Wii Firmware Update 3.3

luan87us · 06-16-2008, 09:31 PM

@Snowfrost: You don't need to update to go on internet or playing Wi-Fi games. I'm still playinng my Brawl and mario kart without problem and i haven't update yet but really tempting to for the online chat. Does anybody know thatb the online voice chat work for older games too or only new coming game?
so no one dare to tried it yet? And from some reading I see the new IOS has been activated at last. Does your edited games still work after this? And I'm not into homebrew channels and edited games do you think it more benefit for me to update? I only get game that hasn't been edit and i dont like homebrews stuff.

If I have time tomorrow...I'll update 1 of mine and see what's up..

the info around is still conflicting...

.. which is understandable...

thanks for the sacrifice man. You'll get good karma for doing this. But yeah i've gathered some more info and here what I got:
- 100% TP hacks disabled.
- 80% HBC disabled.
- 100% Truma Signer disc stop working.
None of these came from self experience. Just info from different forums. Some said hbc still work but some said it will be remove or will not load. And users still recommend to NOT UPDATE TIL FUTHER NOTICES!
So modderman do you think it's worth it for me to upate? Because I don't use truma discs nor homebrew. And I really want the voice chat cuz I kinda into brawl with quite many people and i would like to talk to them while playing. Also it'll be nice for mario kart.

After updating, I didn't see any of the the supposed changes posted by modderman, except for the one involving the mii parade. No voice chat, no new mii accessories, nothing. So don't let that list of updates tempt you.

luan87us · 06-17-2008, 12:53 AM

hmm thanks for the info. I have not yet to install the updates. Changed my mind and see what Modderman got tomorrow.

Can i Update it with my VC games still on it?
If the Update just deletes them i'm fine with that but i don't want my Wii to be broken...

You do realize this description of the update was a joke right? The poster on the original board [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register] that posted this said so right afterwards... or go ahead and believe it and try it, pretty easy to check and see if your Mii has new clothes.
