Wii System Update warning

[Lumstar]

Agreed. PS3 has so far proven much tougher. But also contains greater potential.

Sony's existing framework combined with a solid hack could in theory have legendary results.

- Being able to run backups and homebrew in PS1, PS2, or PS3 mode.
- Region-free playback of PS1 and PS2 games, along with DVD and Blu-Ray movies.
- Full hardware access in Linux. Making it effectively a complete PC then.
- Disable HDCP for HDMI connections.

This isn't a PS3 Firmware thread, keep it on track.

So what happens to those who bought a freeloader? No more Smash?

 

[Relys]

Crap, I sent my Wii in for repairs.

I hope it don't get screwed.

Pwned. This is the reason I didn't hack my Wii. Don't you guys remember what happened to people who hacked Xbox and went online with it? They got their account banned!

Hackers are probably working on a solution anyway, in about an hour or whatever they'll make a new version. I feel sorry for the suckers who bought that Wii Freeloader. It's going to be useless pretty soon as well.

Wow, I almost updated my Wii before and decided against it. @_@ Good thing I didn't. >_

Well that's not a problem for wii. The online system sucks, so it's not a big loss.

No, it isn't.

 

[Cyan]

if I understand, when a game come with a firmware update, it includes all the firmware IOS.
then, for people who didn't update to a WiiWare firmware, we could use Trucha signer or WUM to modify a game with IOS37 and remove it to update up to a WiiWare compatible firmware (IOS36 ?).

does the first update from 20 march is IOS36 ? or an old 37 ?


Edit :
of course, it's just temporary until a game or WiiWare will need the IOS37 to run.

you could just buy the game legally....

That has nothing to do with any of this. Trucha signer is for homebrew, not piracy.

My Backups still work fine for me in case anyone cares. Using a YAOSM 2.0 and have the latest firmware (Screw free games, I want me Dr. Mario + Wifi

)

How in any way has the Trucha signer benefitted the homebrew community?

If you're going to reel off the various app's (video mode changer / ISO modification) that have spawned from it, thats still aiding piracy more than anything else, only the Freeloader has put a legit 'spin' on it's use so far.

Enabling cut gore from certain games giving us our right our freedom back
Language patching
Lots of other lil bits and bobs out there but id say its an even mix between piracy and a honest use of the tool.

It seems like I've gotten two DREs with GC games since this update, and my Wii isn't even modded. Nor do I own a Freeloader that's currently Wii-compatible.

So all this hype was an early April Fool's day joke after all?

 

[need4speed]

So all this was just a april fools joke? And I believe It was true

They got me there.

 

[jpxdude]

I'd be weary about the April Fool's joke, since it was last edited with that message by an unverified IP address...It could be someone trying to be malicious. I'd give it another day or so to see if this is the case...

Besides, it's a bit early for April Fools!
