About Me
Hello there.

My name is Ryan and I work at a pretty prominent web company. I'm 22 years old, which probably makes me one of the youngest people at the company (out of over 100 people). I have half of a college degree, a full-time job, and now I've got a place to hang out and talk about awesome video games.

Feel free to talk to me! <3

Warning: Wii Update 4.2 Kills Homebrew Channel (shortblog)
LK4O4 | 12:09 PM on 09.29.2009 10 comments


Posted by: Ryan


Public Service Announcement for Wii Owners:

Just so you all know, I updated to Wii System Menu 4.2 this morning, and found that immediately following the update, my Homebrew Channel had been deleted. After looking at the report from WiiBrew, it looks like Nintendo really went to town with this one. The changes include:

+ Homebrew Channel automatically deleted
+ Bannerbomb hack is now patched (although there are two new hacks to replace it thus far)
+ boot2 has been updated, so that means no more BootMii in boot2

Sorry guys, but if you really want to keep the hacks on your Wii, either don't update, or you'll have to wait for a new version of the HackMii installer that can get around the new changes.

EDIT:
Wow, that was fast. You can now download a new version of the HackMii Installer (release notes). You'll have to use Indiana Pwns or Smash Stack instead of Bannerbomb for now, but there's even a Bannerbomb fix coming as well.

As for me, I'll give it a few days to see how the new installer does, and if there's no reports of anything terribly wrong, then I can just reinstall my Homebrew Channel and carry on.

Haha, holy shit.

I don't have a Wii or PSP, but even I feel the anxiety for firmware hackers. To know that ANY given day your firmware could update and delete all your homebrew is nerve racking!

Wii homebrew is a fucking joke, and it's completely useless.

Bring on update 4.2

I had my Wii hacked. I then proceeded to not use any of the features (except loading Klonoa off external HDD) for a month. I updated to 4.1, and now I put the disk in. Wii Homebrew is really not worth it unless you're a dirty pirate.

Uh, you do know that almost after every Wii update, any sort of mods get deleted as well, right? It's clearly stated at the end of every Wii system update message.

I have updated my soft modded Wii in a while, so I just ignored the message telling me to update.

Let's talk about the updated Nintendo Channel instead. Anyone else find Allison to be the greatest update ever??

Holy shit, that's a lot of stuff. I wonder if Indiana Pwns still works...

That's true, homebrew gets deleted, but the actual Channel itself has NEVER been touched by one of these updates. This is actually pretty big.
