Hacking Wii Update: 3.3U Out

[gblock247]

So the long and short of it....

I'm getting Twilight Princess in the mail via Gamefly tommorrow and I was planning on doing the Homebrew Channel.

So don't update if I plan on doing this or ever installing WADs, or can I update after I do the Twilight Hack and install the Homebrew Channel and still be able to do WADs?

thanks

Ensure you install the proper cIOS first, and according to all reports it's fine.

But despite that I don't recommend an update anyway, unless you're desperate to use the shop

@berlinka
If you wanna use a cIOS, the use the cios_fix

What's different (better) about that "cIOS_fix" compared to the Custom IOS36 rev 05 or IOS37 rev 03/ rev 02...

I have another thing:

If someone has dumped his/her File System with the FS Dumper before the update.
Could this be restored?

@berlinka
the cios_fix has the best capability

23 October 08: Nintendo has (finally) released an update which blocks fakesigning on all IOSes. As usual, updating is not recommended until further details and implications regarding homebrew are examined.

* This blocks new installations of anything fakesigned, that is, Homebrew Channel, wads (legal and illegal), Starfall, cIOS, anything that installs IOSes secretly like AnyRegion Changer or AnyTitle Deleter, xyzzy and DVDX (used for apps which have DVD support). This list is not exhaustive, but please add to it if you think of anything else.
* If something is already installed then it isn't affected, like Homebrew Channel, etc.
* The homebrew developers are already planning how they could work against this.
* You currently need this update to access the Wii Shop Channel.
* If you already have the Homebrew Channel and DVDX, and aren't planning to install anything big that will affect your Wii, then you are most likely unaffected. Normal everyday apps such as Homebrew Browser are completely unaffected as long as you already have the Homebrew Channel.
* It updates all IOSes with the fakesigning bug, and adds IOS51.

The System Menu is still 3.3

So will this spark a new surge of methods to hack/install hombrew on the wii or those it spell the end of hombrew channel and it's like?

Just a quick note (I haven't read the latest posts so maybe someone told you guys this already...):
If you uninstall the cIOS you'll NOT be able to reinstall it on the new firmware. That means that after the uninstallation, the WAD Manager, the Wii Backup Loader and anything relying on the cIOS to work will STOP working.

This is just something you guys knew already anyway... =P

IOS51 is about 0.1MB larger than IOS36.

IOS36 dump is 1.7MB
IOS51 dump is 1.8MB

And here's the Wiimpersonator log for the update:

i didnt know that wad manager required cIOS to work. i've been using it for ages before even installing cIOS.

or is it a newer version we're talkin about?

or is it the fact it wont work without the cIOS when updated?

so confused! too many late nights lol

 

[g4jek8j54]

The WAD Manager doesn't require a Custom IOS on any updates before yesterday. However, if you perform the newest update, it will not work without a Custom IOS.

 

[diegoesgriam]

Can you erase wads with the Wad Manager after the update ??? (i don't have cIOS)

 

[MikeyTaylorGaming]

but dont you need wad manager to install the cIOS first? thats what confused me lol

 

[DarkChili]

this kills the GeckoOS rebooter FYI, which for me means FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

 

[WB3000]

It will be interesting what Bushing has to say on HackMii, I always like those huge posts with the decompiled source, etc.

 

[DespizingU]

Yeah, my Wii asked me to update last night. Good thing I didn't.

 

[g4jek8j54]

but dont you need wad manager to install the cIOS first? thats what confused me lol

I think, but I'm not sure. Prior to this update, a Custom IOS was not needed to install pirated Virtual Console/WiiWare WADs with the WAD Manager.

 

[MikeyTaylorGaming]

ah i see, but what people are saying is that its only fakesigned wads that cant be installed with the wad manager.

the cIOS allows fakesigned wads like the loader and HBC to be installed is what you're saying? dont know about original VC game installation though.

 

[Forcystos]

So basically I'm screwed? Is there no hope for those who updated?
