I updated, HBC still working.. for now.. (beta 9).

The strange thing is, the EULA / ToS didn't change here in The Netherlands / Europe. However, the ToS here never stated that updates can't be installed automaticly.

I know nothing about this, but it seems that a large amount of individuals updating to 3.4 are not getting things wiped by Nintendo. Is the update looking for the Twilight Hack save before doing anything else? If that's the case, haven't most of us deleted the Twilight Hack save by now?

Well some of us still keep the Twilight Hack available as our "Safe Mode" if we would ever succumb to installing bad wads.

One of the backup loader channels had a bad wad and it bricked a few people's Wiis.

Isn't illegal a bit harsh? It sounds like I could get arrested for using the Twilight Hack

it has nothing to do with the power going out half way through. like someone else said, comments like yours will cause a lot of bricks.
from the few reports, hbc still works (although not sure to what degree), various other channels are completely removed, and the twilight save won't transfer to the wii anymore.

I could be wrong, but I really don't see how the Twilight Hack is that much different than a Datel Wii Powersave, as they are both hacked save files. However, the bottom line is that there is way too many people who have used the Twilight Hack for Nintendo to do that.

Using modified and custom created stuff is illegal on the wii, simply because it's only legal to use software / hardware on the Wii that has been licensed by Nintendo.

So.. I hope. yes hope, that one day Nintendo will release a Homebrew WiiWare-program

And about this update, I updated around 2 hours ago and HBC (b9) still works.

Just ran the update, (I took my sd card out just to be safe

), Homebrew channel is fine. The Twilight Hack probably doesn't work anymore, but if you already have the Homebrew channel I can't think of a reason you would want the Twilight Hack.

I was gonna say the same, but didn't want to jump into the line of fire here. And then pulling the 'photoshop' card on the photo provided.

Seriously, why is it people do not grow up around here and instantly go AWOL at the slightest thing.

Well, technically now they can remove the Homebrew Channel and you would have no way to put it back on, therefore, you're back at point 0.
Since, they can now auto-update on your Wii, unless you have the internet disconnected and/or WiiConnect24 off.
Plus, people kept it incase of banner bricks on the Wii, which, HBC couldn't save from (per say) ..

EDIT: @ cr08: Yeah, I wasn't even going to mention the photoshop accusation, lol. It's confirmed, now instead of looking back, let's look forward. ;]
BootMii, where are you?

I have the same question? Can anyone confirm that on version 3.2 you wont get auto-updates?

As far as I know, as long as you are only using a drive chip, it should be safe to update. However, keep in mind that if you do, you would currently lose the ability to run any unofficial software, including the newest version of the Twilight Hack.

Correct. I still doubt that they would do it, but you would definitely have to "agree" to it, first.
