Hey guys. I don't know if anybody has noticed when they tried to access the Wii Shop Channel, but it's forcing us all to update now.

And, wow, there are a few GUI changes you will notice after the update.

1. They've added a clock to the bottom of the Wii Channels

2. They have highlighted and changed the look of "Today's Accomplishments".

I only just updated, so excuse me if you guys already knew this. If you didn't know, then once you've updated, post here all the new tid-bits you found after installing the update.

It did take a while. I can't give you an exact indication because I am actually using a P2P program that's using a lot of bandwidth, but it took me around 10 minutes to do.

Oh, and the Wii Shop Channel is offline as well, i think, unless it's because my bandwidth is being fully used at the moment. Let me know if you guys got your Wii Shop Channel to work.

OMG, the Wii Shop Channel is back, and the interface has been changed!

Mod Chip Warning


After you update and go back to the update section to before a "test update" you will be greeted with a message that says something to effect that if you have a modified Wii your console may be disabled or lock up. Mod Chippers owned? If you want to cancel you have to power down your system.

What chip do you own? Wiikey?

I have a Wiikey modchip. Wii Shop Channel seems to work fine for me now. It didn't earlier only because I think they were trying to finish updating the new interface.

Hardly. My games still work. The other online channels still work. Only the shop channel doesn't. If Nintendo want to be difficult by cutting shop access then fine. No more VC profits from me. I doubt this is a intentional error because as phatbas says his works.

Yeh thats why i didnt modchip my wii.Nintendo can fry that little sucker.:pYou are all doomed.And frankly you kinda deserve it if you look at it from game companys point of view.They make a game as a living and you get it for free.And when enough people do it it can really lose money.Gaming is a huige industrie and one failure of a game can send a company crashin.Nothing may have happened so far.But eventualy ninty will put something in it.Probs something you wont even have to download they will just send all wii consoles it.

Then what about the laws in Australia that protect modchips? It isn't illegal to have a modchip installed in any console in Australia, it just voids the warranty from the company you got the console from.

Not everybody uses the modchip for downloading games. A lot of people like to purchase the games from overseas, as apposed to waiting and waiting and waiting (Super Paper Mario, classic example, still no hard, concrete release date) for the damn game to be released. Ultimately the company is screwing itself by not releasing games sooner in some regions, especially Australia!



The update message warning only seems to come up when you go to try to update again.

I just went there to check, then held down my power button to turn it off. I think the next update will be the ultimate tester of the chipped Wii's.
