SHOTEH FOCK OP · (02-26-2008, 01:50 AM)

That was helluva fast download.

Kagari · (02-26-2008, 01:51 AM)

AWESOME. I keep getting an error every time I try to update.

VOOK · (02-26-2008, 01:52 AM)

JodyAnthony · (02-26-2008, 01:52 AM)

I got the update. Poking around now.

StrikerObi · (02-26-2008, 01:55 AM)

Here's hoping this speeds up channel loads.

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.

Lee N · (02-26-2008, 01:56 AM)

Just updated.. at first glance I don't see anything new. Though I suspect Nintendo is trying to fix the zelda sploit.

Windu · (02-26-2008, 01:56 AM)

It unlocks the ability to play games in 4D, right?

No, it's unlocking the second GCN. Games are going to start looking better!

Protecting Yuro from importing Brawl ?

Oh man. I love that gif. So old.

Scalpel Knight · (02-26-2008, 02:01 AM)

Updating now. I'll report back on if it actually borks the TP hack, which I doubt.

Kyoufu · (02-26-2008, 02:02 AM)

Second Gamecube-core unlocked?

Mejilan · (02-26-2008, 02:04 AM)

Bah, I was wondering what that blue light was about, since I had just done my usual Monday night routine (Wii Shop, Votes, Mii Contests, refresh News/Weather)... but if that's all it is, I won't be shutting off Lost Odyssey for it.

twinturbo2 · (02-26-2008, 02:05 AM)

Can someone explain the TP hack to me? I'm contemplating buying a Wii, and I should know about this...

Scalpel Knight · (02-26-2008, 02:05 AM)

TP hack is just fine, as expected.

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

Hm, I should dig a little into this. Tell me more.

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.

You can run Pong.

Well, you can play Tetris. Hopefully we're getting there to import

nincompoop · (02-26-2008, 02:10 AM)

Has there been any progress on that TP hack? I want Wii VNC! (The internet channel solution is slow and crappy so it doesn't count)

twinturbo2 · (02-26-2008, 02:11 AM)

Okay, if this leads to the region lock going down in flames, I'm all for it.

Wii · (02-26-2008, 02:12 AM)

Someone needs to make a 'Region Free Disc Channel'

Metal Gear?! · (02-26-2008, 02:13 AM)

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.

Oh shit really? I thought all there was was a non-functioning pong game.

Really. Read the Slashdot article Metal Gear?! linked. All the sites linked in that article are slashdotted right now, of course...
