[Ricano]

[[Nook]]

Anyone want to by my Wii? $100

Let me guess. Your Wii got bricked.

No, Nintendo is just complete bull*censored.2.0* now and I'd rather have a Xbox, kinda surprised it hasn't though sense I have the homebrew channel and haven't updated it

Good thing mine's unplugged. I hardly ever play it. PS3 is where it's at now. :3

Hell yus ;D
I havent touched the wii in months

that's what she said.
lol sorry had to do it!
xD

OHOHOHO!

Also... random thought... If someone played with someone who hacked... That wouldn't effect it right? o:

I updated mine a few days ago, and I've noticed no problems at all. Will something happen eventually?

Quoting limited to 5 levels deep

Agreed with Horus. The only thing that keeps me playing my wii, is either VC Games or the Homebrew Channel. Did this group of people hack in the past? If so, I'm sure they got bricked because Ninty's update looked through the history of the wii, whatever the case is I didn't even know about this since my Wii is gathering dust in the closet, which I only use it for Streaming or recording YouTube videos on some cases. In fact, I still play my N64 where I used to have my wii, getting new games for it off ebay or amazon.

I updated and my wii is fine. Sadly, nintendo has destroyed the homebrew channel and it's gone.

update with HBC?

the *censored.3.0*? .-.

 

[Jrrj15]

AHHH HEEEMMMMMM As ive heard it only happens to people with hombrew cause nintendo is sick and tired of it lol (no really its people with homebrew)

 

[Blue Cup]

It's not a guaruntee that your wii will or will not become bricked. This happened to a few people, however. Don't update until Nintendo fixes this.

Thing is, Nintendo won't fix it. They may repair bricked Wii consoles for free, but the update is unlikely to change.

This update adds a replaces the old boot2 files on the Wii with boot2ver2, and it's that file that is causing consoles to break down on people, whether they have homebrew installed or not. There's also an updated cIOS, but that's not what's causing this problem.

These measures are put in place to prevent homebrew channel installation, but already that has been worked around simply by changing the ID which the update checks for every time the console turns on. All Nintendo really did here is jeopardize millions of consoles over something as minuscule as homebrew. It's not like sales of Nintendo products have been affected or anything, they're still the top company in terms of hardware and software sales.

I myself have the homebrew channel and have yet to update yet in fear of the brick, not from losing my precious HBC(which I have already updated along with bootmii to ensure that I still have it after the update)

For those of you that are worried about your Wii updating automatically: Don't. It's illegal for them to do such a thing. They would have some severe legal issues on their hand if they did that, even more so than they do now.

 

[SilentHopes]

I had homebrew, I updated, my wii is fine, except I don't have homebrew anymore. And without updating, you can't use the wii shop channel. If nintendo was smart, they'd allow homebrew, because it makes the wii BETTER.

Whew thanks I was about to update.

Well... That's good to know three days after I updated <.< Is there anything I can do, or should I just sit back and hope nothing goes wrong?

That's arguable.

Well, Ninty hates the fact people are using HBC for pirating games and using WADS to get Wii Shop Games for free.

HOLY CRAP. I updated it...

R.I.P Patrick's Wii. Let me see if it works...
