Wii Menu Update 3.3 kills Twilight Hack

**firedragon_jing** · June 18th, 2008, 01:55

I'm not worried yet, as I've had the homebrew channel installed for quite a while now, but I am sad that they blocked the trucha as I didn't get a chance to play with it yet, though I haven't updated my Wii from 3.2 to 3.3 yet. I just hope they don't try and block unregistered channels next, but if they do, I hope the homebrew channel gets an update so it can bypass it.

*actually, just read you need a modded Wii for Trucha, so doesn't matter to me anyways.

The "trucha" exploit is also used to install the Homebrew Channel, and other channels, on a modded or unmodded Wii.

trucha is only to allow modded Wii ISOs to be loaded on the Wii with an electronic signature. I read it doesn't work on a non-modded Wii, though somehow Datel has figured out how to do so which is why Freeloader works.

Twilight Hack is the main thing for installing channels, though only a few have been released so far and the homebrew channel has made the others obsolete. I was hoping more could be brought from the Twilight hack, but I guess whatever could be done with the TH could also be done with the HC

i still don't get the message about a new update available, but i don't complain

as i won't update anyway, just wanna see the message

and i don't use the shop channel anymore anyway so i won't miss it when i refuse to update..

True, but the installer also needs to use it in order to install channels...

What is affected by the patched Signing bug?

The Datel Freeloader, modified disc images, certain custom channels, hacked virtual console content, and a plethora of other things that we don't usually care about at Wiibrew. This does however mean that the ISO installer images for the Homebrew Channel no longer work.

If I remember correctly, the only reason that the Datel Wii Freeloader worked on an unmodded Wii is simply because Datel has the ability to produce pressed discs. Without a modchip, the Wii will not read burnt discs.

ok people remember this does not effect the homebrew channel... so if u want to run homebrew you need to install the homebrew channel BEFORE you update

I'm not going to update. Their really isn't a good reason to update and if your wii system gets too full and gets corrupted and you have to format it, then your pretty much screwed.
