Appears to kill cIOS (all versions), bootmii, and packs IOS56/57 in the update along with a new system menu. Most other IOSes appear to get updates as well.

 

[oops_ur_dead]

What is this new IOS70? Maybe new system menu IOS?

 

[asdf]

The Wiibrew 4.2 page says : "Deletes most homebrew." so I'm assuming it means loaders and cIOS.

For those curious: http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/System_Menu_4.2

Apparently. The Wiibrew page was made a few minutes ago.

 

[Retrievil]

Wow so it looks like this SM specifically targets CIOS files and overwrites them .... nasty stuff.

 

[techboy]

What is this new IOS70? Maybe new system menu IOS?

Thats what i'm guessing. Going to download new menu with NUSD now to check.

EDIT: Uses IOS70. Confirmed.

o.o well... this is bad. so f i update, bootmii will be erased too or...? I hope they don't add you have to update to connect to WFC... is bannerbomb removed?

 

[KiiNG]

And the massive tidal wave of new threads asking for help begins.. yet again. People should start changing their stickied guides to not update via Ninty to save us all the headache.

blah

 

[hundshamer]

Makes me wonder if this is Nintendo's response to the hombrew featured on "Attack of the Show."
Bad news indeed.

 

[icefireicefire]

bleh new wiibrew news "Nintendo has released System Menu 4.2 in all regions. Updating is safe if you're a pirate." blah

 

[ArchangelX]

Lol, have fun, warezfags.
I'll stick to my 4.0, where all the kewl kids are.

 

[WiiThoko]

Does Nintendo have another dumb reason why we should update?
(I'm still on 4.0U)
