Question:
Will you update to 4.0?
Option 1: hell yeah
Option 2: no ill wait for wiibrew to find a workaround
Option 3: no, even if wiibrew find a workaround the update doesnt interest me
i would check myself but my nintendo wiis away at the moment. according to wiibrew 4.0 has been released (wheres 3.5,3.6...etc.??)
25 March 09: Nintendo has released System Menu 4.0, which includes a batch of IOS updates. Updating is not recommended at this point.
Edit by Link: 4.1 was released which is essentially just a quick patch to 4.0 - no new special protections were added with 4.1 so all 4.0 vulneribilities apply to 4.0!
:eek: post a link to it im scared :eek:
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/System_Menu_4.0 (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/System_Menu_4.0)
its actually seems like a good update, kills homebrew but at least it does other things which are useful
i just read it, it does seem good but i cant do it!
Version 4.0 of the System Menu is yet to be announced and was released on March 25th, 2009. Presumably will be announced in the next few minutes of Satoru Iwata's GDC talk. This menu includes as-of-yet not officially announced features related to launching/copying channels from an SD card.
The announcement lists these changes:
Virtual Console/WiiWare titles can be launched and downloaded directly from a SD card.
Shows up as its own set of channels: SD Card Menu
SDHC support, up to 32GB
...
The update includes a batch of IOS updates issued a few hours before the System Menu update.
Affected |Workaround
Twilight Hack 0.1beta2 | None yet
DVDx |None yet
The Homebrew Channel (new install AND already installed) |None yet
It took a really long time, but Nintendo finaly made a good update
Stickied.. also according to some guys in the discussion, an already installed HBC is NOT affected!
is the twilight hack officially dead now or did nintendo not try to stop it this time. i really really hope a workaround comes soon
i really wanna test it out, but im not killing my homebrew
I got it
All it blocks is the Gamecube Backup Launcher and the IOS downgrader from working
But wads/GeckoOS/Wii backups all work fine!
backups we use backups?
it affects the twilight hack too aparently, and dvdx

even if he does, I do not care.. as long as no information is shared on how people get backups running or where to get them, it's their problem
ok
gh0st do you mean the ios downgrader which is used to downgrade your ioses or the ios downgrade as in the one which downgrades you from 3.2E to 3.0E or whatever
I want this update but my concern is that with the 3.4 update Nintendo can update your system without you knowing. That comes with the 4.0 update, right? And if WiiConnect24 is turned off wouldn't that stop them from doing what they want?
oh by the way, if anyone heres on 3.4, please answer my question.
Did nintendo automatically update you to 4.0 or was that a load of bs

the 2nd one :)
Same as others, I want to know if anyone with 3.4 has found this to be an automatic update like Nintendo said it may be. Anyone have any idea? Or did they lie about that and it's still prompted?
Once I know about that I'm downloading right away.
EDIT: Friend just told me he had to prompt it to update. He's not sure since he prompted it as soon as he switched the Wii on (literally went to update right away)
Anyone else know anything?

btw just tell you, you cant get on the wii shop channel
Win. I'll be downloading it in a few mins.
Thank you oh so very much Nintendo ^^
I sort of want to update, as launching a WiiWare/VC game from an SD card would be helpful. But I really don't want to loose the Homebrew Channel, as I have Disaster Day of Crisis coming in the mail, and I really want to play it. So my question is does any know if I update to 4.0 from 3.4 with the homebrew channel installed will I still be able to use it properly, most importantly Gecko OS and the ability to play PAL games on NTSC Wii? Thanks.
check the video ^_^
guys i reccomend giving it at least a week to see if anyone finds a workaround for this
So if I get a Wii with no homebrew with this update, I can't use the twilight hack?
macha, at the moment, yes, but hopefully therell be a workaround for that, i think twilight hacks dead now, we''ll propbably get something like the mario galaxy hack, or the ssbb hack i dunno
Oh damn, how long does it take before Nintendo ships out Wii's with new updates? D:
Oh god how I have longed for this update :D
But its a double edged sword that must be downloaded in pieces to prevent all the horrible things that the update has to offer.

