Hackmii Installer .7 (http://hackmii.com/2010/07/hackmii-installer-v0-7/)

Compatible with 4.3! If you've already updated, you'll require some work-around method or to install again with either Smash Stack or Indiana Pwns (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_channel#Prerequisites).

If I may say, it's absolutely beautiful. -picano

-----------

EVEN WORSE THAN 4.2.

Do not update if you want to keep your Homebrew. 4.3 does a better job of deleting it and making sure you can't get it back.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/System_Menu_4.3

If you want to continue using the Shop Channel, use WiiSCU (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/WiiSCU). (Thanks, mnsg!)

Thanks. You just saved my ass, Vyse.

Well no one should have updated anyway, only and idiot would have.

Prepare for a barrage of  topics saying, HOW DO I GET HOMEBREW ON 4.2???

I wasn't going to update at all. This just reminded me to turn off wiiconect24 because I don't know if that will download it by itself. (Just wanted to be safe.)

I've heard that the 4.1 update doesn't actually contain any code that will let Nintendo update your Wii when you're not looking.

Still, I keep WiiConnect24 off at all times.

Soon as I saw "unauthorized software" in the system message, I knew it was going for my HBC. You can't fool me that easily!

Indeed, brother. As I see it, hacks is what makes the wii actually worth purchasing rather than just playing it at a friend's house. Nintendo should embrace the hackers. Maybe even invite them over for some tasty tea and crumpets.

they r not concerned about the brawl hacking, textures, movesets, stuff like that. They r worried about the plp who pirate games such as brawl or other games.

Understandable, but that'll just make me wanna buy the wii even more. Can't beat free games. (Don't lie, you, too desire free games. Give into the darkside.  >D )

Well, they finally did it. Nintendo got rid of the Homebrew Channel...kinda. Apparently the update removes the Homebrew Channel, but you can easily reinstall it using Indian Pwns or the Brawl Stage Builder exploit. Anyway, I intend on updated my Wii as soon as I have access to wi-fi that works for it, so I need to know if the SD loader and everything will still work. Has anyone updated yet, and are any Brawl-related hacks affected?

ok I'll admit, I have a couple of pirated games and all the others games I backed up onto my terrabyte HDD. I buy the games I support like The Conduit, Dead Space Extraction, Mario games, Zelda games, Pokemon Games Pretty much all the major francises and people actually trying to change the wii's image to a mature system and not a shovelware system.

 :sonic: YOU'RE TOO SLOW!

http://kittycorp.freecp.net/index.php?topic=3036

Edit: I don't think this update has any purpose besides disabling homebrew, so... why are you jumping to update ASAP?

"ummmmm yaaaaa how do i getz homebrew on 4.2"

:notimp: Good one.

Because I hate having an outdated Wii.

But there are no positive aspects to this update whatsoever.

I just don't understand, I guess.

Why? If the update offers less than the one before, why want to update?

I can't stay at 4.1, I have to update. I can't live with having an out of date Wii. I know, it sounds dumb. It just bugs me a lot. Unfortunately (or fortunately, because it gives me more time to see if it's 100% safe or not...), I can't connect my Wii to the wi-fi where I'm at, so I can't update. >_>

What do you mean offers less? If you mean less as in less homebrew, that doesn't matter to me. The only homebrew I use is Gecko OS for Brawl. I just hate knowing that there's an update for my system out there that I don't have yet. I guess it's just a little OCD thing I have.

It offers the exact same as 4.1, but without any homebrew capabilities. You wont even be able to use gecko or play burnt games, just about the only game you will still be able to use codes on it brawl and even that is an annoying process to go through every time you need to test something.

Uh... No? I haven't heard this disabling the Gecko OS channel.

This doesn't seem like a too important update (like 4.0 was), so I think I can live without this one.  :)

Yeah, neither have I... I heard it just removes the Homebrew Channel, which you can easily reinstall with the Smash Stack Stage Builder exploit.

Hopefully they release a new hack for 4.2.
I'd hate it to end up like PSP homebrew, where downgrading is pretty much impossible.

I traded my PSP for a friend's older one so I could hack it. Didn't wanna make a Pandora battery x_x

Making that damn Battery is equally impossible now, All new boughten PSP's are at firmware 5.0 or higher.

If you buy an used one its usually already updated.

My PSP died entirely, it wasn't bricked, a change in battery didn't do anything, so I don't have homebrew on it anymore.  :oshi:

lol, Nintendo fails.

There are already two; Indiana Pwns (http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Indiana_Pwns) and Stack Smash (http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Smash_Stack).

Having a not updated Wii bugs you?
You realize there is NO change between 4.1 and 4.2. Except for deleting the HomeBrew Channel.

I assume that you need the game discs to do any of those. (In that case, I'll be screwed if I update.)

Seems odd to me that i havent recieved this message on my wii yet. But anyways, after i downgraded my wii to 3.2 (it went to 3.3 after my sister played animal crossing) i just left it like that.

Edit: Yes, i do live in the US.

Don't go trying to fix what is not broken. You might regret it later on.

yeah.. well I do both :D
I do like to modify games, but I also download games that don't need extra stuff (i.e. I bought Guitar Hero..)

..I'm still on 3.2U!

Though, I wonder what IOS70 is for...

Whatever, there shouldn't be two topics on this. I'll go merge them.

