Nintendo Blocks Homebrew Installation

ElementC writes "Sometime yesterday Nintendo uploaded the latest Wii system update. This update quietly patches a few bugs that allowed the installation of both homebrew and warez apps. Currently installed apps such as the Homebrew Channel and the video DVD library, DVDX, are reportedly not affected. Those not installing this update are blocked out of the Wii Shop channel and in the future may be blocked out of certain games. Team Twiizers cracked the last update within about eight hours. They’re already on the case. Readers familiar with the architecture of the Wii will find the list of currently discovered changes interesting."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