I assume that we'll get to see some form of download where all IOS will be manually fake signed and the menu will be downloaded seperately..

screw it i'm just doing the update :|
:eek:
an awesome homebrew app would be one that has to deal with the updates. whenever a nintendo update comes out, and a workaround is found, all files (like latest wii shop) can be downloaded, or maybe even installed also.
So its ok to install 4.0? see i dont hack, i use HBC to use the Gecko OS and use the game codes I find here to use on the games, I just wanna know if thats ok?
Crystal Jinjo, if you use the Rebooter function of GeckoOS, you should not update. If I remember correctly, '3.3V2' and higher breaks that feature of GeckoOS.
If you do not use the Rebooter, then I'm guessing that it would be okay to update, as long as you have the Homebrew Channel installed.
i use homebrew channel like an action replay, i get the codes for wii games from this site and put them in a codes folder on my sd and when i go to HBC i use gecko os and then run game and when it loads the game it loads the codes for the game that I saved on the SD card, thats all I use HBC for.
Guys Need a answer does the gamecube action replay the one that works on 3.4e still work on 4.0 would love a quick replay
So everything is ok with this update? I forgive Nintendo for what they did now.

You should be fine, as long as the codes that you are using do not require the Rebooter function of GeckoOS. I don't recommend doing so, but if you decide to update to 4.0, make sure you have the Homebrew Channel installed.

The MIOS was not updated for this firmware, so I'm guessing that it should still work.
Guys i just updated to 4.0 and i can confirm gamecube action replays still works on 4.0 so if you have the latest version it will work.Guys gecko os and ocarina work fine just tested the ocarina codes and they work fine.
Nice update but I will wait for a manual menu install so I can keep rebooter working, and all the other security I get from having 3.2U firmware. Thanks for all the information from those who have tested this update out.

The MIOS was not updated for this firmware, so I'm guessing that it should still work.
The MIOS was still installed though. Don't think that if you have a cMIOS you will be safe, because this update gives you MIOSv8.
If you try installing cIOSCORP and the like the menu will give a "The System Files Are Corrupted" message, and then it will "fix" them for you... -.-
Im happy with this update i had the homebrew channel installed before the update gecko os, ocarina work fine and even gamecube action replay still work i am very surprised that the gamecube action replay still works,thought they would have blocked it.
would it be best to avoid 4.0 for now in case in the future you are able to hack virtual console and wii ware games which may use the reboot function of gecko OS? I presume they are researching ways to hack wii ware and virtual console games
waninkoko released his new Firmware Updater 4.0

Hi there Nintendo
March 26th, 2009 by marcan · No Comments
Good job trying (again) to kill PatchMii and forgetting to overwrite cIOS. In case you don’t know, that’s IOS249 (not IOS254), and it’s what all the VC/WiiWare pirates use, as well as the softmod pirate’s choice of IOS, as it includes DVD read patches. It’s also what they’re using to patch your update now so they can enjoy SD launching of pirated titles. Good job.
Hint: If you worked on screwing up piracy instead of blocking homebrew, you might have a better chance at stopping it. And you know that we aren’t going to help the pirates, don’t you?
This was also your last chance to get rid of some piracy before the release of a NAND backup/restore solution. You blew it.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
they overwrote the wrong IOS, loooool!!!! oh god thats hilarious, they need to think up of an amazing update whichll literally force the pirates to update
___________________________________________
i might have too sell my wii now and buy a fricking new one!! :'(
whys that?
No,id wait to get a workaround,
Because i love the Twilight Hack,and i don't want to update only for this stupid SD full support...
But i'm waiting for a sd patch that makes you to play custom wads without instellig 'em.
lalala i put all my homebrew stuff on my SD card lalala now i cant move it back lalala or play it on the Sd card menu lalala!!
ssbbdude. for your solution you need the trucha bug back in IOS 60.

