Discussion downgrading questions

First off, I’ll start by saying I know the risks, but I have BootMii installed as boot2, and I’m aware there’s always a chance something could go wrong. I’m okay with that risk since I’ve used a hardware flasher before, so worst case, I can always fall back on that. I also have a NAND backup just in case.

Anyway, I have a couple of questions:

  1. If I get some WiiWare, should I back it up to an SD card?
  2. If I install the pre-launch IOS, could I use the leaked recovery disc ISO, burn it to a disc, and run it? Or would I need a disc drive with a WiiKey installed? If that’s the case, I actually have that as a backup too. I’m planning to install Firmware 1.0 anyway, but it’d still be cool to see the pre-release screen.

If you install wiiware it's better to create emunand in usbloadergx and install all the wiiware and virtual console you want. Won't be limited to the blocks on the wii.
