4.0/4.1 update

[Jassim]

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!

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

[ssbbdude]

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.

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!

[Jassim]

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

[ssbbdude]

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!

[ssbbdude]

backups we use backups?

[Jassim]

it affects the twilight hack too aparently, and dvdx

[Link]

backups we use backups?

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

[ssbbdude]

ok

[Jassim]

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?
