Another Wii Update

[arctic_flame]

It turns out Wii Brew have a strange sense of homour. That's right folks, they've stated it was a "hilarious" hoax - an April fools joke. Maybe they should check their calender once in a while.

Anyway, I guess an apology from me to you is in order. BUT, that's not to say Nintendo wont update the Wii to stop the Freeloader, so just be extremely careful when you update the Wii.

All ic an say is WTF WTF ..now i dunno what to belive now =/

I don't think so. Wiki vandalism was reverted.

Shouldn't the news update, to tell us it's safe? I'd also like to hear some confirmations. (Europeans downlaoding the update

).

 

[arctic_flame]

It's perfectly safe.

I'm not sure if the update contain the Trucha fix or not, but I believe it do. I will wait even if it's not activated. If it's there and not activated, could it not be set to be activated on a certain date? If it's there, and is activated by for example Mari Kart, and it is possible to remove the Trucha fix, I believe it might be more easy to remove it before then after it been installed on the Wii.

If it shows up that the whole thing is a hoax, then I have lost noting. If it is not possible to remove, then I have lost nothing. To be frank, I don't see why I should update yet. The update is not yet needed, right?

On wiibrew it says on the homepage that the trucha killer update is only oout for usa consoles right now. Is this true or is it on uk and jap aswell.??

Ahhh.. to hell with all this speculation. What I think is if someone can write a program to remove duplicate channels based on the trucha bug. Surely sooner or later some genius can code one to upload modified firmware.

 

[Lloyd14]

So this means if I update I can only play original games. Not my burned?

 

[ecdsds]

No

 

[Lloyd14]

No

So this only goes for trucha games?

Attention, just some noob though :

The channel removing method made me wonder this too :
Does the firmware (IOS) is signed for 1 Wii only, or is the same for every Wii ?
can we extract files from Wii flash memory to SD card or USB?
And can we install extracted firmware on another Wii ?

1- Extract IOS36/37 (the one for WiiWare without the Trucha fix), each files are kept individually on the Wii, right ?
2- install it on Wii without the WiiWare update, without modifing the firmware which is signed, to have a WiiWare enable Wii

OR

- Delete ISO37 with Trucha fix for people who did the final update, which is not activated yet by the Wii Menu?
But it might be registered in a wii config file as already downloaded, so deleting this file could make the Wii not booting or not updating it later :/



Another noob wondering :

Is there someone with firmware datas from nintendo update site (extracted by sniffing network transfer with Etheral while updating)?
if we can put the updating file on computer, and use a proxy to redirect the update URL to the local file (PS3 proxy update method), will the Wii install it correctly ?

That program doesn't depend on the trucha bug, it uses the Zelda exploit.

 

[Mr.kuchinawa]

When will this fix begin to block trucha?

 

[Prime]

When will this fix begin to block trucha?

When the next wii update comes....

At that point, "homebrew channels" would be considered "invalid" by the system. marcan now contends that having one installed and going to an update using IOS37 will brick your Wii, giving a "The system files are corrupted" message.
I just performed some magic and confirmed that having the homebrew channel installed and installing an update to the system menu that uses the IOS37 will brick your wii, unless Nintendo specifically addresses this problem in a new system menu. There is a simple way of avoiding this: simply delete the channels before updating.

OMG. That's mean from Nintendo

[Mr.kuchinawa]

This is probably a stupid question, but japanese dual channels will not cause a brick, right?

 

[raulpica]

Who knows. They should not, as they've seen as "system channels" from the Wii, and they're signed and have a valid signature by Nintendo.

It's just speculation, though. Although I think that Team Twiizers would say something, if that was the case.

I just read that now.So if i update it right now.It will not have any effect? So could i just update my wii with this update and just after that not update anymore ?
I feel so tempted to update because i want to play Final fantasy
