Hacking Wii Menu 4.2 Released

[9th_Sage]

Wii Shop Channel has been blocked off until you update your system menu it looks like I can't shop anymore.

That hurts, since I buy Rock Band and Guitar Hero DLC. Guess I need to update.

It works if you update the channel with something like WiiSCU. It uses IOS61 still.

With 4.2 offering NOTHING in the way of functionality, why is everyone so horny to update to it ?

All seem crazy in my mind.

SLOW DOWN people.

I want to have a safe 4.2 update as a way of telling Nintendo to suck it.

 

[Sonic4Ever]

The whole hackmii project got utterly wiped.

What a failure.

Wii Shop Channel got updated. Update of the system or the channel is mandatory.

 

[Livin in a box]

If anyone has updated to 4.2 and has a chipped Wii and can still play games, let me know.

Curse you Nintendo!!!!!!!!

Its almost as if they waited, waited until we thought we were safe on our older Wiis. Then just when we least suspected it they hit us with the big wipe.

 

[9th_Sage]

It's unethical? Yeah, alright then.

 

[Majroa]

Meh, not fair. Are there any physical changes in the systemmenu?

 

[Gullwing]

Nope I assume...

 

[lonegreyride]

Physical changes? Now, that I'd like to see.

But I think I know what you mean... visible changes... and no, the system menu should look the same (minus HBC).

Why there people claiming that IOS61 (+trucha) update, is not recommended?

 

[s3phir0th115]

I think I have a theoretical safe update method. But it would require preloader working with IOS70, and System Menu 4.2. You'd also need a cIOS or trucha vulnerable IOS and wad manager.

1. Load homebrew channel.
2. Load an app to install a trucha patched IOS70. (Or have someone cioscorp patch it, then install. Cioscorp 3.5 anyone?)
3. Load wad manager and install System Menu 4.2 from nusd. Exit. (This should take you back to the homebrew channel, before the system menu can interfere.)
4. Load preloader, and install it again, making sure the anti-anti-homebrew patches are applied to prevent the menu from deleting everything.
5. Go on happily.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[illinialex24]

I'm testing that as we speak.

 

[Adr990]

I'll make a guide how to hard edit the System Menu WAD.

What does "The installed boot1 version prevents a boot2 install (-2) mean? Are you going to fix it?

No, it can't be fixed. Installing as boot2 is the most useful way to install BootMii, but it requires that we exploit a particularly silly bug in a part of the system that can not be changed under any circumstances. Nintendo finally fixed this bug in new Wiis that were released sometime in 2008. We have looked for a suitable replacement for this exploit, but have not found one, and it does not seem likely that anyone ever will.

Obviously talking about the updated boot2's in LU64 Wii's and in this update. Doesn't look like there's going to be a boot2 fix for this update anytime soon.

because it messes with the shop channel for some people.
and theres no point to have trucha on IOS61

Re-read it.

The installed BOOT1 version prevents a boot2 install. What does that have to do with the new boot2? The only reason LU64 Wiis don't generally work with BootMii is because their boot1 has a trucha bug fix. Since Boot1 is unwriteable by anyone (since it gets checked against a hash by boot0) there's no reason to think that if you have the bugged boot1 one and could install before that you can't reinstall after this update. If you update with a WAD it's kind of a moot point anyway since the newer boot2 won't get installed that way anyway. I just tried it.

My USB Loader shortcut channels weren't deleted, HBC was though. Going to roll back using BootMii and a NAND dump I just made.

MY wiikey is still working , with the games ..

did anyone take the homebrew channel and chagne the I.D then update .. to see if that works .. i dotn haev a clue .. but my wiikey is still working , with the new game out ...