Me too! Awesome!

Oops didn't see this topic lol

I buy my games out of respect... and because I bought almost all of them before I got the HBC.

That's not my problem, it's that you need the HBC to PSA hack :(

I need Gecko to everything-hack. I don't give a crap about pirated VC games.

AHAHAHAHAAHAH IM TOOO GOOD. I NEARLY DOWNLOADED BUT IMMEDIATLY TURNED MY GAME OFF. I WANT MY HOMEBREW. >:C

Why? You have Brawl, don't you? The Smash Stack Stage Builder exploit should work just fine.

Regret what? it doesn't disable Gecko OS, which is all I use Homebrew for.

What I mean is don't do something so needless like updating for the sake of updating, especially with such high risks involved.
Yeah, I have brawl....via usb.  :af:

I'm gonna have to update sooner or later when Nintendo includes the update in a new game disc, so why wait for the inevitable? And I'm guessing your disc drive is broken then, right? Why not send it in to Nintendo to fix it? That's what I did, and they sent it back 100% fixed, everything exactly how it was when I sent it in.

There are ways around that. Easy ways.

Homebrew is 45% of the reason why Nintendo still has fame. >.>

Tru dat, yo!

Most games don't include firmware in Wii games. Usually it just adds some needed files to the Wii's memory and if it does there is a code that disables the update.

I'm on 4.1 because it didn't delete my HBC. I only upgraded from 4.0 because I want Majora's Mask.

wat do u mean? i have majora's mask and im on 3.2u lol

QUESTION!!!

When I turned on the HBC today, it asked if I wanted to upgrade to v0.5.  I did, so does this update mean we can upgrade to Wii System 4.2? (I haven't even TOUCHED the 4.2 update, and am finding answers here before I do anything.  Last time I updated w/o checking, I bricked my Wii :'( )

that's what cIOS are for.

v0.5 is the HBC update I guess.
No, don't update to 4.2. Never. There's always a way to get around the updates. I'm on 3.2U and I'm playing GH5 and VC games :P

good to know

Just to make sure: System Menu 4.2 = always  >:( >:( >:( ?

maybe, maybe not.
but stick with what you have right now.

okie-dokie!  :af:

Could I get a direct link to the quoted material, mnsg?

One word perfectly describes this latest action by Nintendo:

'Failure'.

Ya should look at Marcans blog.

Haven't found those quotes of bricking yet.

another question:

If Nintendo comes out with an OS that works for us in the future, will we be able to skip past 4.2 and strait to the good one?

Thanks, Shadow.

I needed 4.0 to get access to the Shop Channel. But it might be that MM came out before the newer Shop Channel, or you just got a .wad.

Shop Channel, and IOS61 installer is now out, you know.

thats a very good question sir. im guessing 4.3 will also fcuk up ur wii and delete homebrew.

Well for those who don't know yet, since my Homebrew Channel updated, I went ahead and decided to do the Wii update myself.

Not surprisingly, Homebrew stayed once the update completed.

So I think it's ok to install the wii update now.
(Though I still do not suggest turning off the power during said update)

It might be "OK," but there's no reason to do it.

If you don't desperately need access to the shop channel, don't update, because all you're doing is risking a brick.

OMFG GUY I UPDATED HOW DO I GET HOMEBREW BACK FOR 4.2....Help....xD I got that message from a guy in my clan...>.> so yea I heard smash stack works on getting homebrew on 4.2 but I haven't tested it

There's an IOS61, and shop installer app out if you want to access the shop channel.

sooo i herd that 4.2 wont delete HBC but itll mess up preloader and bootmii so its not recommended.

BUT what worries me are the new games coming later in the future (NSMBW, Metroid, SMG2)
Will they have that madatory system update? I know that brawl made u upgrade to 3.4 and Metroid Prime 3 got u to ...3.2 i believe?

And i know someone will say "just download the ios and use usb loader" but i want to actually play them and own the disc. So im asking: do u think that those games will come with the system update? (New Super Mario Bros Wii might but i doubt it...)

Get something like Starfall to skip disc updates.

Jeez, I can't believe no one knows anything about these apps.

Nobody uses these apps, Only USB Gecko is used.

The rest of the apps on the Homebrew channel suck.

USBGecko isn't an app... <_<

Oizen, you clearly don't know anything about Homebrew apps. Starfall, as mentioned, is good, as are things like FTPii. Backup launcher and USB Loader are homebrew apps. DVDx and a media player can turn your Wii into a (sorta crappy, but serviceable) DVD player.

List goes on, but I've made my point.

Yeah the app is Gecko OS no USB Gecko lol I know very little about the apps. but staying in topic. i installed DVDx on mi Wii. Then I inserted a DVD in my Wii and it still wouldn't read it. Is there something else I gotta install?

well he was sortof talkin to me and he was taking about that the good apps are USB gecko AS in USB Loader and Gecko OS. im pretty damn sure he knows what hes talkin about...
besides i just wanna kno what i can do to prevent system update. u said somthin like starfall? hows the success rating? cuz i havent herd of it

No one has ever shorten, and combined the names of two apps. He obviously was mentioning only Gecko OS, since I've seen a lot of people get confused between a USB Gecko, and Gecko OS.

