I would've never thought that Nintendo would allow that so soon.

...I hate you.

I think he just heard it over on Gamefaqs, which is the only other place I could find mention of HDD support, and I think he just wanted to be the first to say something without checking it out for himself. I do not think that BlackNMild2k1 had any malicious intent and should be forgiven...

Unless he did find a way to do it, in which case I want to know how.

How dare you accuse me of recycling garbage from GameFAQs. I would only visit that site if I was in dire need of help in a game and none of you were of any use.

And all you hate just makes Leonidas all the more happy (as if that was possible)

Mama mia, that is a wonderfully frightening picture. Update: nothing. I've had it on for an hours stretch, and it's still a black screen. But keeping at it; positive thinking!

The whole freeloader thing doesn't bother me much, my Gamecube is sitting at work with naruto accompanying it. I love lunch breaks

Yeah but it's annoying for those of us who have limited room near our home entertainment centers. =(

I'm surprised that no one else has reported on this. I've read about the update, but unless i'm blind no one has reported that AOSS is now an option for setting up your internet connection. If you've got a Buffalo router it's a really handy feature.

Ghisy · « **Reply #55 on:** August 08, 2007, 05:04:27 AM »

Didn't think of looking through the internet settings since I use the USB/ethernet adapter.
I'm still bummed by the whole AR/Freeloader thing but I still have my GC so it's not the end of the world...

i was curious so i checked, but i dont have it. wonder what that coudl be.

also, i still cant connect online with my wii after this update took place. i checked the connection settings and they're just as they were before but my connection test keeps failing. i have no idea what to do, and i cant check out what my error codes mean since i keep getting errors on nintendos site. actually, i know waht two of the three error codes i've been getting mean (54121 and 52121.. i think) but i noticed i got this 51420 also (confused it for 54121) so i have no idea what it is or what lame suggestions nintendo will give me.

this sucks, hard.

I looked up 51420 for you:

Quote
Error Code: 51420

The Wii console is not able to connect to your wired router or modem.

1. Make sure that you are using the Wii LAN Adapter made by Nintendo (click here for a picture and connection steps). LAN adapters not made by Nintendo likely will not work with the Wii console.

2. Ensure that the Wii LAN Adapter setup is correct, and that the Wii LAN Adapter was connected with the console turned off. For step by step connection instructions, please click here.

3. Check to see if the ethernet cable you are using is not working properly, by connecting another ethernet cable from your router/modem to the Wii LAN Adapter. If the connection works using a different cable, then the problem was with the first cable.

4. If possible, try another Wii LAN Adapter. If you are unable to try another Wii LAN Adapter, or are still receiving this error code, please call 1-800-255-3700 for assistance.

Yeah, I do have it.

Wonder what the deal with it is...

Your Wii will self-destruct in an explosion of lime jello.

Ghisy · « **Reply #61 on:** August 08, 2007, 08:36:15 AM »

Nope, I checked and I don't have the "???" file.

thanks Partybear, i appreciate the help.

i wrote this in the talkback thread about the update, but i'll repost it here; its too inconveniant for me to try out a different cable, since the one im using stretchest 100' from the router to my wii, and discconnecting/reconnecting it to the television in here is more trouble than its worth.

i dont think the problem is with the cable itself though since its only about a month old. everything was working fine until the morning i checked the update. before i even turned on the wii i had noticed my cable tv wasnt working, which meant my internet wasnt working either so i knew i couldnt update right away. when things started to work and i updated,t he cable went out in the middle of it so i had to wait and restart (had no choice but to turn the power off since they dont give you the option of aborting updates). in a few minutes the cable was back up and running fine, i was able to connect to the internet to download the update (even though the wii settinsg screen already said v3.0..) entirely.

once it was finished i went into the forecast channel to see if anything was different, then the news. thats when i got an error message saying i needed to connect to the internet.. even though i was just connected while downloading the update. since then i've had trouble getting online. the weird thing is when i power down my system the yellow "wiiconnect24" light is on, as opposed to the red light that indicates the system is offline.

Ghisy · « **Reply #63 on:** August 08, 2007, 08:55:49 AM »

Well, I got the same error when trying to connect to the internet.
I just went to the wii settings and set my connection as wired again (connection #1 on my Wii) and it worked.
So it seems like you just have to tell the Wii again what's the default connection and that should do it.

thats the first thing i tried actually, i even made a new connection that is exactly the same as the other wired connection to test that out and i keep getting the same three or four error messages.

EasyCure · « **Reply #65 on:** August 08, 2007, 09:35:20 AM »

Somehow got everything working. I just disconnected everything else from my network until the wii went online then plugged it all back in.

Mikintosh · « **Reply #66 on:** August 08, 2007, 02:23:00 PM »

So I'm guessing nobody else has had their Wii completely broken by this? Aren't I the lucky one!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #67 on:** August 08, 2007, 04:48:48 PM »

Sorry.

I'm holding off on updating for another week to ensure all the problems have been identified. Just like how you shouldn't install Microsoft's XP patches right away.

NeoThunder · « **Reply #68 on:** August 09, 2007, 02:22:45 AM »

I saw an article on Digg.com that said the update added some USB keyboard support. The support doesn't apply to all keyboards and doesn't work in the internet browser, rumor is there will be an updated version of the internet browser that will allow USB keyboard support

That isn't new. I'm really not sure about whether the color is any different.

I gave it a try last night with a spare USB keyboard I had laying around. I like it so much I plan to pick-up a USB extension cable when I step out for lunch in a little while.

NeoThunder · « **Reply #71 on:** August 09, 2007, 06:05:19 AM »

is it kinda just like a basic keyboard?......i want to get one but i don't want to keep messing around going back and forth to the store getting keyboards that don't work. I wana have an idea of what WILL work.

Do you think any wireless keyboards will work......Gotta keep the wireless thing going, haha

Pale · « **Reply #72 on:** August 09, 2007, 06:05:47 AM »

has anyone tried a wireless keyboard yet?

Haven't tried wireless, though I saw it mentioned elsewhere (Kotaku, maybe) that someone tried a bluetooth keyboard and it worked.

Anyways, THIS is the keyboard that I tried last night and it worked flawlessly.

Haven't heard of any wireless ones working yet. Though I am really tempted to try. I'll grab my parent's wireless and bring it home to see if it works one of these days.
