Wii Wii Homebrew Doomsday!

Yes, the sky is falling...

Quote:
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...
Quote:
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.

Official notes...
Quote:
Wii Menu version 3.3 is now
available for your Wii Console. To
update your Wii Menu to the latest
version, please select the Update
button at the bottom of the screen
or select the System Update option
in Wii System Settings.

With this update, you can now
move a Mii from the Mii Plaza to
The Mii Parade in the Mii Channel.
To do this, simply pick up a Mii
using the A and B Buttons and
then release it over the Mii Parade
icon in the upper-right corner of the
screen.

Because unauthorized modifications
to save files may impair game play
or the Wii console, updating to Wii
Menu version 3.3 will also check for
and automatically remove such save files.

**Please note:
If you've updated your Wii Menu
after June 17, you may not need
to update again.

Thank you for updating your Wii
Console

<Nintendo>

Does this seem to affect backups?

No, unless the disc was modified with Trucha signer.

I did not think nintendo would go after the twilight hack.

I does prove my theory about edited save files.

Does any know if Datel's powersaves are also affected since they are edited?


I knew they'd go after trucha, although I wonder why the HBC still works.

Let's hope bushing and gang can help us out.

Looks like no updates for me.

Well hopefully they will find how the wii checks and just fix the save so it can't be detected.

I just downloaded the TMD for the new system menu and ran it through tmp-dump and it says it uses IOS 30?

Can that be correct?

The version says 354 where the previous one was 289.

Since Nintendo does not force you to update the play online, we won't be required to update yet.

Aww man that's a bummer. At least there aren't any big games coming out soon, I have no reason to upgrade from 3.2 at the time.

Are there any people working on modified firmwares? I guess it would be possible to take new updates and remove the anti-homebrew measures. This would also be pretty illegal, though, so I don't know if it's something most of the homebrew community is really interested in doing.

Custom System Menu might now be necessary now since the Twilight Hack was the best and easiest method of using homebrew.

I would think it would be possible to remake the save file so that it cannot be detected as modified.

I don't understand why Nintendo would block trucha and not homebrew channels.

Guess it good that they didn't

Update from Bushing...

Quote:
Update 2: Okay, now this is just silly. Two functions have been added to the system menu. Guess what they do:

* ipl::utility::ESMisc:eleteSavedata( (unsigned long long, EGG::Heap *))
* ipl::utility::ESMisc::VerifySavedataZD( (unsigned long long, EGG::Heap *))

We Are Not Impressed.
June 16 Wii update

ZD = Zelda?

If that is the case, couldn't a similar exploit be found, and used, on a different game?
