Will I still be able to play Smash, Mario Kart etc over Wifi without updating?

Sure.

That's got me thinking. What if when you connect Nintendo game servers your wii get updated to 4.2 ?
What if you talked to a psychiatrist and he puts you in a straitjacked because of your rampant paranoia?

Ah, how Ninty's releasing good-for-nothing firmwares again. People who don't know about Wii hacking will probably think: 'Now WTF did this update? I don't see anything different

Quick question about getting preloader .30 on 4.2 also assuming we'll have a dol to install with not just net update. It seems risky possibly feasible only if you have bootmii boot2)

Manually install the wads

Power down....hold breath, piss pants whatever....

Boot into boomii then direct to HBC or cboot2 assuming there is an install dol for preloader .30 to execute via cboot2 or HBC take your pick

Install preloader

Pray it is still defaulted to autoboot to preloader apply the hack and done

I just find it funny it was rolled out on Yom Kippur - the Jewish day of atonement.
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur :
QUOTE said:
Yom Kippur is the tenth day of the month of Tishrei. According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into a "book" on Rosh Hashanah and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict. During the Days of Awe, a Jew tries to amend his or her behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God (bein adam leMakom) and against other human beings (bein adam lechavero). The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside for public and private petitions and confessions of guilt (Vidui). At the end of Yom Kippur, one considers one's self absolved by God.

Wonder if someone at Nintendo has a sense of humour.

Perhaps but there's no room for humour with the religion of violence (or with a broken Wii!

Whoops did I quote that?

Edit: You see what I really hoped to accomplish was that some more people can feel my pain.
I don't know. The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear of a new update is to NOT update.

Man, I just sold my Wii so I could get a new one at the new price point.

Here in Europe the price cuts will go live October 2nd and I think I'll wait until then to get it at the new price. Or should I buy one now to be sure I don't get 4.2 on it? What do you guys think?

Well those updates are made in Japan. They probably don't even know that holiday exists...

You should definatly get one now! I mean think about it. 3 days is more than enough for Nintendo to build new Wiis, flash them with 4.2 and get them to the stores in Europe!

Not everyone who uses HBC is a pirate. Some games come out in America but not Europe. So are all those European gamers supposed to not be able to play those games?
