I'd just like to confirm that 4.2 is bricking Wii's that for sure don't have HBC. I just heard from a friend of mine who updated her Wii this morning to 4.2, and now it won't do anything (though she said it froze during the update downloading part). She said that the power to the Wii goes on (aka the green light turns on), but it just stays at a black screen. Putting in a disc has no effect. Told her to contact Nintendo. I know for a fact she doesn't have the HBC, because she mainly uses it only for Wii Fit and Wii Sports. She is SO PISSED she can't do her morning routine.
 Looks like I need to contact some people to make sure they don't brick their Wii's. Last edited by Diagol : 09-30-2009 at 05:09 PM. |

Thanks for the warning. To be on the safe side I've also unplugged my Wii to get the red light of complete inactivity since I don't know if the glowing blue light means it's reading mini-updates or the like.
Nintendo, fix this shit exclamation point. |

Well, this is interesting.
I've been lamenting to my self recently about how poor I perceive the Wii OS to be. Having the content segregating into channels isn't the worst part, it's rather how those channels act. Having to launch what is essentially a completely different program with no central overlay (sans "home" menu). Even still, when you finally get to the content in, for example the shop channel, it's hard to view that subcontent. The paging system setup to view VCs is just agitating, no demos, maybe 2 screenshots that you can't even enlarge.... Interesting developments, I'm really thankful for the announcement so that I don't accidentally update my Wii (though I don't even use the hbc or anyhting). |

Haha, I caught one of my friends with the warning as he was in the middle of updating. :P Fortunately it finished successfully and it's still loading games. I actually updated my system to play the Beatles Rock Band on Saturday, but I don't know if the update was out by then.

I feel pretty horrible for all those people that have never even touched home brew, having their Wiis bricked. Nintendo really screwed up this time. Most of the replies on their Tech Support Forum are just suggesting calling in, and then paying $75 for out of warranty units to be sent in.
And that Nintendo 64 emulator looks like the hotness. I want to play Ogre Battle 64 , but I'm too lazy to plug in my Nintendo 64. Shame Ogre Battle is not compatible yet. :S |

Am I reading the title correctly? If I have HBC installed I can update, but if I dont it will brick my Wii (doesnt make any sense)?

Wait a sec. So Nintendo is accidentally bricking non homebrew users and ironically, people who have installed homebrew are fine?

Soooo, in the span of 2 days, Nintendo has really made me re-evaluate how much consumer trust I'm willing to put in their products from now on... Amazing.
Yes, I know updating to 4.2 was optional, but fuck I never expected the possibility of bricking the thing from an official update. *Is scared to turn it on now* |

Sounds like from reading the official Nintendo forum linked in the announcement that it's just a few people whose Wiis have been bricked from this. Some of them admit they powered off the console in the middle of the update.
It's not some massively widespread problem... the update has been out for a couple days. IMHO, the "WARNING!" on this is way overblown and is more the homebrew community to try and sway opinion towards their side. Last edited by thefro : 09-30-2009 at 06:32 PM. |

Jesus Christ. I don't have any homebrew, so lucky I stopped to actually read the announcement and this thread title. What on earth are Nintendo doing over there? Usually I'd look for a silver lining and think, "Hey, maybe now they'll realize that they need to get their shit together," but then I remember it's Nintendo.

Oh Nintendo...
What on earth are these guys doing? Hitting their keyboards with their heads until the next update somehow compiles? How did they not notice the faulty boot2 installer? I'm so happy that I didn't update by accident. |
