Wii System Update warning
Trucha exploit possibly patched
nintyhax.jpg
It has been reported that a new Wii System Update is available that combats the current Trucha exploit, rendering modified games unplayable. For this reason we currently recommend you NOT UPDATE your Wii if prompted.

This is not yet confirmed reliably so stay tuned for more information, or join in the discussion in the following thread.

Okay, how about this: fixing the signing bug requires two files to be changed in an update. They released one of the two files.
wiibrew(Note this is NOT the update from a couple of days ago that was related to Wiiware. That one is confirmed as `safe`.)

Glad I updated between the Wiiware update and this one. I'm in the "just right" zone, right before dangerous update, right after good update.

Update as early as possible, I always say.

I was like "i'll apply that latest update on my wii later today, just in case" and now i see these threads about new update which kills everything. Really fun.

freeloader doesnt work nemore i hreard

the new wii freeloader still works atm.
so don't install any online updates and when a disc contains an update, use freeloader to skip it.
that should work while we wait for custom firmwares

Of course not...

Seriously... Nintendo aren't that stupid, people would see it and pull the plug.