:D
but i cant get on homebrew :( thnx anyway
oh... you don't have a CIOS?
and now you have no HBC.
sucks.
yes it does
just wait for the new hack, whether its a brawl hack, a mario galaxy hack whatever, they always manage to find a way through this so i wouldnt worry too much
if its a mario galaxy hack i gotta buy them game
I tried Ocarina after the 4.0 update and it does not work.In the menu (Ocarina application or Geckos) appears a 'SD error' message.
Why is this happening?Can anybody help me?
Im seeing people having problems with the update now not running gecko os or loading codes from the sd, and with the workaround posted still installing 4.0... i wanna update for the reason cause i need the shop channel back... now what do i do...
if theres a hack for galaxy or brawl wouldnt it be found by now!

Found, yes, mentioned, no. Just because you've never heard of there being a hack for them doesn't mean there isn't one. What would be the point of mentioning other 'bugs' when the twilight hack has been working fine for a whole year or so? All it'd do is make it easier for Nintendo to patch sooner, which is why other 'bugs' haven't been mentioned for other games.
I've seen videos of homebrew being run off of a hack for Godfather Wii and Super Mario Galaxy.
Wish i knew where the videos were. It was like a month ago too, but i bet those are where the next versions will show up.
The Godfather one took like 5 minutes of gameplay to get to the part where to code started though...
anyone tried this?

I tried Gecko OS with the same results unfortunately...
you don't have a cIOS therefore you wont be able to use rebooter.
nintendo also changed around some other things in their failed attempt at stopping piracy. Possibly this is one of the things. I mean it would stop all the people from hacking on wifi that they have to spend their time banning.

I am not an online cheater but I find Ocarina very helpfull for unlockables.Is there any hope for an updated Ocarina version?
Do we have any information?
Ocarina will not be updated. If you still have HBC you can wait until someone figures out a downgrade method.
you might want to start by seeing if you can install IOS 16 over the new one or just see if you can use an IOS60 patcher to load trucha bug in that.
At this point there is no way back from 4.0 without a cIOS. We were warned by 3.3v2 and most of us got cIOS's just in case. :|

What hetoan2 said.. Gecko OS is the new Ocarina.. there will not be any Ocarina anymore ever.. basically tell me how you used Ocarina..
Start it.. press A to start the game with codes
Wanna know what.. close your eyes.. and use the exact same tactics with Gecko OS thus ignoring the
terrifying menus (notice: sarcasm).. press A.. and it will start with codes!

The problem is that I tried Gecko OS(OO2 fix) and while it launches the game normally, it fails to incorporate the codes.Again the same' SD error' message.Have you tried it after the update?Any ideas?

don't quote a post unless you have something to say.
im starting to think i better just save up to buy a 2nd wii concsole, one for the HBC with an old system menu and one always updating to play downloaded games from the shop channel and games without cheating.
I only wanna use the HBC for gecko os to use codes on games, like an action replay but i also want this cool update for the shop channel and running downloaded games off of sd, but im seeing problems installing 4.0 with HBC and twilight hack etc. Besides I think the wii is going down in price
wii will not change in price.
plus that is a stupid reason to buy a second wii. HBC and gecko OS are unaffected by this update as long as you have a cIOS and even then you can easily undo the updates for free.
you don't need to waste your money on an overpriced system again when the second one won't be homebrewable ever either. Now ALL wiis in stores have a new boot1 so you'll find yourself royally fucked.
Sorry for the previous post.I suppose that I screwed up my answer.
I tried Gecko OS(both versions,002fix and regular) and neither can use Ocarina.It displays again the same message 'SD error'.
Is there any hope about an updated Ocarina or Gecko OS version which supports 4.0 update?
Or am I doing something wrong?Has anyone else tried to use Ocarina codes after the last update?
Quote from: panmusic on March 28, 2009, 07:05:03 AM
[...] again the same message 'SD error'. [...]
SDHC support must be added to the application itself.. the shop channel was made SDHC aware, the Wii Menu is.. back then the HBC learnt SDHC long before the Wii Menu.. Gecko OS admittedly still uses the old libogc libraries.. the new version might switch to new libogc and would then support SDHC..
Ocarina will not be updated so not SDHC support for it!
That issue has nothing to do with 4.0!
I dont have the cIOS file, where can I get one and where should I put it before installing 4.0? i gotta make sure that gecko os does work after the update, im not concerned bout twilight hack anymore cause i will be keeping the HBC and Gecko OS.
If you wanna update with Waninkokos Updater or other updaters then you do not need any cIOS, you can downgrade later on with regular WAD managers!
as long as you're not on 3.3v2 you still need trucha bug in at least 1 IOS to downgrade.
IOS 16 is no longer an option.
im on 3.3E normal 3.3 version, so where do i go, what do i do, im not a techincal person so help XD

