Looking at Nintendo's history leads me to believe they couldn't have done this by themselves...

I'd rather play my gba than that piece of shit 4.2 anyway. (update this assholes!

)

the one thing that surprised me was the deletion of Bootmii...I thought (and probably read somewhere too) that being in boot2 it was undeletable by updates.
we'll see what the coder will come up with to save our arses

In the meantime I'm not updating of course.

That was my understanding too, as it boots up well before the system menu and updates can't touch anything before sysmenu process.

Legal issues aside, Nintendo is currently not even able to force updates. WC24 is a harmless service, unable to do automatic updates (regardless of what Iwata said at the unveiling of WC24). Still, WC24 required an update of its license agreement, because WC24 technically auto-updates several files during normal operation (e.g. News Channel content).

If Twiizers can write to it, why can't nintendo?

It's not write-protected or anything.

thx. they posted news about the release date but not about the prices. anyone got an idea.

What about Indiana pwns, Smash stack and the SMG exploit ? Still works ?

First 2 still work

 

[Technik]

Why should we even update anyway? No new benefits no updated anything. If we have noobs who got it we can just use smashtack and load a dol that downgrades it.

I was referring to the standard system update process, it doesn't writing anything into Boot2 does it (feel free to correct me)? Is having write protection (controlled by you) the next step for Hackmii? Possibly to avoid/deflect any attempts by future system updates that could overwrite Boot2?

Yep bootmii was made to be update-resistant as we thought updating couldn't change boot2

I just hope Fragile, Tales of Graces and FF Crystal Bearers don't for some reason require an update and work fine on my 4.0E Wii and other good games too.
The scariest part about this is that it removes bootmii, Nintendo sure did their homework this time around.

Just run games with GeckoOs to install the latest cIOS and then block updates with preloader
Works on all new games

I've read a few questions about modchips. I have a Wiikey V1 and it no longer works. I had to install the IOS37, 38, 53 & 55 to get rid of the "An error has occurred. Please eject and power off" message (when I was on 4.0, of course).

So, I spose the old the chip, the most likely it'll no longer work.

If anyone does want some testing, I can be a guinea pig!!!!

I don't want to hear "why did you update?" and stuff like that. I just did. My plan was to update officially and use TBR, if needed (I knew it was safe to update to 4.1). So, I did it and no HBC. I come here read aaalllllll the news. It was posted 1 hour ago. If I checked here first, I wouldn't have done it.

And the Indy Pwns save doesn't copy. Neither does my actual save...

Or did someone from the Wii scene help them? maybe someone who left after a paddy a short while back.

70- 80Euros. http://www.wodejukebox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12

So Bootmii is erased? Is bootmii erased only on lu64+ Wiis, or on any wiis?

I have an older Wii from early 2007. I thought Ninty couldn't erase bootmii?

Since the update, I can't play NTSC backups on my PAL Wii with Wiikey 2 installed even though it has "Region Free" selected in the chip bios.

Ah yes, What about the modchip factor?

 

[lostdwarf]

Team Tweezers have always said nintendo could patch boot2 whenever they wanted and kill bootmii.. AND they expected it in the last update but it was not implamented.

I am more supprised that there is nothing in this update except piracy fix's. no menu improvements, no system improvements.
It would have caught more people out if they added extra functionallity.
To be honest though guys, isn't it nice knowing that Nintendo pay attention to the scene! i mean they had to follow at least this website pretty close to fix ALL of those problems in one big update, covering preloader, bootmii, hbc, cios's, ios, stubs, trucha bug, banner bomb. at least they are not completely useless at there jobs.


now...

bets on!
I bet 1 week and 5 days till a workaround comes out for the unfortunate updaters.

I bet people will still update out of curiosity and post some bullshit about how their brother/mother/sister/father/grandma/etc.... updated.
