]]> Homebrew back

Well, that didn’t take long. New versions of pretty much every homebrew tool that System Menu 4.2 wiped out are now in the wild, ready to take on the new day. This includes HackMii, BootMii, The Homebrew Channel, DVDX, and Bannerbomb. Even if you didn’t opt to install System Menu 4.2, there are a number of solid upgrades here, including fixing NAND dumps in BootMii, and a handful of updates to Homebrew Channel that include more options for display and sorting of installed applications.

]]> Goodbye Homebrew

If reports from WiiBrew are true (I have no reason to doubt, and therefore don’t really want to test…), System Menu 4.2 is likely the most proactive attack on Wii homebrew that Nintendo has released yet. The likely results are as follows – most of your homebrew will be deleted. The Homebrew Channel will be uninstalled. The Bannerbomb exploit no longer works. BootMii (as boot2) is overwritten. Preloader will not load. This is all do to a few technical changes – the System Menu now uses IOS70, earlier IOSes are modified, and boot2 is upgraded to boot2v4, the cause of strife to homebrew hopefuls on the so-called ‘LU64+’ machines. If your homebrew matters to you, best hold off on upgrading for a while.

The latest Wii system update is now available, although somewhat a bore and a party pooper.  The update will block all Homebrew applications from working on the console (sorry modders). Additionally, the update will provide behind the scenes fixes, which isn’t nearly as fun as, say, an update that gives you a customizable Wii Menu, or adding ears to the Miis.

Either way, the 4.2 update is now available.
