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.
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.
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.
