I was worried for a minute then, the day I go buy a classic controller nintendo update their firmware. Luckily it doesnt affect hacked wad files, or else that would have been a waste of money.

The Twiizers Team has fixed the update ;) We have Zelda hack again.

Also… the Nintento update is compiled at 6th March. That’s means the official actualizations must pass a lot of burocracy to be released.

(excuse my poor english ;))

@"the jake": Stop spreading hearsay. The update does not brick Wiis running the homebrew channel. The update does not delete virtual console files. Considering the update contains a "trucha"-bugfixed IOS30 to be used by the current system menu, the fact that IOS37 is supplied is irrelevant.

No, sorry, you have it all wrong. This update does not brick anything, does not do anything with VC warez, and only affects the fakesign bug and the Twilight Hack. We already have a workaround for the latter (should be out soon), and we've had a workaround for the former for a while (more than one, in fact).

The update does not include IOS37 anymore than the older update included it. IOS37 is unused. Instead, they backported the fixed code from IOS37 into the older IOS30 that the system menu used (and still uses). IOS30 is therefore like IOS37 now, but it doesn't affect homebrew at all because already-installed stuff isn't verified and we can install anything using any other nonfixed IOS. Just like I've said about three billion times now, ever since IOS37 came out. Heck, I even tested IOS37 with the System Menu back then and proved that it didn't affect homebrew apps.

This is nothing but a small bump in the road. It will be fixed by, oh, this afternoon.

Please try to get your facts straight next time.

Short version: this does not affect existing homebrew users, and we have working workarounds for new users that will be out asap.

A very small article for a very big news update. Fails to mention that this update bricks some wiis running the homebrew channel (very small chance), and that this update also deletes illegitimate virtual console files. Illegit Wiiware remains untested. The update also include IOS37 which will stop trucha signed code from running, including the datel freeloader. However the update does not use the IOS37, just puts it on your wii, allowing it to be implemented in the near future, effectively eliminating all homebrew.
