The best thing is I almost got duped into installing this update. I went to look at the Wii Shop because they were pimping "You, Me, and the Cubes", and it said I needed to update the Wii Shop Channel. It then went to full-on system update mode, so I turned off the system.

You, Me and the Cubes is pretty interesting. Just sayin'.

There are a lot more reasons for homebrew than piracy or cheating. You can't seem to comprehend that though....

Stuff I already do on my laptop?

Having all your games you buy backed up on a HDD and play them without using disks?

Import games?

Well, the update has been defeated - http://hackmii.com/2009/09/silly_games/. If you wish to update, use the new HBC/DVDx installer first, unless you don't care about this stuff.

Oh yeah, if this update is offensive to onrine game hackers, I'm all for it.

CRY ME A RIVER, ONLINE CHEATERS

The update does absolutely nothing in that regards

Quote from: stevey on September 30, 2009, 12:23:18 AM

Worst yet, it's the first time Nintendo has updated Boot2. So if you have an old Wii, even without bootmii or homebrew, there is a chance that you might get bricked because updating is not well tested by Nintendo and the update function frankly sucks (and hence they avoided it).

and so it begins http://techforums.nintendo.com/nins/board/message?board.id=wii_tech&thread.id=29914

If it bricks the systems of WFC hackers (just for having a haxxed Wii), then it does plenty.

kraken613 · « **Reply #257 on:** September 30, 2009, 08:43:44 PM »

Anyone who hacks online games is smart enough not to update....

My discs are fine, and I don't want my Wii taking up more space plus the added cost of an external drive.

Marked-up import games aren't that attractive to me. It's not like Shenmue II DC that never made it to the USA.

Not sure what stevey uses it for, maybe it's just more reliable than his laptops.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #259 on:** September 30, 2009, 09:28:57 PM »

Let's not forget all the cool independent apps and whatnot. It's worth hacking the Wii for the head tracking demo alone. This update really does nothing (and doesn't attempt to either) to stop online cheaters. It will potentially brick people's consoles and drive up Wii sales, however.

Americans, eh? Import games are cheaper than local games over here and I think we all know about the horrible treatment PAL is getting.

We are worlds apart.

And this recurring update-borking issue is also the reason I wait several weeks to do any update, despite no-haxor no-hombruu, to wait for the fallout to settle and see what the responses are.

Windows Updates, I run once every couple months (anti virus, even less). None of this surprise MS Office borking and no background process downloading for me.

this is the first time i'm actually scared to update. I'm at the dorm so i am not connected online. However I am going back next weekend, so I could update. I never ever done any hacking or anything with my Wii.

I've been a good boy and I would hate for my Wii to break for something like this.

Hey does anyone know if this update is the same one that comes on the Guitar Hero 5 disc? I finally had some time to play it yesterday with my girlfriend but the second I saw I needed to update, I turned the system off. I didn't even know 3rd party games could include updates with them.. and because the new update from nintendo is in regards to the shop channel, I'm only assuming that the GH5 update is the same one (some sorta dlc update?). Any verification would be appreciated though, in the meantime I'll be backing up all my saves.

how does things work ?

is the firmware update pre-installed into the disk and not allow you to play the game unless you have it. so if your firmware is already up to date, it does not activate.

or does it check for the firmware and force your wii to connect online and update ? the only thing on the disk is to code to force it to happen.

The update is on the disc. If it just forced you to go online to update that would screw over anyone who doesn't have their Wii connected to the internet.

Which is currently my situation; my wii is offline and that was the case i'd be PISSED. Okay, maybe thats a little too harsh, I'd definately be annoyed cuz its a hassle to get my wii online with my current set-up.

I finally got off my ass and did some research, looks like all it does is allow the wii to accept those high capacity SD cards so I can move my GH:WT songs over to GH5. I'm currently running Ver. 4.1U while the GH5 update is supposedly just v4.0u (according to the post i've read elsewhere), so nothing to fear right? Maybe i'll just back up my save files anyway...

How many reported cases of that are there? It seems like that's just something that the Internet is blowing way out of proportion.

Right, and I'm saying that isn't something he should be worried about.

This. It might be something thats blown out of proportion but theres a small chance of it happening is still something to worry about when I'd never be able to re-play some of these games and achieve that former glory.

Mop it up · « **Reply #274 on:** October 04, 2009, 02:03:41 PM »

Yeah, that would be a bummer. And it does seem like you have some bad luck when it comes to the Wii, so I hope it isn't a problem for you.
