Wii update stops Freeloading in its tracks |
Ó
The Wii firmware update was a pretty spiffy thing, what with the added features and all. Over at Kotaku, Luke Plunkett is reporting some side-effects to getting the upgrade, as Datel's Freeloader software doesn't seem to work with the new firmware.According to Plunkett's article, instead of picking up the disc swapping message that you're supposed to get with the Freeloader software, you instead get a disc read error message that asks you to restart your Wii.
This development is rather disconcerting to gamers who import their games, though unless someone can figure out how to make it work again, you're going to have to make do without Freeloader for a little while.
24 Jumps Custom firmware 5.50GEN-D now out

damn it :(
SAY IT AINT SOO AW I NEED TO GET A JAPANESE WII NOW :-(
***** now it will take forever to get a good freeloader .
a modchip. wiikey still works fine.
for now. i have one, but it can't play the one import I have, so I haven't bothered to install it.
It's deliberate.
They also blocked Modchip config disc's, and various Action Replay/Cheats disc's.
If you can help it, just don't update. I have not updated my Wii so I can still use my Freeloader disc.
What a major kick in the teeth though.
By the way I head that Mario Strikers comes with the update on it's disc. Good possibility that if you get that game it will be an automatic update thus rendering your system Freeloaderless
