Wii Menu 3.2
This update does not affect any prominently-used features or menus; however it does provide some behind the scenes updates that will improve system performance.

The most recent update was on February 25, 2008, which upgraded the Wii Menu to version 3.2. This update allows a notification to be displayed across the Disc Channel if the current game disc inserted into the Wii requires a system update in order to be played.

^^ That is awesomely useful.

It's a way to run homebrew Wii applications from a SD Gecko or USB Gecko, using an exploit in Twilight Princess.

You can exploit a buffer overflow to run arbitrary unsigned code using an exploit in Twilight Princess's save system. Nothing practical has come of it yet; just the very basics of homebrew.

It is not possible for Nintendo to "fix" the Twilight Princess Savegame Hack with a firmware update. The only way to fix it is to fix the game discs themselves.

You copy a hacked save via SD on your Wii, then start Twilight Princess (Wii version, of course). Load the save and wait a few seconds - the game crashes and you'll see an ELF loader. This loader allows you to run applications from special GC memory cards. The homebrew scene is already quite active, so far we got a port of Pong, Tetris I believe, a proof-of-concept Linux minidistro, a MP3 player and a port of SNES9x.

Someone figured out how to launch homebrew from a save file in Zelda TP.
