3.4 Update

[NPH]

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.

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.

OMG this sounds like nintendo working on an EVIL plan!!!

or... are we the bad guys???

Somethings you need to take into account here.

1. The Wii doesn't have a hypervisor or protected memory, which means there will always be a way to take execution of a game by making it crash or buggy game code.
2. We have the tools and ability such as WiiRD and Gecko to help find bugs in games.
3. Nintendo can't update boot1 as its hashed by boot0. This is the big one, as this means every console is vulnerable to bootmii.

were not the bad guys, its the wad installers, piracy loaders that's fucking up homebrew.

And then the clouds opened up and Nuke said "let there be hacks."

Thanks for the optimism mate. ^_^

yeah, the bootmii vulneribility is unfixable once it's "in".. installing it with 3.4 however is currently impossible..
though still.. yeah, I guess most of us are the good ones.. who pay for games!

If you have the homebrew channel, isn't there an app that downgrades your system?

edit: oh, that wasn't possible since the shop update. Any words of encouragement for me who made a series of lazy missteps leading to the accidental installation of 3.4. xD

You can theoretically downgrade 3.4 if you have the HBC: see http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php?topic=1879.0

Thanks a bunch! I think I've downgraded to where I should be... IOS36, I believe. Currently installing the latest shop channel sans functionality removal.

It turns out I wasn't as screwed as I thought because I thought the Animal Crossing update was the same as this. So all I had was IOS38 from ACCF.

Daaang, this stinks. Im not upgrading!

So what was updated on mii channel?
And the menu, cant really see whats changed after doing the IOS51 installer and Mii update.

As far as I know, USB keyboard support is all that was added to the Mii Channel, but I can't say for sure.

If you used the Wii Shop and IOS51 installer, nothing should change on the Wii System Menu.  However, I believe that there should be some changes in the appearance of the Wii Shop Channel.

Ok thanks, if you did not have homebrew you would had to update to get access to wii shop channel. And if we can easily update like this we can get opera 2.0 easy aswell.

Thanks, lol, while I hadnt been here for a few days almost updated.

[Unknown0]

I have the Wii Shop and IOS51 installer and cIOS.  I don't have to update with something else to use the Wii Shop now, do I?

I'm on System Menu v3.2.

[111]

No, the Wii Shop Channel should still be accessible.

Alright, cool.
