@BIG MOE:

Please stop. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Ninty wouldn't do this, if something went wrong, then you'd be bricked and could sue them, and Nintendo never does anything which their lawyers recommend against.

And the "new TOS agreement" isn't really new, they just changed the words to make it easier to understand the statement which was already present. It's all FUD.

I don't think there have been any instances of N changing anyones system menu without previous permisson. Pretty sure one of the more knowledgable WII hacking peoples has confirmed that there is in fact NO CODE in the WII that enables Nintendo to do this. Still strange story and yes, more info is needed.

im on 3.2
and this happened to me to
i can still install wads
just all my installed games are gone

 

[yabel]

Happened to me today.. I have 3.2U with preloader installed connect24 turned off.
All wad channels gone and saved of those games gone.
Gone:
Onslaught
Tetris
world of goo
Wad manager
ftpii
wiiradio
tv game show

Left on:
backup launcher
Wii dumper
Super N emu

Only thing I did today was change 2 settings in preloader. Diag disk check and move disk channel, I enabled them both earlier today. I changed them back now. this had to be this afternoon since they were all they earlier.

 

[yabel]

Did anyone else mess with Preloader settings right before the wads disappeared??
Thats teh only thing I did that could have caused it if it wasnt big N.

 

[hackotedelaplaqu]

Happened to me too

All my Legit VC/Wiiwares still here but onslaught and bomberman wad installs are gone.

System 3.2E Miiwii'd (CIOSCORP2+Preloader)
Lately I did not mess with preloader settings.

Strange...

Well, I definitely got your back. This is not BS people!

By the way, in the user agreement, it now says:

UPDATES AND UPGRADES
We may without notifying you, download updates, patches, upgrades and similar software to your Wii Console and may disable unauthorized or illegal software placed on your Wii Console to ensure that your Wii Console is operating properly and efficiently, comply with applicable laws, assist law enforcement, protect us and our customers, or prevent the use and distribution of software obtained through improper channels.

This may have been here previously, but it doesn't seem like Nintendo actually used it until now (well, besides on the Twilight Hack). I thought it was assumed that if you update to 3.4, you agreed to this, hance why I never updated. Now that 4.0 is out, Nintendo seems to be abusing this privaledge. I guess if you disagree, you lock Nintendo out of your router -- rediculous.

Oddly enough, Nintendo did not delete my Twilight Hack. I haven't checked to see if it's operational thoough.

I think it's some sort of wave, similiar to the ban waves that Microsoft pulls off. They could be doing this to attempt to wipe 4.0 Wiis clean to make them pirate free

. However, Nintendo must not realize that people can still install WADs through cIOS. The longer they don't know this, the better.

 

[Matt93]

What system menu are you guys running? Any more details about your Wiis?

 

[caporale214]

system menu 3.2
bought on launch day

 

[WiiBlaster]

have they been able to remove any IOS's from any of these wiis?? like CIOS's?? people on 4.0 could get stuck on 4.0 without a CIOS has any of this been confirmed

 

[noobwarrior7]

as I said in the other thread, I had 5 channels dissappear right after doing a ARCmod05a downgrade, followed by a usbciosv2 install.....Im thinking maybe its a wave based system where random users connecting to NUS are flagged and then.....(because primarily only stolen channels have this) random titles with the Region free bit set are removed.

no IOS were removed....it's possible they can't get access rights to that remotely, although obviously they could overwrite them, since they do that (254,16) so it wouldn't matter if they couldnt anyway.....which is what makes it so weird that my HBC and 249 are fine....they have to be aware of them by now....why release an IOS16 and not a dummy 249?

 

[mariomaniac33]

What system menu are you guys running? Any more details about your Wiis?

Here's my stats:
3.2U
"Legacy Wiikey" (v1 Wiikey modchip) with 1.9s firmware
Preloader Installed
No Backup Loaders or CIOSCorp installed on my Wii

If you want any more information, just ask! I want to get down to the bottom of this issue

I agree with you bro

, and IOS16 served the purpose already and it's time for another trick

, IOS249 they can't do much about it or about HBC cause you can change the ticket code and install location from 249 so it's point less for them to fight that part , but I think they are doing a testing wave of pirated Wads deletion mostly region free ones but not system files neither IOS files

I agree with both of you, also. I'm just worried that they'll take this farther: an IOS deletion wave. For those who upgrade to 4.0X, cIOS is their only ticket out (well at least as of now). If Nintendo deletes the cIOS, these people are stuck.

Therefore, it may not be smart to update right now.

don't make me laugh please I'm not in the mood !!!! go read a bet more and learn that if they delete your pirated files they are not breaking the law , and your law suite can kiss the N @ss , you are breaking the user agreement so they are not liable for what happens to your console

, however they still didn't delete any system files or IOS so your console will not brick as I assume

peace mr. knowledge

Did you have an SD card inserted when this occurred? If so, check it for the saves. The weird thing for me was that the save files were copied onto the SD card -- maybe Nintendo felt guilty?

 

[noobwarrior7]

do you other guys who have this problem also have launch wiis, it is probably irrelevant, but I was just curious.
