3.4 Update

[Jassim]

allows playing on any TV pretty much. you'd only need for out of your region games tho

K...could come in handy

well for me it hasnt been very useful because ive tried to use vidtv patch on imports it makes no difference between having it on or off and i still end up playing in black an white.

just use it if a game isnt booting through gecko os

Ha... I just got my Wii back from Nintendo. They fixed it (of course) but they didn't update it or anything. Everything is exactly as it was when I sent it in. I can't say that they always won't update it but they didn't for me so I'm gonna guess they probably won't. (Just thought I'd inform you how it went.)

Probably because they didn't do anything with its software. Depending on what you did, they most likely just opened it up, and replaced the broken chips, and tested to see if it turned on.

Um... Yeah that defiantly could be it. It was a physical problem so they probably just didn't do much with the software other than make sure it worked.

i'd rather use a different patch. that one = FAIL, unless you want to install a billion and one times

Nevermind this post, I figured it out

Seriously, though :  :runaway:


But what if one of the future updates just so happens to be programmed by Nintendo to automatically install itself? No notification or asking permission. Then we'd all be hosed no matter what. After all, it's their console, so legally speaking, they can update everything however and whenever they want. They'd probably state it like "We are only doing what is best for our customers" or something.

No reason to panic, though. I guarantee that there are at least a few people who are employed by Nintendo that use Homebrew, so the chances of them actually killing the project aren't very big at all.

Still, though,  :runaway: !

the update's been analyzed and there's no code that actually allows nintendo to force an update over wifi.

it's just a threat.

unless they block games until you do the update, in which case, it is possible.

I've blocked nintendo's update servers on my wifi adapter anyways.

how did you manage that?

anyway, oit always seemed dodgy to automatically update because what happens if you turn your wii on while its updating, or you unplug your wii while its updating? Brick? possibly, if that was true  because it would be like your half on 3.4 and half on 3.5 so youll have a faulty system menu which could=brick

[hetoan2]

with certain wifi adapters you can actually block addresses from going over your wifi.
Like to block your children/students from getting on sites and stuff.

so i just blocked their update servers. forget what they are, but i have it notify me of DLC updates too for accf. you can get them on some site just search.

jassim they wouldn't do it like that. i'm sure they'd force it through game channel

*and secretly installing system menu update*

[hetoan2]

yup... damn nintendo keeps trying to make our lives difficult.

Well not really mine since I dont hack homebrew apps :|

[DemonParasite]

Yeah, updating your Wii for you is way more difficult than going in and doing a manual update. The whole point of that feature is because most people who don't know how to do much stuff on their Wii never update, and this will solve that.

[hetoan2]

no offense, but you're wrong.

that's what nintendo wants you to think, but in reality they put in the feature to take away people's choice of doing the update.

nobody is stupid enough not to push a button, especially when your wii tells you to -.-

when nintendo removes peoples choice they can Force any type of update, even one that will destroy homebrew. which isn't what people want.

they do almost nothing for the average player, they only disguise the updates with a few "special" features and then tries to sell it to everyone. Potentially ruining homebrew for the stupid, and preventing those who don't know anything about it from ever getting into it.

It most definitely is not to meant to help the stupid people that can't press 2 buttons.

Besides people that stupid can't hook their wifi up to their wii. (it's 3 clicks and the most they can do is 1)

If you're stupid, you shouldn't even be messing around with homebrew. There are some serious consequences if you mess around with homebrew and have no clue what you're doing. I love how everyone is so surprised that Nintendo is killing homebrew. OMG NINTENDO IS MAKING THEIR CONSOLE SECURE AND REMOVING PIRACY WHY THEY DO THAT!!!!???? And the auto-update feature was not made to kill homebrew automatically, it was made so that idiots who never update will not have to worry about it. I'm not going to deny that they fix security exploits in their updates, because it's common sense to secure your own product. Just don't update, there's no need to get everyone together for a conspiracy theory circle jerk.
