Despite Wii Update - Homebrew Lives On

Deathsythe | June 23, 2008 | News | Wii Misc Gaming Tech/Hardware 
Even though the new Wii Update "kills" Twilight Hack and your means of running homebrew, an update has already been released and it works! More info and links within the article.
Earlier this week, Nintendo released firmware version 3.3 for the Wii in the hopes of deterring some of the homebrew work being done for the console. The update nixed the commonly-used "Twilight Hack," which made use of a modified save file to launch homebrew applications. It didn't take long for the community to respond, though, as a fix has been released which counters Nintendo's efforts.
