Apparently, the updates aren't working yet, but Internet Channel USB Keyboard support is in. Plus you can send clickable links to people through the Message Board.

More as it hits.

Oooh, nice, now I can send Message Board Viagra spam

Don't forget to go to the Wii Shop and update both the Internet Channel and the Everybody Votes Channel.

I wonder if the update does more than mentioned.

I think this may be one reason I have not given out my Wii-mail code very much.

what was updated about the everybody votes channel?

MarioAllStar · « **Reply #4 on:** October 10, 2007, 03:49:19 AM »

Check the announcement on the front of the Wii Shop Channel. It mentions something about being able to view more statistics in nationwide results or something.

I tried my USB keyboard and it still only works when composing a message, not all over the Wii Menu.

Similarly, the new Internet Channel only lets you type addresses and into forms, but there's no way to navigate the pages, aside from scrolling with arrows. Heck, you can't even press "Enter" to submit the URL you just typed--you have to go back to the Wii Remote.

It's a step though, and I'm sure forum-goers will appreciate it.

Its painful to use the wii-mote to type in long addresses or text stuff, so this is indeed good.

But is this all the update does? I imagine if there is anything else, it would probably be some bug fixes or further efforts to frustrate modders and so on, and they won't announce that.

Since you have to switch back to the Wiimote to click on links on the new page you're going to, I don't consider it a problem that pressing Enter doesn't go to the URL you typed. The update for the Everybody Votes channel was to allow you to use the keyboard when submitting new questions. Also, I believe ctrl+c/ctrl+v/ctrl+a will cut/paste/select all now I haven't tried it, so I may be wrong.

it was probley something to do with online play. Kinda like the Code of Conduct on Xbox Live that says you can't be a dick and screw around with the connection and cheat

....Just a guess though

Ha, I thought I would be the only person who would care about the licensing agreement being changed. I read through most of it and it all seemed pretty standard, but since I do not remember anything about the old one I could not tell you if anything had changed to begin with.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #11 on:** October 11, 2007, 08:20:10 AM »

I read the first coupe paragraphs, then noticed how small the scroller was, and said "eff this" and just agreed to it.

yeah im always into reading the fine print. i read that whoooooooooooooooole thing the first time because you just never know. stuff like "nintendo has the right to discontue service without notification or reinbursment(sp?)" is stuff i wanna know. waht if i have like 5000000000000 wii points on there and they decide to just stop offering downloads all together? i cant really say "hey tahst not fair, give me my money back for all those wii points i bought!" since i agreed to their terms of service.

EasyCure can read....CONFIRMED.

mantidor · « **Reply #14 on:** October 11, 2007, 02:03:26 PM »

I would read those things but I know the internet will tell me if there's something I need to know there.

IceCold · « **Reply #15 on:** October 11, 2007, 05:17:10 PM »

Did the internet tell you that Nintendo has the right to keep track of your cookies and activity on the Opera Browser?

EDIT: I guess it did now

anubis6789 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 11, 2007, 08:57:11 PM »

Nintendo can also brick your system if you use any unauthorized modifications, or, and it did get kind of muddy right here, even unlicensed accessories, with your console.

At least that is how I read it.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #17 on:** October 11, 2007, 10:46:38 PM »

I read through the agreement but couldn't figure out what was changed. Same old "if you sell your Wii you must delete all data" and "Nintendo can update any part of your system at any time they want without asking you" clauses. Though I noticed the NoE website terms include "You are required to make regular backups of your harddrive".

Confirmation of HDD support?

In what sense do you mean? Bluetooth keyboards don't work. A wireless usb keyboard will. USB ports don't discriminate between a usb wireless keyboard and a usb wired keyboard. The port doesn't even know the difference.