For Starfall, it only works on 3.2U, and 3.2E. It blocks disc updates, allow region free channels, get rid of that annoying Wii BGM, recovery mode etc.

well thats crap for me... im 4.0U

I thought Starfall had been outdated :S

i thot that too... since i havent herd of it

Well, all I know is that. I`m a lucky muther[censored]a. My wii works fresh. I will never update from my 4.0 :3

When you say, get rid of that annoying Wii BGM, you can replace it by another one correct?

Getting rid of the Wii background music is pointless. No one spends so much time on the menu to the extent of it getting annoying. Unless your one of those idiots who leaves their Wii on all the time...

A custom wii bgm sounds nice. Not nice enough to downgrade though. Oizen has a good point as I don't leave my wii on long enough to pay attention to something so miniscule.

Doesn't matter if I don't know much about it. I do know that The homebrew channel is mainly used to dump ISO's and use Gecko OS and the occasional USB launch. Most of the other things I've seen with it are lame, I'd much rather Watch a DVD on my computer then a Wii.

"durr hurr im ignorant so dat dont mater"

Coming from a 19 year old who likes to play with Pokemon Trading cards.

You don't need to point out that I don't know much about hacking, cause I know that and I don't care about most of the crap the Homebrew channel can do.

I just thought you of all people would phrase that insult better.

He he, nice burn.

Edit: It was a joke, right?

Where the hell did you pull that Pokemon card bull[censored] from? Talk about expecting better of people's insults... You criticize me, then say something not only wrong, but irrelevant and asinine? How hypocritical are you?

So how, exactly, are you justified in saying "The rest of the apps on the Homebrew channel suck" when you readily admit that you don't even know what they are? Are you just some punk talking trash to sound cool?

When you act like a moron, I treat you like a moron.

pokemon card bull[censored] hahahahaaha

No, it just makes the bgm muted.

And lolVyse.

I never said the insult had to relate, but going back to 2nd grade mockery? Clearly this is a new all time low for you.

I never intend to sound cool. Cool guys suck. Acting like that is lame.

What sucks is the emulators, the DVD Player, The Homebrew app browser,listening to music, and pretty much everything that doesn't involve playing a Wii disc or iso.

If I were to live by your philosophy, then if you act like an asshat. I'll treat you like an asshat.

Well sorry for having an opinion anyway.

oh ill just leave it like that then. thanks

I've used the Wii DVD player a LOT. It was VERY useful, and some features are better than normal DVD players (and computers).

i installed DVDx and Homebrew even asked me if i wanted to update it and everytime i put a dvd in my wii it still wont read it. what am i missing?

Then my wii is probably crippled. DvD's don't play well, same with the N64 emulator. It always goes really slow.

Why would you use an N64 emulator when you can just get a wad ._.

The PSX emu sucks (or it did half a year ago when I tried it), but pretty much all the others are good. You have no idea what you're talking about. You admitted as much yourself, so it's not like you can deny it.

Surely you're not implying that acting like an asshat is abnormal for you. Because that would be funny.

I love those dam video tutorials on youtube. got my dvdx installer n Mplayer to work now im watching Kill Bill lol i highly reccomend it for anyone who doesnt have it.

This can be broken into segements all described by images:


 :ikepalm: There aren't wads for every single game out there you know.


(http://distractible.org/wp-content/plugins/RndmImgs/Captain%20Obvious%20evil%20scientist%202.jpg)
It doesn't take a genius to point out that your just regurgitating my words. I wouldn't deny it because its true. Most of this hacking stuff is boring so I don't bother.


(http://imgur.com/jUn4q.jpg)
I'm not the one who comes in and starts the insult. You did, asshat. :srs:

cuz not every n64 game can be wadded. games like bomberman64, mystical ninja, EVERY RARE GAME (b&k, diddy kong racing, goldeneye)

henceforth, u want to use the emulator to play these f-ing awesome games cuz if you try to find them on the internet to buy... ur going to pay up the ASS for some of them.

I just downloaded the Snes9x emulator app for the homebrew channel. is there a way to actually put it as a channel instead of having to access homebrew everytime?

You need the MPlayer app for HBC. DVDx just makes DVD's readable. MPlayer is the actual DVD player.

lol yeh i already stated in my old post that i got it to work n its great man. it reads original AND bootleg dvds :happy:

lol Did you guys see G4's "The Feed"? They said there was a new HackMii for 4.2 already.

Advertising HackMii.....That has to be the the first time G4 has done anything video game hacking, hell Nintendo related in over a year.

would u mind posting the thread here?

 :srs: Holy sh*t!!!!

the only reason I haven't updated that thing is 'cuz is kept forgettin'.

thank god I saw this post,otherwise I woulda' been f*cked big time!!!!!!

Nintendo's startin' a war with the hackers of the world... :>.>:

and thus, the world war 4 has begun...

4? where's the 3?

Taking place right now.

I sure feel like if I was in a war. ¬¬

yeh nintendo is playin no more games lol big [censored] goin on

I haven't been paying attention much, but is there a way to safely update to 4.2 without removing homebrew and such (With no risk involved)? I'm still on 4.1, but I'm going to need access to the wii shop channel when the Beatles DLC comes out in a couple weeks (So I can add more points).

I don't see why it's an issue. I got my Wii with 3.3, and downgraded to 3.2U. It's going to stay that way, permanently. I don't care if my system menu is older, since it actually works with no retarded protection. 4.0 introduced NOTHING useful to the Wii; even the SD card thing is utterly pointless, and I don't see why anyone would want it.

