and Megaman 9.

Yeah, but FF:MLAAK is a WiiWare game, which is played off of the Wii's internal flash, so there's a small difference.

Doesn't Samba de Amigo access it in-game?

It does Insanolord.

A simple work around to this update has been released. Basically it downloads all the new stuff (the shop and IOS51) and leaves all other IOSs unpatched/unupgraded to still enable homebrew

Doesn't that just contact a server to fetch a list or can you really read the manual without exiting the game?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #181 on:** October 24, 2008, 06:43:48 PM »

Yeah, I'm about to install the modified updater. Silly Nintendo. The thing is, Nintendo could have came up with this a long time ago, but only recently did someone release (and then someone else) a program for loading Wii games via homebrew, thus fucking it up for the rest of us forever. Thanks a lot, assholes.

3.4 came out today, from what I heard it removes all custom channels also there is a new clause in the terms of service.

- Enhanced parental controls
- USB Keyboard support for Mii channel added
- System functions improvement

The new clause: We may without notifying you, download updates, patches, upgrades and similar software to your Wii Console and may disable unauthorized or illegal software placed on your Wii Console to ensure that your Wii Console is operating properly and efficiently, comply with applicable laws, assist law enforcement, protect us and our customers, or prevent the use and distribution of software obtained through improper channels.

Eh that's no good. I haven't updated my Wii since Brawl came so my Freeloader won't be rendered a frisbee (and US Brawl to boot). I guess I'll just have to turn off Wifi or buy PAL Brawl.

Plugabugz · « **Reply #184 on:** November 18, 2008, 06:42:20 AM »

But in this update is there anything useful?

I had to update to get access to the shop channel, and i've lost Brawl. Haven't missed it too much so far but i'll probably have to re-buy the PAL version some day.

Apparently this update improves SD card read/write speed, or so some are saying. I haven't updated yet but WiiBrew is reporting that the update doesn't affect the Homebrew Channel if you've already installed it.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #187 on:** November 18, 2008, 08:07:37 AM »

I guess I'll install the HBC first before updating then. I'm still annoyed that it needs Zelda TP since that's the one Wii game I will never buy. Maybe the rental place has it in stock this time...

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #188 on:** November 18, 2008, 03:15:15 PM »

I'm waiting until a patched version is out, that only updates, and doesn't delete anything. That's pretty shady for Nintendo to update your console without your permission, if they changed the TOS after updating, they could be in some legal trouble. Thank God my power went out the other day, in effect turning off WiiConnect24.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #189 on:** March 25, 2009, 04:21:58 PM »

As I'm sure many of you are aware.There was a major addition to the firmware.
Credit goes to BlackNMild

- Support for up to 32GB SDHC cards confirmed.

- Adds an SD Card menu accessible from the Wii Menu. STORAGE SOLUTION!

- Games transfered to the SD Card can basically be played from the SD Card. They are transfered to the Wii Memory before play, and deleted afterwards. An N64 game takes about ten seconds to load! If you don't have enough room on the Wii Memory, there's an automatic feature that'll transfer games to the SD card for you.

This means there's next to no reason to have VC games on the Wii Memory.

- You can download games directly from Wii Shop to the SD card.

- Save data must be accessed from the main Wii memory.

- The updates adds a "Virtual Console Arcade" menu in Wii Shop, contains a few Arcade games.

- For the homebrewers: According toWiibrew, system 4.0 somehow breaks some homebrew. Wait for a workaround before updating if you're nervous for breaking something.

It breaks the installation of Homebrew only. If you already have HB and DVDX channels you're fine and they will work perfectly!

So... install Homebrew Channel before you do your system update?

wait... you can play DVD movies through the Wii on a DVDX Channel?
please explain how?

stevey · « **Reply #192 on:** March 25, 2009, 07:05:56 PM »

You still play DVD movies in the Homebrew Channel by using a homebrew media player. The DVDX channel is a invisible stub channel that has a "This is an official Nintendo DVD Player channel" flag set that cause the Wii to OK the reading data of DVD disks that homebrew applications call.

Was there a message sent out to Wii systems informing that this update is available? The reason I ask this is because my system isn't bluminated right now and lately I've been wondering if its message-receiving ability is working properly...

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #194 on:** March 25, 2009, 08:43:06 PM »

With past updates I would not get a message from Nintendo until like 9PM ET.

You don't have to wait though, you can update your system right now.

EasyCure · « **Reply #195 on:** March 26, 2009, 09:26:22 AM »

The update email from Nintendo mentioned something about a new version of the wii speak channel, but does it update with the system update?? I was kinda tired when i got the message, and read thru it quickly so i was under the impression it meant i had to update them seperately, but couldn't find anywhere in the Shop Channel how to do that.

help?

Pale · « **Reply #196 on:** March 26, 2009, 09:28:38 AM »

I went into Wii Shop and dled the Wii Speak upgrade, so no, I don't think it happens automatically. I dont' know what the upgrade does though.

And you went to the Channels section right? I remember when updating other channels, you'd go into the channels section of the Shop Channel and it'd let you know an update was available, and you'd redownload/update from there. Wii Speak Channel doesnt seem to have a spot on my "downloaded/downloadable" list though...

Pale · « **Reply #198 on:** March 26, 2009, 09:33:33 AM »

Oh I did it from my "stuff you've downloaded" list, as I noticed it when I was checking to make sure I had all my games on my SD card. It's strange that you don't notice it on yours. Weird.

I'll have to try again later. Did you get Animal Crossing: City Folk and used the download ticket for the Wii Speak channel? I don't know if they ever ended up charging users to download that, but if thats the case then maybe thats the problem..?

I'll update this later if i can figure it out.
