Wii Firmware Update 4.3 is out? blocks Homebrew Channel

[freck]

Nintendo has released a new firmware update for Wii that brings the system menu to 4.3U. As of now, the only thing known that it does is remove the Homebrew Channel. No idea on if any features were added or not, but I?ll keep you posted. Just do NOT update if you have the Homebrew Channel cause it will be removed.

CONFIRMED: Nintendo website confirms the new update is to remove piracy. Here?s what their website says?

Wii Menu 4.3
Unauthorized Modifications
Because unauthorized channels or firmware may impair game play or the Wii console, updating to Wii Menu version 4.3 will check for and automatically remove such unauthorized files. In addition, there are some behind the scenes enhancements that do not affect any prominently-used features or menus but will improve system performance.

Just to add to the above post.....modded a wii today and updated it to 4.2E using the safemod update from here
Then used the older version of the Wii 4.2E softmod sticky.
Everything went fine but youll find that youll only have to delete IOS 250 after the mod....222,223 and 249 wernt included after the safemod method.
Also might be an idea to use the parental controls to lock updates and internet connectivity.

I've got a wii from a friend with 4.3E installed. Better waiting for an updated release.

You can't beat Bootmii as Boot2 and a Nand Backup and if you can't do that,
Make sure you Install Priiloader and Block Disc & Online Updates.

Like you say they will eventually release another BannerBomb & Hackmii, but when eh - It would be a Shame to update and not to be able to use that HDD full of games eh?

[renke_uk]

Why did you not have Priiloader Installed? or BootMii as Boot2?