The problem is that I tried to use the codes after the 4.0 update using my SD card(non SDHC) also with the same problem again.
I don't think that SDHC cards cause the problem anymore.
if you don't have a cIOS that could be the problem. the only thing is none of us are willing to sacrifice homebrew just to see what your issue is. then we'd all be in the same boat.
Can you inform me about the whole CIOS thing?
What am I must do?Any links for downloads and tutorials?
hetoan2: You mean cIOS36 Rev08?
yes
downloads cant be posted on this site
and no tutorials, just google
Waninkoko's 4.0 updater isnt appearing in the HBC, ive placed the downloaded files in the apps folder but its not appearing on my HBC menu to install it
make sure its inside a folder called updater which should be inside apps.
also make sure the dol file is boot.dol and not something like updater.dol
waninkoko always has his files not named boot.dol
they never come with a folder, image, or xml either.
only 2 readme's one is english other is espanol
Awesome! Installed the need Ios' Cios' and the updater and now ive got the SDVC feature and the games on their load fine, the HBC and Gecko OS work fine with the codes working for games and the new shop channel is runnign again
Thanks for all the help guys =)
One more thing I would do is patch IOS 60. Waninkoko's updater doesn't patch any of them, but if you do patch IOS 60 then you can load homebrew wads from the SD card. Doing this may also bring back the No-copy flag remover from gecko OS's rebooter.
dont move any homebrew to the sd card until you patch ios 60 or you'll be screwed.
great i wish i would of known that sooner =[
hi, can someone tell me if I can use the gecko os to launch a game and use the codes in the new version 4.0??? please!
yes you can. as long as you have homebrew before.
id recommend a cios and trucha patched ios's tho.
Hetoan2: I think ive already done that, I googled the patcher and it came across a page with the file for the IOS patcher which I had already used along with installing the updater, so I think im all set then =)
k
let me know how it goes :D
all honesty its not worth it, and dont get overexcited and move your homebrew channel to the sd menu *cough*...ssbbdude...*cough* cos youll regret it.
>:(
i wouldnt have copied EVERYTHING and THEN tried to load, i'd try one thing that i could put back easily.... like wad manager channel .... but i know how ssbbdude feels, when 3.3v2 came out i updated, then some annoying family member deleted it :| luckily a workaround came out soon (and i used twilight hack cause that still worked...) hope a workaround cames out for ya ssbbdude!
:)
I don't intend to copy HBC over since it may be dangerous, but I just wanted the SD feature so i can save VC games and channels onto the card and load off the card instead, Im hoping nintendo will be able to allow saves for VC games and Wii games to be loaded off of SD card instead of having to have them on the system, that way the SD cards will act like a PROPER memory card.
Can't ever load saves off of the SD card. The memory can only be loaded from the NAND. And nintendo can't get it to bypass their own save protection. So their not going to implement the feature if it has practically no compatibility. Wifi games are numerous now a days :|
Gecko Loader can still load games if I just update right?
Shouldn't we update the news from 3.4 to 4.0??
Is there a walkaround on the update including the shop update yet? Want to buy majora's mask soon.
Hm.. my shop channel didn't work so I tried to just re-run Waninkoko's updater.. it only installed the European shopping channel and it's working!

