Following Sony’s and Microsoft’s lead at deterring individuals from running unsigned code on their own personal property Nintendo has released a new System Update (v3.3) which deletes the Twilight Hack, prevents you from running it, blacklists Trucha Signed discs and blocks Datel’s Freeloader. Both Sony and Microsoft have taken steps in the past to prevent users from running unsigned code on their video gaming consoles.
The Twilight Hack aka Chainloader used an exploit in The Legend of Zelda - The Twilight Princess to allow amateur coders and their fans to run home made games, emulators and applications not designed or endorsed by Nintendo (referred to as homebrew). This new system update will remove the save game used to run the exploit and will prevent users from copying it back over to their Wii.
One of the major uses of the Twilight Hack was to install the very popular Homebrew Channel. This custom channel allows people to run homebrew stored on a SD card inserted into the Nintendo Wii’s Front SD card slot. Once updated you can no longer install this custom channel, but there are no reports with this new update removing or preventing people from running the channel if already installed.
This new update also blocks Trucha Signed discs. The Trucha Signer would assign a valid key to a modified game disc allowing you to boot it like a normal one. The most common uses for Trucha signed discs was to boot homebrew executables or custom edited games.
Lastly, Datel’s mass produced “Freeloader” which would allow users to play games that weren’t intended to be run in their region (USA, Europe, Japan, etc …) has been blacklisted and will no longer work.
Wie ich eben erfahren habe,
stoppt das neue Wii System Menu Update (16.06.0
den Twilight Hack und fixt den Trucha Bug auch in älteren Versionen der IOS Firmware! Der Homebrewchannel läuft (einigen Berichten zu folge) allerdings noch weiter.
Das Upadte sucht nach dem Ausführen nach modifizierten Speicherdateien und löscht diese, sie lassen sich NICHT neu auf die wii kopieren, das heißt der Twilight Hack wurde damit gefixt…

Gerade eben wurde ein neues Update online von Nintendo bereit gestellt. Dieses trägt die Versionsnummer 3.3 und wie einige bereits berichten, wird dadurch die Kompatibilität des Twilight Hacks zerstört.
Deswegen rate ich euch, dieses Update erstmals nicht zu installieren, da es nicht viel Mehrwert bringt, außer eine Veränderung im Mii-Channel, um Miis auf die Mii Parade zu schicken.
“Because unauthorized modifcations to save files may impair game play or the Wii console, updating to Wii Menu version 3.3 will also check for and automatically remove such save files.”
Update: Auf Hackmii.com wurde gerade folgendes berichtet. Das wäre ein schwerer Schlag für die Wii Homebrew Szene!

The strncmp signing bug has been fixed in IOS30, which is what the system menu uses. (The new signature-checking code is identical to that in IOS37.) This probably means that it will no longer boot Trucha-signed discs, but I have not yet tried it. Early reports on IRC indicate that the Homebrew Channel still works; this is consistent with my understanding that the system menu does not verify the content of already-installed content.
