3.4 Update

[Romaap]

I meant the wii update not the opera update, sorry :-[

[wiiztec]

Most Likely.

How would they ship the new Wii's to retailers so fast?

[agrs700]

omg!! I'm getting fucking nervous, what a shit!!

I'll sticky it to the board news! I forgot, yeah, you're right!

So I didnt have to turn my Wiiconect 24 off before this?-_- That just sucks...
If I turn my Wiiconect 24 on then will it download automaticaly or can Is top it somehow...

If you updated to 3.4 and Nintendo releases a new update then your wii will update automaticaly(at least thats what nintendo says), so if you still have 3.3 or below you don't have to be scared of an auto-update

Wait so lets say, I hacked a file of Animal Crossing City Folk for like Maximum Bells (still have Homebrew Channel too btw) and saved afterwards, would my unfortunately updated 3.4 system Wii delete the save file eventually? :confused:

[Romaap]

I don't think so, I think it only deletes modified savefiles

[Blah]

It doesn't really seem like their trying to stop the HBC, but more the twilight hack.

But if they do eventually get rid of our HBC by auto-updating, (I already updated.) would their be a way to make another "Twilight Hack" that would install HBC again?

I can confirm that formatting your wii in the settings does not undo any changes from an update.

What exactly are the downsides to not updating? Can you not play games over wifi? Or is it just the shop and wii connect24/7 that gets disabled.

That being said, to anyone who is thinking of downloading the update, DON'T!! Once you do this, you basicly give nintendo full control over your wii, meaning the second they find a way to delete the HBC you are SOL.

this new update allows auto-updates. so basically, you take this update, and you take every update that will kill homebrew slowly one step at a time.

plus this deletes all your unofficial channels.

We NEED bootmii

You know, those were my exact words after I read the details on the new update. And with the possibility of an update to the Internet Channel, it kind of becomes a race against time.

So if I were to buy a new Wii tommarow it would probably have 3.4 already on it?

I can't say for sure, but I would think that it would be very unlikely that it would have the 3.4 firmware.

I'm sure Bushing will find a good way around this for the TP Hack, I mean, he's done it before and he can do it again. Otherwise, just don't update and use Gecko OS to boot the games that come with updates. Problems solved.

Small problem, that wont always work. The Nintendo developers will eventually find a way around Gecko OS. They might even try hiding updates in SD cards that they plan to release for storing game saves and VC games, new Wiimotes, and other official accessories.

What needs to be done is development of a full custom firmware for the wii, not just exploits and a CIOS. That way Nintendo would literally have to repossess our Wiis to put their Nazi-like firmware in them.

Most Wiis currently shipped are still 3.1 or 3.2

For future auto-updates yes.

And for attacking homebrew.. it is quite logical to first of all attack the TP hack.. because the TP hack is the entrance for homebrew. Once the entrance is closed.. a mini update would be able to delete the HBC.. and bang! Lost.
