmodded Wii.
• If you have already updated, use Smash Stack, Indiana Pwns or the experimental version of Bannerbomb to run version 0.5 of the HackMii installer.

Affected homebrew

Affected	Effect	Workaround
Bannerbomb v1	Doesn't work.	Bannerbomb v2, Smash Stack, or Indiana Pwns
BootMii	BootMii will be overwritten by boot2v4.	Use HackMii installer v0.5 to (re)install.
cIOS	cIOS locations, primarily the ones used by pirates, are replaced by stubs.	Don't pirate.
DVDX	Removed by the System Menu upon bootup.	Use HackMii installer v0.5 to (re)install. DVDX 2.0 will not be removed by the 4.2 update.
Homebrew Channel	Removed by the System Menu upon bootup.	Use HackMii installer v0.5 to (re)install. HBC 1.0.5 will not be removed by the 4.2 update.
Preloader 0.29	Uninstalled due to a new System Menu. Since 4.2 uses IOS70, Preloader 0.29 will not work properly.	Wait for an update (if Crediar chooses to update it).

Issues

According to bushing, "The [boot 2 update] code [from Ninty] is so buggy that we decided to write our own for the HackMii installer." There are some people who are bricking their Wii as a result of doing a standard update, whether or not they had hacks before they updated. It is therefore highly recommended that you do not upgrade until the ability to install BootMii plus boot2v4 in one go comes to the HackMii Installer.

Also if you have a region converted Wii (for example korean to US) then 4.2 update will brick your Wii. You will get a 003 Error.
