WiiNews:2007-08-09 - Wii Firmware 3.0U/E
From Dev-Scene
Nintendo have released a update for the Wii Firmware but sadly it doesn't do much at all - Giving us an ugly clock and breaking some forms of homebrew.
Wii Menu
- The weather forecast will now be displayed on the Forecast Channel icon in the Wii Menu.
- Headline news will now be displayed on the News Channel icon in the Wii Menu.
- The current time will now be displayed in the Wii Menu.
- The area around the Wii Message Board button will now flash when a message arrives..
Wii Message Board
- You're now able to rearrange the order of your Wii Friends in the address book.
- You're now able to go into the Wii Friends registration screen by pressing the A Button on a blank spot in the address book.
- Envelope message icons will now appear on the calendar only on the dates when a message is received.
- Your message sending history will now be displayed in Today's Accomplishments.
- You can now scroll the message text by pressing the B button on the message screen.
Wii Shop Channel
- The search function on Virtual Console has been enhanced.
In addition to changes to the gui - they seem to have also included a warning message against hardware mods. *it seems that all hardware mods still boot GC homebrew after the update*
It seems that some unofficial GameCube discs such as the Action Replay, Freeloader, Datel’s SD Media Launcher and the Wiikey update fail to boot after the update.
It seems to allow basic support for USB keyboards as it only works in the Shop Channel, Settings Menu and the Message Board - Not the Internet Channel.