Its there someone who has a Zelda file of Twilight Hack that works on Wii 4.0?
twilight hack wont work on 4.0, you'll have to wait for this new exploit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bCi0flUyDU) and hope that it will work on 4.0
Who is Comex? He says he needs people to test. I want to test since my Wii version its 4.0
Will my homebrew channel be removed if I try to upgrade?
http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/System_Menu_4.0 (http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/System_Menu_4.0)
No, it will not be removed. However, when on 4.0, if you try to move it to the SD card, or delete it off the Wii entirely, you currently will not be able to install it back on. Honestly, I would recommend that you not update to 4.0.
4.0 is fine as long as your not an idiot. You can even downgrade. Theres a guide somewhere.
I just heard the the HBC its finished and It already works on 4.0. Also that It will be released on this Week. Its that true?
wouldnt doubt it. nintendo leaves exploits all the time
Im so happy! I actually was able to remove the October 23rd update, and can run homebrew 100% :) Also, I was bale to get starfall to work, and I blocked updates from coming in! I dont think that I will ever update to 4.0, seeing how much it kills homebrew,and seeing as I finally got my wii to downgrade properly to 3.2!
4.0 really isnt that worth it, unless youve got a tonne of wiiware/vc games
I updated anyway just to see what the Wii Shop Channel was like. The only thing the 4.0 update did to my Homebrew was disable Gecko's Rebooter with its new IOS thingie. And the latest Gecko OS can run multidol games without that now, so there was no problem for me updating. As long as Gecko and Dragon Media Player run, I'm fine. :smileyface:
might want to enable trucha bug just to be safe for the future...
Now the amateur part of me comes in to play... What's a Trucha Bug?

I have a question about Waninkoko's 4.0 updater. I have a 3.3v2U Wii if I update using this will I be able to use something like the rebooter or other apps that dont work on 3.3v2 or would I have to downgrade to 3.2 then go 4.0?
Yes you will, well only one i know that works is WAD manager, but i havent tried anything else. Starfall wont work because its a new menu i believe.
Never mind just used the downgrading guide now no need for the updater.
Is it possible for someone to use the Twilight Hack to get HBC when they have the 4.0 firmware? One of my friends was considering getting the HBC, but he has the 4.0 update.

no it is not. He will have to use bannerbomb.
Or maybe the new Brawl hack?

I want this update but my concern is that with the 3.4 update Nintendo can update your system without you knowing. That comes with the 4.0 update, right? And if WiiConnect24 is turned off wouldn't that stop them from doing what they want?
i hope it does and anouther way to stop updates is turning off internet
Um, I am ADHD, so I need all the explanations to my questions in one neat little post if ever possible. I apologize for my lack of patience. ^^;
I have only softmodded it. The only things I have are HBC and two Gecko OS's and savestate loader/unloaders. If I update my Wii, will I still be able to hack Animal crossing, and use codes for that and other games with my SD card?
And if I update to 4.0, will I be able to hack VC games without the danger of having to downgrade my Wii? (Doing lots of fancy stuff like this to my expensive and beloved Wii makes my brain feel like teeth rubbing on a dinner plate, since I am generally poor.)
Again, sorry for asking anything that was already asked... I just need special explaining at times.

If your Wii is virgin other than HBC.. then updating to 4.1 will not top HBC and Gecko OS from working (Hacking Animal Crossing will work) however, hacking channels will only work if you use a custom IOS!
1.) Aww, rightious!!!
2.) Is a custom IOS downloaded or is it a hardware chip? If it's downloaded, I would love to do so. Because I keep fearing my memories of the Gameshark Pro would be just memories. If not, will there be a soft way to do so? If I have to wait until the right stuff is achieved first, I will. But will it be possible?
Edit: I looked around the internet and it seems the IOS is handled like an actual ROM is as far as legality. What I want to know is though, is that what KINDS of custom IOS are there? Is there one specific one just for old games hacking?