What I'm saying is, don't bother yourself with updated. You'll just screw yourself over. If your current system menu works, just update your cIOS and call it a day.

Really?  I accessed the Shop Channel quite a few times and it still works good for me.

Im on 3.2U and i can access the shop channel with no problem. I just downloaded the Internet Channel from there, of course now that its free lawl

i think i updated to 4.0U cuz my slight OCD kicked in. Rather have a full round number than a decimal. That's my excuse. What... im not crazy... :af:

Weird... I was forced to update in order to access the Shop Channel a while ago, when I wanted Guitar Hero DLC.

4.0 was the update to include direct downloads from wii shop to sd. any updates that havve to do with the wii shop are necessary to use wii shop.

4.2 has to do with wii shop but im not sure what it does tho...

did anybody else actually updat to 4.2 without their [censored] messing up?

Although, I can see why it is useless since people can download the games back again after purchasing them, but to some having the SD Menu to transfer and access your WiiWare games and VC through that channel which I find it convenient, specially if you want to save space for the Wii for other channels and whatnot. Not to mention the usage of SDHC, which I use to watch my shows and movies.

I do agree there is no point in upgrading to 4.1 or 4.2, whatever the choice may be stay with 4.0 and below.

I can't access the wii shop channel on 4.1 but others can? What's wrong with my wii then...

Get the shop updater.

Why would you even need the shop? I mean most of the wads are already on the internet for free...

I did.

Not everyone is a pirate, you know. Some people actually like to support Nintendo.

Why would anyone support a company that so often gives its fans the finger?

Though they are bringing back Golden Sun. I like them for that.

burn


even bigger burn

Because there's no wads for getting the songs for Guitar Hero or Rock Band (Especially Beatles when that has songs up for download in a couple weeks). I can't add points unless I go into the shop channel, at least to my knowledge.

Otherwise, I wouldn't really care until a good VC game comes out like SSB64. (And no, I don't like using emulators and roms on my wii)

SSB64 is already a .wad, you can use the .wad installer.

again... not everyone likes to wad. besides... doesnt it feel better when you actually own the game instead of illeagally owning it?

Example: I fucking love Earthbound but when it came out i was like 3 years old and my older brothers didnt like rpgs yet plus we didnt have 80 bucks. So obviously ive been playing roms of  the game which is ok i guess... but i want the cart and the guide.

Golden Sun is canceled.

j/k

yeah yeah yeah... srry for the language hax

u lie...
it was freaken promoted at Nintendo E3 conference

No.

aye aye, captain OizenX

lol i love how u put <insertwhatiputhere> nice idea princess

Shh...
<_<
>_>

Still doesn't help me wanting GH and RB songs.

Just update through Nintendo. As long as you have HBC 1.0.5/1.0.6 installed, you should be fine.

Oh... My... Fucking... God.

IOS61 AND THE SHOP INSTALLER!

Sheesh, if you use that app, you'll get the shop channel without updating.

In fact, I'm editing the first post with it.

http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Shop_and_IOS61_installer

Download:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7SY8O82H

Not risking the brick, and I think I still have HBC 1.0.1. I've never updated my HBC since I got it a year ago.

The chance that your Wii will brick is very unlikely, and what reason do you have for not updating the HBC?

The shop installer messed my shop channel...

I'd rather not risk any chance of brick after it almost happened a few months ago.
Because whenever I click on 'Update' on the main menu of HBC, it tries to but fails to update. And I also don't want to update HBC unless I have to, since it works fine for me at the moment.

this [censored] just got on my last dam nerve. i get this message sayin "Update" for homebrew, GBA emulator and other [censored]. and I update them and they still ask me too. wat the fuck?

Yeah, I doubt that. <_<

Details...

Updating the HBC can't brick your Wii. And you can always download the newest version from WiiBrew and install it manually. HBC 1.0.4 and below won't work on Wii Menu 4.2.

I meant the chance of brick from the nintendo update to 4.2.

In the unlikely case that it does brick, you can just send it in to Nintendo to get it fixed...

On the other hand, since there's nothing whatsoever to be gained from updating... why take the risk at all?

Whenever I go to the shop channel now it acts like it reboots and the log says I was there for 1 minute.

Try reinstalling?

I did.  I think it's permanently messed up.

i have version 4.3

Why take the risk, when there's nothing to gain, and only lose your Wii, save data, and possibly even more?

>_>

it would be nice to update, but im not taking a chance of fucking up my wii and lose everything. i worked way to much on my wii n lose it over something so stupid.

wat

what?
i'm trying to make as much sense as you

I dont intend to update my wii to 4.2, but I have a few questions.

1) I only have the homebrew channel and I ONLY use it for texture hacks and Brawl+.
If for some reason I wanted to update my wii to 4.2, if i removed every trace of hacks and HBC I could, would it be safe to update if i did that?

2) I have 4.1, is it safe to download games from the wii shop channel?

Probably just going to wait for official documentation from the twiizers team.

according to http://www.destructoid.com/wii-update-may-be-bricking-innocent-consoles-150539.phtml

In there exact words:

"Remember the new firmware update which Nintendo just sent out to do away with all those nasty people who have been running the Homebrew Channel? You know, another one of those feeble attempts to lock something down which the hacking community will have found a workaround to with in a couple of days?

