Wii Menu 3.3 already hacked, patch forthcoming

Although the Wii Menu 3.3 update didn't undo the Twilight Hack for those who had already installed it, it did prevent new would-be homebrewers from getting their game on -- but like all attempts to outfox the hackers, it's fallen short, and in record time. According to hackmii, which figured out the workaround, the 3.3 update isn't exactly subtle in what it does to disable the hack -- quote the team, "We Are Not Impressed." No publicly-available patch is out yet, but give 'em time, they say they're working on it.

Hehe, cool to see the hacker community fighting back. ;-)

[test] my previous comment didn't go through?

[jimmy @ Jun 19th 2008 7:12PM]

yeah it did but it replaced your avatar with a pic of a pig

[DefPo3t @ Jun 19th 2008 7:16PM]

at least she has the ovaries to post a avatar unlike you............if that's a guy then I fully back the pig statment

[dhytspam @ Jun 19th 2008 7:19PM]

ouch

[Eugenia Loli-Queru @ Jun 19th 2008 7:22PM]

It's funny that people will attack everyone who is not afraid to sign with a real picture and name, while they don't have a problem with people who sign with nicknames or as anonymous, and with avatars of things that don't exist, like anime characters. I see this bigotry almost everywhere. It's like that people are afraid of people who are not afraid. Interesting.

[mac @ Jun 19th 2008 8:11PM]

there is no way thats you.

[Low Ranked @ Jun 19th 2008 8:00PM]

Wait, so are you saying your avatar really exists?

[Osiris @ Jun 19th 2008 8:36PM]

Some people just don't belong in the public eye.

[7on @ Jun 19th 2008 8:38PM]

im in ur commentz stealin' ur identity

[jimmy @ Jun 19th 2008 8:45PM]

one word: conditioner

look into it

[ethana2 @ Jun 19th 2008 8:51PM]

I think you guys are jerks.

What, you think she's going to like, dress up and crap for you guys? Pssh.
She's fine. Leave her alone.

[John B @ Jun 19th 2008 9:01PM]

Some of you people make me sick to be a member of your species. At least she put up an avatar. If you think you're so damned good looking, then where is *your* photo avatar?

[JimReaper @ Jun 20th 2008 10:06AM]

@ Jimmy

Maybe you could put a picture of an ignorant superficial idiot with no real valuable input who resorts to trying (and failing) at making others feel bad as your avatar?

[PCIV @ Jun 19th 2008 7:05PM]

Actually, people DO care

[DefPo3t @ Jun 19th 2008 7:06PM]

your just upset cause ur RROD 360 is currently in the repairshop

[DefPo3t @ Jun 19th 2008 7:11PM]

your just upset cuz ur RROD is in the repairshop

[DefPo3t @ Jun 19th 2008 7:14PM]

gawd I check 5 mins after I post to see if it was posted(it wasn't) and as zoo. As I report Boom! It shows up. ...... D3fPo3t (I.e me) = grande fail

[kyoseki @ Jun 19th 2008 7:18PM]

I honestly don't know why developers bother, no matter how good their software guys are, they are outnumbered 100 to 1 by guys who are just as capable and far more motivated.

[SuperQ @ Jun 19th 2008 7:47PM]

The problem is not the developers. It's the managers that say "FIX IT NOW".

[Low Ranked @ Jun 19th 2008 8:01PM]

[darkstar @ Jun 19th 2008 7:36PM]

will the ps3 be ever hacked??

[Haikibutsu @ Jun 19th 2008 8:04PM]

If I am not mistaken a few months back the PS3 got linux

[mac @ Jun 19th 2008 8:14PM]

and if i'm not mistaken, ps3 has had linux from day 1,
this is also a long shot away from being able to play backups or execute homebrew code.

[ethana2 @ Jun 19th 2008 8:53PM]

It has a frigging Ubuntu port on it, no hacking needed.

We use the vRAM as swap, and eventually we should have 3d on the SPE's via gallium. But yeah, I'm not buying one unless we get the RSX too.

[John @ Jun 19th 2008 8:53PM]

Well, technically he is correct, if by 'a few months ago' he means 19 months. On that being a hack, well, not so much.

[Vagn Henning @ Jun 20th 2008 5:09AM]

No users => no hackers...

[Phoenix @ Jun 20th 2008 7:59AM]

@ mac
"this is also a long shot away from being able to play backups or execute homebrew code."

BS! It's running homebrew code, and there's a (buggy) N64 emulator. And I don't even have that much experience of it! there'll be more out there.

[Midda @ Jun 19th 2008 8:03PM]

You've got your facts muddled up. The update deletes the Twilight Hack even for those who already had it installed, but it leaves the Homebrew Channel alone. For the time being, the people who updated are unable to use the Twilight hack until Bushing and co release the workaround they've discovered.

[Almighty- @ Jun 19th 2008 10:02PM]

If you don't care, why are you posting a comment then??
Go and read some iPhone news!

[Wolfticket @ Jun 19th 2008 11:26PM]

If this continues, soon we will be in a weird world were the hack for a patch comes out before the patch.
And rain fall upwards or something...

[Haikibutsu @ Jun 20th 2008 1:39AM]

Does that mean we get to ride boats and not use umbrellas?

[Vagn Henning @ Jun 20th 2008 5:18AM]

I really don't want to support the sublime assholes that post derogatory comments about how other people look, but I've tried to upload a picture several times, and it hasn't worked yet.

[Vagn Henning @ Jun 20th 2008 5:21AM]

that was supposed to be a reply to Eugenia Loli-Queru's post.
