Much, much faster here.
Best thing about update is that the guys in the other thread can stop killing themselves over waiting though

Wii Mode Homebrew Channel untouched
Have they made progress on that btw?
Does the Configurable USB Loader work?

Yes. A long press powers off the console unconditionally (as with most other devices).
I think they'll actually stick to releasing it this summer. I'm guessing they want everything running smoothly before they're games start coming so people have less to complain about.

Hmm. I don't remember installing anything. I just downloaded it and clicked OK when it was done and it rebooted and that was it. It took about half an hour. It wasn't very exciting. Bring on the VC!

Nice! I was just checking out some Injustice screenshots yesterday and thinking it was a bother to click on them one by one.
I don't get the point of the "Turn off Wii U Pad display" option when pressing B to exit the options menu turns the display back on again. It should stay off until the user touches the pad again or something. I would like to turn off the display while I watch Netflix movies so I don't have to keep the damn controller plugged in all the time.
I also don't understand why the +/- zoom controls in Wara Wara plaza are shown on my TV, when those controls don't do anything unless I switch the view to the U pad. That's confusing UI design.
Otherwise the update is nice, but still a bit slow in parts, like exiting the settings menu.

Oh, you have to not use that controller. Try a wiimote or the Pro controller.

I think those can be used by a Wii Remote if you happen to want to use one.
"Software downloaded from the Nintendo eShop will include released updates and will no longer need to be updated after installation"
Are you listening Sony?
God damn this pisses me off on PSN. Just need some games on eShop and I'm sure its have been just as annoying.
Updating now, little sad that I got excited for an undo button.

Came downstairs about 4.30 this morning to let the dog out for a piss and thought I'd kick off the update before going back to bed.
When I came back down a couple of hours later the pad was just showing a blank white screen.... shit it, thought I'd bricked the system.
So had to unplug from the mains.... praying that the update hadn't started before going bang.
Turned back on fine though and updated fine second time round (although I had to download the update again)

When you first boot it up it gives you an option to enable / disable standby.
The fan actually runs on the Wii U while it's in standby mode unlike the Wii, and it's not connected nearly as often (considering the Wii was constantly updating for the News/Forecast Channels, while the Wii U just stays on for download queues). So it should be fine.
I just don't wish to risk my Japanese Wii U bricking, as I need it for my site and don't have easy access to repairs for it
Thanks. Almost done with the update

The standby downloads are just like on Xbox 360, right? Set it to download a demo or something, shut it down, and it will enter standby and shut off after the download is complete?
Yeah. I think it might also check to see if any of your current games need updates, as well as whatever is already in your queue, but don't quote me on that.

Its still spring, They promised spring
Its still April, and the week they said it would come. And it came.
Not sure why you even assume that.
And no, the joke was lame, if it was one...

Mysterious, perhaps you should check your TV-Preferences-Menu and not your Wii U-Preferences-Menü. If you connected your Wii U via HDMI there could not be an overscan if the TV-Functions has been correct adjusted.
Times like this the gamepad is very useful - quick switch on and update, no need to turn the TV on
This
Very nice, hopefully Sony will follow suit on PS4. Downloading a huge game, only to find it immediately has a huge patch is infuriating. MS have this too but their patches are generally so small they don't get in the way

From the wording of the OS update notes, it sounds like it also periodically polls the eShop for instructions to download updates even if the console is off and the user has not initiated the download.

So now screen size affects also WiiU games other than os and such?

Update is awesome, too bad it won't keep me from turning on my Wii U cause the lack of games

Ok, yep, it is a good bit faster. I like what I see so far. I can't wait for the next batch of fixes.
For real, that download was a monster. What is the file size anyway?

Just 679MB if I remember correctly
That's like a 2 minute download on my PC with full speed

Yes. That's why I said 'unconditionally' in my post : )

There's something really wrong with Nintendo's servers or something...
Yeah, nah. This makes me really mad. They allow Wiimote support if you just want to move the page around and click, but to use your bookmarks and to type you actually have to use the gamepad.
If I'm using the Wiimote, I probably don't want to constantly switch between that and the gamepad. Come on.

Well, the service is free after all.
Yeah it does. I hope the summer update is better.

I have this speed problem on PS3 also, before I had PS+ I always downloaded firmware on PC place on USB then update (now I just let PS+ download at night when I sleep), because it took seconds to download on the PC compared to 10+minutes on the PS3.

2 hours plus for a few hundred MB? I don't know, Sony doesn't have that problem do they?
Oh, interesting. Still, you'd think it would be a bit faster than that.
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Yeah that makes no sense. They got it right on Wii, why wouldn't they just evolve that design?
Are you sure, have you tried the different buttons and things, like on Wii with some setting you had to press 1 or 2, I forget, to get the bottom bar on screen and click on settings, bookmarks, etc.

I tried every button. I guess not. If I'm missing something, someone please let me know.
TBH it is Nintendo's fault it's not like this Akami came with a knife to Iwata's door and forced them to outsource it to them.