Well, it's already been worked around for those of you who don't mind voiding your warranty, but we all knew that was going to happen. Where the actual news comes in is that there have been reports of the update rendering perfectly normal, unmodified Wii consoles inert.

The issue seems to be occurring during the downloading process. Reports on NeoGAF and Nintendo's technical support forum claim that the download is freezing before completing and then will not reboot. Word is that the changes to one of the programs is causing write errors which prevent the system from starting up.

To their credit, Nintendo has already addressed the issue in a statement on their support forum (who says hackers are the only ones who can work quickly in these situations?). They claim that the issues are predominately occurring on modified consoles but have offered assistance in the form of free repairs to Wii owners who have never -- even unwittingly -- participated in such shenanigans as doing what they wish with the product they spent their money to own.

This is what we refer to as "collateral damage." "

very interesting to hear in their exact words wat they gotta say. thanks for postin n cheers to the hackers >D

The first post has a link to something similar to this....

So those anyone have HBC on 4.2?

*raises hand*
Works just fine.  Shop Channel never makes me crash or anything.

ok well wat about the apps? do the wads install normally? everythin works fine n peachy? hmmm

Well, I just go with the Gecko and nothing more.  Music/Movie player also works fine.

I updated, nothing bad happened here. :)

I hope everyone else is gonna be alright!

wat u mean nothin bad happened? homebrew didnt get deleted?

Update the HomeBrew channel the the latest release, VIA Wi-Fi, then update, I didn't know it would remove homebrew channel, and I randomly got "Homebrew Channel has a new update" Message, then afterwards decided to update my wii, homebrew still there.

Is there anything new to update that is worth while having 4.2? I mean granted the NSMB (New Super Mario Bros) Wii might make upgrade. But just wondering. I was also reading on Wiibrew that they found away to keep homebrew with 4.2 but a different method.

yeh but its all buggy n [censored]. i still havent heard of someone that has 4.2 where everything works perfectly. nothin messes up and wads work fine. only reason why i would download 4.2 is if the SMBW game needs to be on 4.2 which i doubt n i miss when i had the little sd icon thing on 4.0 where it would go on n off depending if the sd was inside or not lol

Actually, NSMBW DOES require 4.2, but Gecko can bypass that.

So, from what WiiBrew says, there's a chance of the Wii getting bricked even if it wasn't hacked?  That's BS.

Lemme get this straight, I update my HBC, update the Wii, and I'll still have HBC.  What about my Gecko wad? Does that stay? It wouldn't work anyways, considering that it's a 19.2b Gecko.  I'm just scared that this'll brick my Wii.

hmmm good point idk what to do. Some people say it is safe while others are saying it is but you void your warranty. or people are just saying no it doesn't work sigh just wish nintendo would admit that they for once made a mistake. I understand of not pirating games but Nintendo is technincally doing the same by releasing .WAD games on the Wii which are just edited roms.

It won't brick your Wii. It's safe, trust me. Don't listen to people who are telling you not to update when they haven't updated themselves, so they don't even know.

Don't tell people to update when you don't know [censored] about what's in the System Menu.

Anyone starting to make decisions for other people will receive their post deleted, and a warning. I'm tired of this.




It's YOUR (the person that has the thoughts of updating) choice, and YOUR choice only.

If you want information on the damn thing, it's in the first post, so [censored] TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT.

Sheesh.

i still dont understand wat the big deal is with updating the system menu. if u do update to 4.2 n ur [censored] fucks up dont come here crying "oh em gee i dont have homebrez anymoor" well [censored] ur an idiot for updatin it when theres a chance of it bricking ur wii. now if u have big hairy balls n want to do it n it magically worked n nothin got deleted or no brick (which i doubt) then good for u.

It's for NSMBW...

@Shadow
I DID read the first post, but I just want to know what the chances are that my Wii could brick.

Well I tried it I updated my Wii to system Menu 4.2 seems like I can run Homebrew apps but haven't tested them yet. However if you currently play Brawl+5.0 from the SD card the Homebrew + Gecko OS trick doesn't work anymore. You have to use the StageBuilder thing from Brawlplus.net which in terms sorta blows due to no custom music, or textures atleast thats how its going with mine currently at the moment. Hopefully Nintendo will release another update which will fix this or maybe the Wiibrew team can find a way around this.

And yes I even tried copying my old files over and those didn't work either

Nintendo fixing something they are trying to stop?  The [censored]?

lol I found something to fix my problem with 4.2 apparently it was my Gecko OS that was messing up. There is a 1.9.3 version somewhere I forgot where but the 1.9.2 and 1.9.2b do not work with the new firmware.

Gecko OS, or usb gecko? please say gecko OS. if OS CAN bypass that, then i don't need to update to play SMB Wii, i just need to go to gecko OS instead of the disk channel, and it should work fine, right?

Gecko OS.

okay, so i can easily just run SMBWii with that right? nothing else i need, or any other gimmicks?

Yep, just run it through there, and that's it.

sweet! thanks. i hope someone comes out with  fix for the 4.2 upgrade. my friend wants me to hack his wii for him, but he already upgraded.

... That's what BannerBomb v2 is for.

