Wii Wii Homebrew Doomsday!

Yes, the sky is falling...

The June 16th update has been reported to delete Twilight Hack, however, it does not seem to do anything to the Homebew Channel yet.

Users are advised not to update until more information is known.
Un-modded homebrew is temporarily dead and, even on modded consoles. any disc signed with Trucha will also no longer function after this update.

UPDATE from Bushing...

It’s interesting to look at the timestamps here. The System Menu has a build marker of “systemmenu.rvl.0803060727″ – yes, that’s March 6, 2008, 07:27. This update to the menu only accomplished one thing, as far as I can tell — the blocking of the TP hack. (I guess we can count the IOS30 patch together with it.) They spent 3 months testing it — this isn’t actually that surprising, when you consider the potential financial damage if they roll an update out that bricks Wiis.

Congrats to tmbinc and tehpola for finding a combination of two bugs in the code that Nintendo added that — when combined — allow us to fool their check into ignoring the TP hack. More info will be forthcoming — I still wouldn’t rush to update my system, anyway.

This still leaves the issue of how to deal with IOS30; there are several different ways to deal with this — some of which have already been released by people — and we’ll need to take some time to decide on the best one to use and test it thoroughly. There’s no urgency here, no need to rush into something.
