NOT!  As is not cool.  Not much is known about this update, only that it kills the latest version of Homebrew channel and leaves a question mark in the channel as a place holder.
 
Hopefully we can find a work around, otherwise I have no use for my system anymore.  Dagnabbit, this was a nice alternative to having to pull out my NES, SNES, Genesis and other old consoles weekly.  I was looking around in the WiiShop channel for Rondo of blood and was going to buy it, but the console asked me to update, and said yes, and now it effectively killed my wii system.  I mean Wii games still run, but all of the indie stuff on homebrew no longer works.  Tux Racer for life... :(

no one plays wii so were good 

Why do you have the homebrew channel on your Wii? 
 
Also, Rondo of Blood oowwwnzzz

Don't all of the updates do that?

" no one plays wii so were good  "

How can I put this succinctly?
 
Oh, right.  I don't care.  Now that you've let me know, I'll actually go ahead and update my Wii just to get that out of the way.

Uh, well last spring-ish (2009),  I heard about this game Super Mario War Wii and I wanted to play it, so since you can't run anything on your Wii without this homebrew application that Nintendo does not release through retail or WiiShop, you can't play it.  And then I just loaded up all of my NES, SNES, Genesis and N64 games onto this game so I don't have to keep shuffling around my old consoles every time I want to play Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario RPG, Pilot Wings 64...ect.  It is really nice to have all my old games in one console.

Nintendo not releasing unlicensed homebrew through their online shop?  OH GOD STOP THE PRESSES IT'S A TRAVESTY. "

Wasn't the 4.3U released months ago?

" Wasn't the 4.3U released months ago? "

I think it was the first time it might have been required or something to browse the Wiishop channel.  Last time I played, about 3 weeks ago , never asked.  I don't know.  Sorry.

" Wasn't the 4.3U released months ago? "

God Nintendo are such assholes!  Not letting you put illegal copies of games on your system... what pieces of shit.

BTW, why does it sound like you guys are crying about me installing homebrew software on my Wii console?  I am just wondering because it seems a few of you in here work for the Nintendo Defense Force or something?  Do you guys think I am a pirate or whatever other names there are for "software thieves"?  Just asking because it sounds like I should not even have this?

"Homebrew" makes me want hot chocolate.

Wii Homebrew Channel never bothered me. I recall the Joystiq guys admit that they have used SCUMM on it. Also, it shouldn't be a big deal if you want to play imported copies of games.

Actually, I'm more or less mocking you for your ZOMG DON'T UPDATE YOU GAIZ attitude. "

Clicking this topic finished that First Class! quest for me. Thanks.

Can't say I give a shit.  I have a laptop if I want to play emulated games on my television.  In addition, most modern video cards now have HDMI ports, which will allow the use of your PC with most televisions.  There's really no reason nowadays to crack your consoles, especially the friggin' Wii.

" Hey guys is it too late to hop on the indifference dick-wagon? *hops on* "

The good thing about the Wii is that there is a way to downgrade. Not sure how to go about it but it's there. And I have the homebrew channel installed also. Other people need to stop bitching because There's games out there that I'd like to play but can't because it's not in the Wii Shop.

Man, you people are fucking assholes. If you don't care, what the fuck are you doing here?

do not install cause it gets rid of homebrew=I cant pirate any more.
and please stop with your weak defenses, the major and overt reason to hack your Wii is to play pirate games, you may be able to do other things but thats true of every hacked system ever but still the major reason to do it is to pirate.
 
I do it. My wii is hacked...though I never played it...which is just sad..I have a hacked wii and still dont play it.

" @Mmmslash: The emulators have pretty bad compatibility. What good is an emulator for n64 games if I can't play any of them?  I looked at the wiibrew stuff because I wanted to see if it was as good as the homebrew scene that was on the PSP. It isn't. "

Is it just me or are Nintendo's updates all about stopping piracy, they don't seem to introduce new features or channels just new anti piracy measures.
Seems a bit harsh for us legitimate players.

I'm only here because I searched the term "dick wagon".

I don't think I've updated my Wii for about a year now...

" How do you know enough to get the homebrew stuff working right, but not enough to realize that firmware updates get rid of that stuff?  Most systems don't even warn  you or anything, but Nintendo straight-up tells you when you install, "Don't install this if you have unlicensed software because it might not work after!"  Really man, you aren't telling us anything that Nintendo doesn't let you know on the download screen. "

You should have specified that you only need to avoid the update if you're a fucking asshole.

I don't hack unauthorized content on my console, so I am good.

" @Emilio:  Because the Homebrew community for the Wii is huge and amazing? "

" @WickedCobra03: Most people with custom firmware/homebrew know not to install updates because they know it'll mess up the homebrew so this topic is kind of pointless.  P.S. you're kinda dumb bro "