Is it possible for something to be made that gets rid of the nearly-forced update thing?  By this I mean, when I get NSMBW, it won't say I need to update.  I'm not complaining about using Gecko, because I use that all the time for Brawl, but it'd be a lot more convenient to run it normally.

um i really don't think that  theres a way to prevent it since nintendo does what sony does on some of the games automatically putting the firmware in the disc. But overall Bannerbombv2 does work and majority of my stuff is working now my emulators and roms, and Skins and musics are working. If you run Gecko OS it works you just need the 1.9.3 version.

Here is a link of how to get it.
http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php/topic,4375.0.html (http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php/topic,4375.0.html)

Besides BannerbombV1 not working and Gecko 1.9.2. 1.9.2b not working with 4.2 there really isn't much. However the reason why I updated mine is (Not sure if True) but if you load NSMBW through some form of Gecko I guess the game would randomly freeze. I'm not sure if this for all forms of Gecko or if its just past versions or if its just USB Gecko. But I really don't feel like "State Saving" or whatever its called everytime I beat a stage.

You can run it through a program which gets rid of the Update Partition.  Sadly, I can't remember what it's called.

Do you mean preloader? Because that can disable update checks.

DAM IT! I have madden 10, but u have to update to play it, i know my way around the have to upgrade thing, but obviously my brother and his friend dont >:[

So, i walk into my room finding out they upgraded my wii...It is COMPLETELY broken, my dad is all like "we'll send it to nintendo theyll fix it" but im all like "no they be hatin on h@xx0r$" and my dads all like "im not buying you a new one"

...b4 i bore u anymore, i jus wanna ask, is there any possible way to fix the wii after its been upgraded?

if u backed up ur wii's NAND using bootmii then yes, if not then ur screwed

looks like im screwed... :'(

everyone should have bootmii just in case something happens like wat happened to u. When u get a new wii install bootmii on it and back up ur Wii's NAND. Using that u can install any system menu on it thats in ur region. As long as u have bootmii installed as boot 2 (I dont recommend installing it as an IOS) U can restore ur Wii when it gets bricked

idk what a NAND is >.> but i used to have bootmii but i deleted it so i could fit psx isos in my SD card

NAND is like a wii system menu.

Did anyone read the first post on page 12? As long as you updated HBC to the latest version with wi-fi, v4.2 didn't delete it. My wii isn't bricked either, and my WADS are still there.

Ah i see some ppl wants to play NSMBW,can you use codes if your playing on a old system?
I have 4.2 and HBC i can change certen things in the game *Cough*Cough files*Cough*

There seem's to be a new update past 4.2 I'll update to see stuff. Edit: I still have HBC thank god.... update  is 4.2u?) HBC still works fine.

wat? 4.3 came out?

I just updated to 4.2 via New Super Mario Bros. Wii... and my HBC is still there. Should I risk trying to boot it up?

AFAIK the only time an update has bricked systems was the old 4.2, which replaced the boot2 to try to get rid of BootMii. I don't think it does that anymore, because it could brick consoles without homebrew as well.
Nintendo doesn't want to break your Wii, they just want to get rid of homebrew.

what happens when 4.3 comes out? can we just use this again to update?

Don't update your Wii ever.

and you won't have that problem.

My brother updated the wii, and the SD loader still works fine. No problems :)

^did he have it as a channel?

Alright, I've updated the first post. Thinking about sending out another mass PM warning everyone.

lets just say this:nintendo is an [censored]

I updated to 4.1 and everything seems to work fine. The reason was to show off though....
There are no improvements on the new 4.3 that 4.1 or 4.0 have so what's the point of updating....except showing off...

This, also I don't have any games that need an update to be installed in order to play them (yet). Just wait 'till some HomeBrew hackers come with a new program that can be used on 4.3. Just wait, just wait.....

Your right, no new content was added, but we all know the new games coming out will all make you update, so you'll have to play them through gecko, but eventually we'll get past nintendo and they'll update to 4.4, etc.

All Nintendo does for updates is remove anything that isn't Nintendo-certified or whatever.

Yeah. In other words, if you want to kill homebrew, update your Wii.

Sigh.

Yes, That's what they mean by "This update provides behind-the-scenes fixes that will not affect features but will improve the overall system performance."
what a drag

I am a victim of 4.3.

"A new IOS which is shipped with "Your Shape". IOS58 provides functionality to the USB Camera that is included with the game. Included in System Menu 4.3 update."
What does this mean!?

it means that if you want to play "Your Shape", you need to either update or install ios58.
in other words, you don't have to bother.

Connect24 does not download any new updates. I always have mines on all the time to get messages from online friends, it doesn't download any updates. So don't get concern about that. Anybody being in the homebrew wagon, why would it occur to anybody to update anything from Nintendo. You just don't do it. lol That's why you wait for Wakikinoko's firmware updates if you want any beneficial upgrades for your Wii.

is there a safe updater like for 4.2? where it took like 20 minutes to update to 4.2? it was on smashboards...because i dont want to go through changing my IOS cuz idk wat mines is or how i know and i dont want to have any risks.

different question....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc6RbYWo4vA

in here im using a new wii that is already 4.3.  im using the DL in the link of the vid and ive followed all the directions but the wads are missing...i have 4 wads that dont load which is supposed to happen btw...and im missing 4 tht are supposed to load..also i do get to the hackmii screen it says im missing something and that my only option is to quit...I NEED HELP!

