Okay.. it's done.. Team Twiizers released a new Homebrew channel..

The new feature list is kinda cool:

  • Installer / updater now works with the October 23 update
  • SDHC support
  • REALLY fixed the memcard bug
  • Installer now picks newest sane IOS, fixes some beta8 regressions
  • Added a reload button (for SD card changes)
  • Return to system menu skips warning
  • Fixed some graphical glitches
  • Saner XML load code
  • Many fixes to underlying stuff in the newer libogc

So.. Wii version 3.3b is not a problem anymore.. your HBC will auto-update if your Wii is online.

Please note: devkitpro creates malformed elf files - you should convert the ELF files of it to DOL.
Therefore: what you can do:

--> Go to usbgecko.com, download Gecko OS.. and copy the HBC folder in your apps directory as usual. Then from the DOL folder take main.dol and also put it into apps\GeckoOS___\ - delete boot.elf there and rename main.dol to boot.dol .

I also have made a quick package of Gecko OS 1.07b: http://wiird.l0nk.org/gos-hbc-dol.zip

To fix other ELF files - download DevKitPro please and run the following command on the elf file:
powerpc-gekko-objcopy -O binary boot.elf boot.dol

Big kudos to bushing and marcan... proves again! Homebrew will not appear by a "mere" shop update :)

So all of your apps you have to change to .dol files?

All of my apps? The apps I support are only Gecko OS 1.07b - actually if you wish I can also do Gecko OS 1.06f - if you wish Ocarina.. do it yourself.. Ocarina is unsupported!

I heard that you can't install BootMii with the latest firmware, is this true?

You can't install BootMii because it isn't out yet ^^

BootMii is by team Twiizers, they succeeded installing the HBC on 3.3b so I guess once BootMii is out and no fix by Nintendo.. it should work!

why doesn't Ocarina work anymore?
I heard it's because it's a boot.elf file, and needs to be a boot.dol file.
Anybody know where I can get an updated Ocarina boot file?

If not, how can I rollback the update / revert to beta8?

HackMii says the Bootmii-Core installer will be using the same installer.. as far as I can read things there, BootMii isn't even out yet. marcan mentioned even in the comments they are still developing on it.. wiibrew says there's not a release date. So where do you get your info about BootMii? Was it leaked?

Hold on i'll find the source
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/23_Oct_Updates
It says there BootMii still works if it was installed before updating.
But i too thought that BootMii wasn't released  :confused:

Wiibrew is only just a Wiki.. so maybe someone leaked it.. or someone thought "Oh it also requires an installation to /dev/flash". And typed it there.. fact is.. OFFICIAL releases of BootMii do not exist :(
