Wii System Menu 4.3 (HBC Updated!)

[Hakumen]

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...

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.

[Tyeforce]

i have version 4.3

wat

[Tennet]

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.

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." "