Does your controller shut off?

yea it does but thts not the matter...(plus u can just use the GCN controller...)

but can u help me with the above question?

@masterpimp


Modify button exists for a reason.

GETTING HOMEBREW CHANNEL ON 4.3 IS POSSIBLE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc6RbYWo4vA&NR=1

OK so about 4.3 its an uneeded update its really for more parental control methods than anything else, but still as we all know it kills homebrew.

._.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc6RbYWo4vA&NR=1
HBC is possible on 4.3

I'm worried nintendo may find a way to FORCE us to update by like when you buy a new game by them they might have it where It will only work on updated wii's

._.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc6RbYWo4vA&NR=1
IS ANYONE FCKING WATCHING THIS?! ITS THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEMS

HEY SMART ONE I SAID MAYBE WHICH MEANS LATER ON!!! I DID'T SAY NOW

F#cking noobs these days! >:(

Also by buying black wiis. What a weird way to force us eh?

Isn't that method a risk in doing so?  As in, it has a chance of bricking your Wii?

I just use this 4.3 method to load gecko os. i don't need homebrew when i can just do brawl cheats with the use of smash stack.

no...it adds on functional quality whatsoever, its meant to get rid of hbc. thats it.

no acutally its brick free :D
It even protects your wii from bricking

Watch your mouth with your swearing Pokechao! Same goes for you bones!

I think people should NOT update to 4.3 and wait until the people of the HBC made a 100% complete update for 4.3.

I read the message, it also heightens security for games parents dont want their kids playing yet. 

LOL it's been about two years since I last updated my Wii. n_n

Fine...he better not say something idiotic like that again though...I'm 4.2

lol Did anyone notice nintendo's clever way of preventing homebrew up till now?

1.2: Oh look the wii now has a useless clock at the bottom of the screen
2.5: Oh wow, the nintendo channel weeeee
3.2: Oh sweet, a stupid little SD channel that takes me RIGHT to the SD memory channel thing in options weee
4.3: 0_0;;; wtf my homebrew is gone xD
lol
Nintendo should focus more on piracy laws than homebrew, the creators of homebrew channel did not make the piracy any worse, they just made it possible for everyone to do so without screwing their wii xD

Firmware 3.2 still works fine for me. I just would like to use the look at mii channel and the shop channel again. It tells me to accept using WiiConnect24, but i don't want to. Is there another way?

It is pointless for them  to release new updates for the task of deleting the homebrew channel. It stops people from having the channel for about 5 minutes before a new exploit is found to work, and nobody will be stupid enough to upgrade without some sort of backup plan on how to get it back; especially when it is offering no new content.

http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Shop_and_IOS61_installer
and
http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Shop_and_IOS51_installer

No there's no other way wiconnect24 is the wiis internet. No internet no channels like those its like playstations PSN

What should I do if I have updated because I made the stupid mistake of doing so?

Nintendo: *releases 4.3* Yes, no more hackers!
Me: *doesn't update* sorry dweebos :P
Nintendo: :( *starts thinking of another system update*

XD

nintendo: NO MOAR HACKAS YAYZ
me:sorry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc6RbYWo4vA&NR=1
nintendo:crap, foiled again!

Lol.

*Next day.*

YouTube: "Video removed by Nintendo's request."
Hackers: WTF!  *facepalm*

Lol

*day after that*
Nintendo: *Releases menu vers 4.4*
Hackers: ***k this *restores homebrew again and puts it on youtube*
Nintendo: *game over jingle from SMB plays*

XD

Anyone who has a hacked Wii better have WiiConnect24 turned off or expect to be screwed over.

Like me -_-"

They cannot upgrade your wii with out your consent. IT IS ILLEGAL IF THEY DO!!!!!!!111!!!
Anyway I have mine on all of the time and my wii never been upgraded with my consent, sorry.

they updated my sister's wii without their consent
but thank god for that vid i posted

She must have bought a new wii because, they have to have your consent,
There is no other way they can.

no she had this wii since 2008
they updated without her consent

All new wii come with the most updated hardware I got mine in 2008 as well. And started out with 4.2. If she has 4.3 then some had to of done that for her. Nintendo is unable to upgrade her wii. However, on startup, when you get a new wii, they ask if you want automatic updates.

It's Nintendo we're talking about, they put something in their software that makes them capable of updating the wii themselves. Cause they can and they will if they are sure that you hack.
How they find that out, i have no idea but they do...

Ok, so the automatic updater, is very similar to windows. If they have something important,and you have the automatic updater on, they can because you let them.

HBC Updated! Works with 4.3, Smash Stack or Indiana Pwns required for clean install.

Info in first post.

What happens if you do it with any other method?

Umm how did homebrew channel update itself -_-;; lol

It did X_X at least they were nice enough to ask if I wanted to first, unlike SOME major companies XD

true and it looks better

Oh snap I has Wiiconnect24 on.... Hmmm I beleive that automatic updating is not real though but if it is here are some ways they will do it. Trough Wiishop, Playing Online, Leaving your wii on stanby(when your wiis led is orange), Aids, Accidently clicking yes, might also happen trough something you download or even come with a new game

lol Aids? XD
And I doubt it would come with a new game >_> The only things they COULD upgrade through games would be how the system handles graphics/controls etc, at least that's my guess.  Otherwise I doubt they'd waste the ISO space XP

Yeah I agree with that, besides that they could do that for a game, only because Of newer controls. And remember 4.2 it gave us an SD card thingy in the corner.

