Inky Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 VIA Joystiq: Yesterday's seemingly inane Wii update, which neglected to bump up the system menu version a single decimal value (it remains at 3.3 -- the firmware has upgraded to IOS51, though), now appears to have an actual purpose. Forget the Shop Channel optimization tweaking. The update's more direct mission seems to be to block new installations of fakesigned applications -- most notably, the Homebrew Channel and DVDX. But take note, if you've already got the Homebrew Channel or other unofficial apps up and running then apparently you won't notice the difference. Carry on. as always the old motto: "don't update your firmware stupid!" is in effect.
solidius23 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 if i can help it i usually dont update, but i let my friend borrow my wii and he updated the damn thing i was a lil pissed.
Devia Eleven Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 My Wireless connection isn't even setup at this point, so there isn't anything for me to worry about.
Lucandrake Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 What's updating? if it serves no purpose towards pirate, I do nothing to get involved with it.
basilbr Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Well congratulations to Nintendo for at least attempting [another] method of blocking warez on the Wii. Unfortunately about 3 months too late. Roll on more imaginative homebrew apps.
