My Wii hasn't told me about this update yet. I'm not going to rush it anyway if there isn't anything new feature wise.

I looked into the update for everyone here. Its a WSR (sports resort) fix for the introductory movie and a small system update. Also if you were a person who created your own start menu, that since this is updating the menu, it changes that and thus its gone. After reading peoples opinions in certain places, its safe to update less the system menu update.

Well it looks like I had to get this update sooner than I expected. The shop channel wouldn't let me visit it unless I got the update.

That would bother me. I'd like to think this HDD solution will also extend the life of my Wii having removed the moving parts from the equation.

That is all the argument I need to make me look into the HDD loader for my Wii.
is there an easy(fool proof) step by step instructions somewhere?

any ideas what the next wiiware killer app is besides punch out trainer>?

Stratos · « **Reply #231 on:** July 19, 2009, 06:17:16 PM »

Cave Story probably is the next one.

Night Game also has a lot of potential.

There is also my personal favorite upcoming game.

DO NOT UPDATE AT ALL COST IF YOU HAVE HOMEBREW!!

4.2 is out!

It will delete HBC, BootMii, and most common cIOS { 249 (very commonly used in a lot of apps), 222/223 (Pirating USB2.0 loaders; who cares), 250 (???/backup)}
(Note cIOS 202 (good USB2.0/DVD used for homebrew/mplayer) are safe though)

Still waiting on word for DVDx

I may be forced to install GeckoOS to get these Nintendo games that we keep getting screwed out of here in America. System Updates scare me.

...does it actually do anything useful for non-hackers?

The Wii Shop Channel and menu have been updated. No clue on if there a reason other than to force people to update.....

Better to wait for a just install the new Wii Shop Channel and useful IOS updater...

wow thats fucked.

NeoThunder · « **Reply #237 on:** September 29, 2009, 02:21:31 AM »

I'm not sure if it's deleted off of my system memory, but it's still on my SD card and shows up in the SD card menu...It just tells me that the channel can't be launched on this wii system

KDR_11k · « **Reply #238 on:** September 29, 2009, 05:35:26 AM »

I guess that's no more Wii Shop downloads until the HBC gets updated to fix that. I like my import games.

This probably pissed Nintendo off big time, thanks G4.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #240 on:** September 29, 2009, 02:33:45 PM »

Yeah, homebrew getting mainstream attention is about the worst thing possible. I won't be updating until there's a work around. For the people that have already updated, I think you're screwed, though I haven't seen any mention of the Indiana Pwns hack being blocked.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM BANANAS, PIRATES?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #242 on:** September 29, 2009, 06:02:13 PM »

This update has almost nothing to do with piracy or anti-piracy measures. I suppose it does, but only because it deletes any and all homebrew, apparently.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #243 on:** September 29, 2009, 06:09:11 PM »

I updated last night because I wanted to use the Shop Channel and I figured it would be like all the other updates, not really affecting me since I already had it installed. Oh well, homebrew was nice while it lasted. I had already made the decision, though, that if I had to choose between homebrew and the Shop I'd go with the Shop, so I'm not too upset.

Same, I am not updating either, Nintendo will just lose my Shop business until there is a work around.

You can install the Wii Shop Updater with a program called WSU, I believe. The system menu update isn't required, for the time being, so you can still buy stuff from the service.

Wii Menu version 4.2 is now available for your Wii console. To update your Wii Menu to the latest version, please select the Update button at the bottom of the screen or select the System Update option in the Wii System Settings.

This update provides behind-the-scenes fixes that will not affect features but will improve the overall system performance.

Because unauthorized modifications to save data or program files may impair game play or the Wii console, updating to Wii Menu version 4.2 will also check for and automatically remove such save data or program files.

**Please note: If you've updated your Wii Menu after 9/29/09, you may not need to update again.

Thank you for updating your Wii console!

Nintendo

Blatant lies. It just add a "Check if HAXX or DVDX channel exist" on every wii boot up to go along with "check for hacked zelda save file" in slowing boot up and it waste the internal memory with cheap stub of IOS (which you could always just install as a different number).

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 hence they avoided it).

To update the shop just use

or

*without patching the IOS*

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.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #248 on:** September 30, 2009, 12:16:45 PM »

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

CRY ME A RIVER, ONLINE CHEATERS

kraken613 · « **Reply #249 on:** September 30, 2009, 01:11:53 PM »

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