thanks for telling me because I was gonna try Tetris Party before I buy it as i heard there were tournaments in the future.
what are HBC's? I haven't done WAD installs since the beginning of summer for some SNES installations and I'm still on 3.2U.

Wii System Update 3.4U released...
it's that time of the season, so far most modchips haven't been hit by this new update.. This update adds some cosmetic changes to the shop channel and patches some of our beloved hacks
As far as been reported, trucha is patched on all IOS versions (not that it matters anyway)
Wads can no longer be installed!!! ... so yeah, stay away from this update if you want to still be able to play downloaded virtual console/wiiware wads like MEGAMAN 9 and world of goo.....
The software backup loader has also been crushed with this update..
A. Does it affect WADs?
- If you had the most recent cIOS, I believe that WAD Manager 1.21 STILL works (it does for some i believe...), Unsure though!! ( many people reporting it doesn't work though)
B. Does it affect HBC?
- If you had yours already installed, it doesn't, but it seems to block new installations of it.
C. Does it affect Already installed games?
- In no way this upgrade affects anything already installed, unless it is something that must use a IOS, because they have been patched.
D. Can you downgrade and have the Shop Channel working?
- I think you can't downgrade for the time being, so nobody can test if you can enter the WSChannel after downgrading.Last edited by skeletor; Oct 23rd, 2008 at 12:33 PM.

I installed the WAD installer (channel) and it does not work anymore after I updated. Not like I used it anyways but it may come in handy in the future. So if you care about that particular feature then this update will kill it. Originally Posted by skeletor

is it possible to pirate VC titles anyways? I don't see what the big deal is if people are only using it for homebrew.

yeah it's possible for VC.. it's useful for playing some neogeo/n64 games that aren't running in homebrew... but mostly it's about wiiware which has been getting some good titles latey. Originally Posted by mariokarter

On a semi-related note, does anyone know if you can use the Wii Classic Controller with the HBC instead of a GameCube Controller?
I just installed HBC (I'm hoping to get Banjo Kazooie working) and need to buy a controller and I'd prefer to buy the Classic since it has more flexibility to be used with more games and channels._______________
I guess there's nothing wrong with what you say, but don't sell me 'there can't be better ways.' Tell the captain 'this boat's not safe, we're drowning', turns out he's the one making waves. Reply With Quote

Dunno for sure since I don't have the HBC. But most of the coders used some measure of the Gamecube libraries to build their apps. And most anything dealing with installing "homebrew" used the Gamecube controller. Originally Posted by mrcantrell

Since the last update (3.4u). The new games aren't working anymore, e.g.: Guitar Hero World Tour, Wii Music...
Just waiting for a way to downgrade. Reply With Quote

I'm using a wiikey. 3.4U seems to block only the newest games, my old backups are still working.
