I will make a video soon announcing this to spread the word. Also stay tuned for forums!
I might/might not make them. If you want forums vote in this poll in the sidebar which will help me decide in making them or not.


I just uploaded a new video! It is about a new AC:CF hacking tool called PattViewX (Pattern Viewer Xpress). It is only available for VIP members at http://www.game-hackers.com
Now, I'm not a VIP member but I got to try a press demo that Vash offered me and I made this video showing all of its new features. It is a great program so if you like PattView and if you like what you see in the video, you should consider getting VIP at game-hackers.com if your signed up.

More Info on VIP status: http://game-hackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=539

I decided to wait at least a week before posting anything about Wii 4.2 on my blog since I though it would take at least a week or two until a fix came out. Lucky for us, Nintendo was so dumb they only changed the title id of the homebrew channel so a fix was available within 48 hours (today). Talk about Nintendo failure. Anyway I'm not going to make another video on how to get the Homebrew Channel on 4.2, I just updated my already existing video and posted on my site and twitter to get the word out. So on to the fix and information.



Sep 29, 2009: Nintendo has released a new version of the Wii, 4.2. If you update through Nintendo you will upgrade to this version. This version deletes the Homebrew Channel and disables the bannerbomb exploit (v1).

Fixes:
If you've ALREADY updated your Wii to 4.2 use Bannerbomb v2 to get the Homebrew Channel:

If you HAVEN'T updated to 4.2 but you WANT TO use the Hackmii installer v5 (http://www.bootmii.org) to update your homebrew channel to 1.0.5 with it. Once your Homebrew Channel is updated you can update to 4.2 and the Homebrew Channel will still be there. However it is NOT recommended to update to 4.2