Isn't Wiiconnect24 constantly connected to the internet if its on? That would explain how.

Yeah what upgrade was it when the clock apppeared? lol

And no, if you pick no when they ask you if you want to update they can't update it BY LAW. Their license agreement would contradict itself, because they're taking away a privilage that they gave you (the ability to decide) if they did do that. I guess they could Ghetto fix that

NO they cant legally do that.

they can update with retail discs, when metroid prime 3 came out i was using an outdated menu and it updated it from the game

See what I mean people are going to have to update  eventually anyway.

I've been on 4.0 for a while and I know people who are still on 3.4.

There are many ways around updating. Gecko OS for instance can load games and install required IOS (skipping the installation of the disk menu). There have been many patchers / "safe" updaters created.

It may be a bit of a hassle... but its possible to avoid.

Wow I reallyh had no idea.

when i updated to 4.2 homebrw was there and everthing but ios iso were not working than i fixed that with soft moding

is there anyway to update the wii to 4.3 now? i have 4.2 and i just got the updated homebrew channel.

No Joker Snake. Why would you want to anyways?

i just like to be updated...idk i dont like stayin on the old stuff all the time...

Yes, a new hackmii has come out, so if you want to update, you can.
Link: http://hackmii.com/
Download the 0.7 file, and preform your prefered meathod again (Stack Smash, Indiana, etc.)

You're a little late you know.

D'oh [censored], 4.3 got updated. Question is, is it safe?

I'm not updating >_> unless that update letter says something besides "This update does not affect features but does some 'behind the scenes'   work that improves 'system performance' overall. If you updated before *insert last update date here* you may not need to update again" I'm not buying [censored].

Gee nintendo why not just go out and say it. "YOU MOTHER ***ING HACKERS TAKE THAT!" *chimed evilly*
XDDD
Seriously, every time there's a new version of the homebrew channel I get an update message with that answer, bull[censored]~

Error installing. (-1035)
The installation did not complete successfully.
Press Home to exit.

:notimp: my sisters better keep wiiconnect24 off or else

You know, Nintendo actually has nor legal right to remove and void warranty the on HomeBrew.


Someone should sue. :af:

On top of that, let's add this. They may as well change the license agreement to it xD

By purchasing this product you agree to the terms of service and the following. At any given time Nintendo will frequently update the wii software and hardware. This is an optional(but suggested) part of the agreement. By Clicking I accept you agree to the terms of service and nintendo has the permission to update and/or remove software from your system without your consent at any given time. This software that can be removed is anything not provided with the purchase of this system (IE we get to screw with your preacious Homebrew) and/or not sponsered by nintendo or it's respected partners.

XD
WTF  I just made it sound real @_@ lol

Agreed, they removed Riivolution from my Wii.

Great! :D

*sees what's new*

I think I browsed this topic enough to conclude that it's safe to update the Wii to 4.3 and still get my Homebrew channel back, along with the use of Gecko OS, is that right? The only reason I'd like to update it is so I can go into the Wii shop channel this coming week to get Sonic 4, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

Sorry for bumping this topic! >_>

SONIC 4?? NEXT WEEK?? xD
*goes off to get a wii points card*

(http://images.starcraftmazter.net/4chan/for_forums/cool_story_bro2.jpg)

I updated my Wii, sadly, and no longer have Homebrew... but I only updated, because I got Donkey Kong Country Returns and it FORCED me to update, or I wouldn't be able to play it. I didn't realize that the retarded update would REMOVE my Homebrew Channel.

I installed Priiloader so I (read: other people in my house) could play Kirby's Epic Yarn w/o updating.

I used Riivolution to get past it. But my sister didn't know about this and updated my Wii when Just Dance 2 asked for an update.

I updated my wii. I got no notifications, and HBC was still there

haha im scared to go back on 4.3 my wii will brick :srs: cause i wanna use the priiloader for videoplayer at the start of the health  warning

though i have question if you have  homebrew but  some weird things have been happening example: i try to start up homebrew broswer and it gives me and error  

those that mean im semi bricked?

my wii didnt ask for update (its currently 4.1)  I used priiloader to disable the disc-based update requirement (when going online without priiloader blocking online updates, the game may block you from online gaming until you update....)

Whats so bad having a outdated wii? Your homebrew needs will be easier to acess on 4.2! :D

The OP should note that if someone insists on updating, they should install the latest homebrew channel BEFORE updating their Wii, because updates don't affect the latest HBC.

http://hackmii.com/2011/08/letterbomb/
anyone tried this?

edit: my bad i thought this was stickied. it was on the first page at least O.o srri i posted in a dead thread.

quick update!!

there is letterbomb, the easier way to get homebrew with 4.3,

it requires your wii's mac address, an SD card, this exploit uses the wii message board to boot the hack mii installer


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnQU34wCIoM

I posted already about letter bomb the day it launched =_=

i have a question, please reply because i don't wanna brick my wii again :(. so i bought kirby's return to dreamland and my wii version right now is a 4.3U, but Its telling me to perform another system update? what should i do? please respond, thanks in advance

dont bump a dead thread >.>


and load it via Gecko OS
