Nintendo has released a small update for the Nintendo Wii. Using Marcan’s Wiimpersonator, it shows that the only changes are to the Photo Channel. The version number of the Wii remains the same, and the Homebrew Channel continues to work.

i seem to say this quuite a lot round here but what exactly in english does this upate do???

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

Dunno but homebrew channel ect are unaffected so far..Troy...Greeks anyone ?? lol im staying clear for a while.

[urherenow]

wonder if this has anything to do with the ISO-running security hole... perhaps the exploit is something like the .tiff exploits that were used on the PSP?

I'm sure not updating until I find out...

[____anders____]

oh i haven't even updated to 3.3, i'm still on 3.2

[sheridan2000]

oh yeah maybe this is something to do with bushing/brushing or what ever the plonkas
names is and the security flaw he found...avoid till all is revealed!!!

OK, this probably isn't the place to post this but I'm a little bit of a noob on the topic of wii homebrew....What happens if I mod my wii (something I could do very easily) and then Nintendo updates the firmware..like they did here, I download the Nintendo update and it and it bricks my wii?....Is the wii homebrew scene like the psp where Sony updates the firmware and then someone like dark Alex cracks it a couple days later (or same day lol) and releases a custom version...? or am I stuck on whatever firmware version I was on from the time I mod it and then cannot update any longer? Sorry for this off topic question but any help would be appreciated as this is the only thing holding me back from wii homebrew at the moment........Thanks.

HA it probably is what bushing told them because why would they fix something random in the photo channel so randomly lol, and whats also very pointless is even if bushing tells nintendo , nintendo makes updates -> hackers download update -> Compare 3.3 and 3.4 -> find the iso loading hack -__- all effort for nothing.

This update probably had something to do with the 'Digital Photo Channel' that was released in Japan on the same day.

Also, it is very doubtful that this has anything to do with the security flaw that Bushing found, unless Nintendo had already found it several months earlier. Nintendo would conduct a lot of testing to make sure that the update was safe to install for all users. They wouldn't release a patch just a few days later.
