System Menu 4.2 seems to be bricking non-HBCed Wiis. It doesn't matter whether you've ever installed the Homebrew Channel or hacked your Wii, people who have never even heard of HBC are having these issues.
The problem appears to lie with an incredibly shoddily programmed update to boot2 of the Wii. boot2 is basically the area that "starts up" the Wii. According to the people who have developed HBC, the code for Nintendo's updated boot2 is prone to making write errors, therefore making the possibility of bricking your Wii extremely high, whether or not you have ever hacked or modified your Wii. For this reason I've made this announcement, because it affects everyone who owns a Wii, not just people who like to fool around with modifying their hardware. If you would like to discuss the issue on the forums, the Wii Homebrew thread is a good place to ask questions. Note: If you have already successfully updated to System Menu 4.2, your Wii is safe. The danger is only during the updating process. |
