@kyler247 As someone who dealt with Wii h*cking in the past, you can't downgrade the firmware lower than what your console was shipped with. Otherwise, you'll risk bricking your system. I.e. if you're console was shipped with version 4.3U, you can't downgrade to version 3.8U

As a fun fact, when I installed 1.0U in the Dolphin emulator, I installed a VC copy of Mega Man X via a wad file (using Dolphin's own UI while the "Wii" was "off"). Despite Dolphin having said it was successful, it didn't show up on the Wii Menu at all. Honestly I forgot about it until I copied the emulated Wii's storage so I could update three of them to the different major revisions (i.e. a 1.0 Wii, a 2.x Wii, a 3.x Wii and a 4.3 Wii) so that I could explore the history of the Wii Menu. What happened to remind me? Mega Man X suddenly appeared on the Wii Menu as soon as it was updated to version 2! Apparently it really had installed just fine, but 1.0 just didn't display its tile! I wonder why?

Probably because all VC titles required at least version 2.0 to run. This is a fairly common thing nowadays on modern consoles. Like for example, many PS4 games require a minimum version number in order to run. Actually I’m pretty sure there is no PS4 game that could run on the 1.0 version

It appears that "ねとちめ" (pronounced "netochime") doesn't seem to be a standard Japanese word or expression. It seems to be a user-created label for the Nintendo Wii. Unfortunately, without further information or context, it's challenging to determine the specific meaning or origin of this particular nickname. It could be a personal or creative choice made by the user who configured the settings for that specific console.
