Wii Update 3.3 Kills Feeloader Too?

[Darksaviour69]

Oh dear. I'm getting reports starting to trickle out of Australia that the latest Wii update (3.3) has done more than block the Twilight Princess save-game exploit. I'm hearing it's killed Datel's Wii Freeloader as well, which if true, will not go down well in Europe and Australia at all. Especially with Smash Bros' imminent - and very late - release in PAL territories in two weeks serving as a poignant reminder of just why so many people own a Freeloader in the first place. I'll update once we get some confirmation either way.

thank god for modchips gutted for the rest of you though who have to decide between this game or homebrew, personally id choose homebrew everytime but this game is wicked, I imported it.

What do you mean "this game"- the update comes from the internet, not a game (and I think it's too late for Nintendo to put the update in Brawl, it comes out in two weeks)

[Yami Mario]

I aient updating then.

[bandit]

Dont update the system.

Didnt the Freeloader bypass the updates? I reviewed it but never got the update and since got rid of my imports.

Also, the homebrew channel has a Gecko Region Free. I dont think this is killed as Homebrew Channel still works after update.

aah no!!

i won't update, cus i still want to play SSBB!!

Yes, the freeloader can block updates from games if you instert it twice before you instert the game you wanna play without updating

EDIT: i posted this in the other thread also, but here it is again..

i found this on hackmii.com, maybe this gives us a little hope:

Congrats to tmbinc and tehpola for finding a combination of two bugs in the code that Nintendo added that — when combined — allow us to fool their check into ignoring the TP hack. More info will be forthcoming — I still wouldn’t rush to update my system, anyway.

I'm tempted to just mod. I'm worried HBC will be next and I will have no way to get it back. I guess I should wait it out a little longer. It sucks that Nintendo forces updates on everyone with certain games.

Seriously, Never buy retail, always buy used. Stop giving Nintendo your money. Express your deepest dissatisfaction by boycotting Nintendo, and telling everyone else you know how bad nintendo is.

I mean, We put Sega out of business for treating us bad, Why not Nintendo too? I have not bought a sega or sony product in eight years, And now I cannot buy nintendo either? To hell with Nintendo and To hell with Japan.

[Joel92]

you know capt trips, even though you buy used, the person you bought used from still payed nintendo... in essence, it makes no difference.


oh yeah.... so you are saying that because nintendo doesnt want random people hacking onto the consol they made for us to use, we should completely boycott them?

[Capt_Trips]

No, I am saying because Nintendo is hacking on our consoles, which are private and personal property, We should not only boycott them, but maybe bar them from doing business in the US for violations of the law.

Nintendo is acting like the pirates.

It is not piracy if it is a spoil of war. It is not piracy if you have a letter of marquee and reprisal.

I am just saying, Joel92, this is a new low in the world of gaming--a low low enough to get people to stop buying, and what is worse, Stop Playing.

Even though Microsoft is more evil than Nintendo, Sony and Sega combined (well, maybe not Sony), at least it is American.
