Homebrew Channel beta9 works with latest system update

Question:

Can its SD compatibility allow me to play my legally owned VC titles directly off of the SD, making it's own storage solution?

I'm still completely baffled as to how SDHC support was made possible.

If all it takes is code--not hardware--to give the Wii SDHC support, what's keeping Nintendo from official support of this hardware?

SDHC support? Is that new or did it already have that, because that is pretty damn cool.

If I already have the HBC installed, do I want to update? If so, how do I do that? (sorry -- not a master hacker)

I haven't installed the Homebrew Channel. I want to. but I'm not sure what I'd do with it. How do I use it?

Ah yes, this is cool. I love watching these battles unfold.

The main reason why ninety don't like like us to have a large capacity sdhc card is the reason why they took on the NDS r4 rom loaders which are based on large capacity sdhc card's. They don't want to allow any piracy of there games, which is stupid, there will always be piracy, when there's a will, there's a way. If the ps2, which was rampant with game piracy [if you didn't own a backup copy of any of the ps2 games, I think you either didn't owned a ps2, hated the ps2, or just couldn't or didn't have the know how to do it] had been like the gamcube and made there dvd's burn in reverse and half the size of the typical dvd, there would of been way less hardware sold. Because when it comes down to it, it's not the cost of the console hardware that ultimately affects your to buy or not decision, it's the cost of each game on the console. Also remember that the gamecube had better graphics then the ps2, yet it sold more. Why you ask, since I owned a gamecube and mulitple versions of the ps2, I'll tell you why; one, there were pc emulators for the ps2 early on in it's life cycle; two, you could easily copy a ps2 game disc; three, there was software to play the copies of game discs on the ps2; four, it was so easy to get backup copies of ps2 games, and five, the gamecube was saddled with the same proven stupid idea as the n64, the anti-piracy cartridge idea but in a new anti-piracy cd based form, by that I mean the pain in the ass size of the gamecube disc's, which I might add didn't hold the total capacity as the ps2's normal dvd's.

LOL, good "holier then thou" attitude bug frawg, I guess you're living in a fantasy world where people don't do bad things just because they can. I know that all ps2 owners do, even though they may claim they don't, which isn't anything new, people have claimed since they beginning of history to not do things that are against the law, immoral or things that are considered by other people to be bad, but guess what people still do anyways. Have you wondered why there is the old saying, "Do as I say and Not as I do"? People when confronted by others for their actions or behavior, will of course say that they didn't mean to or didn't know any better. And of course if you hadn't seen the whole Caltholic Church Molestation scandal or the Larry Craig.
Senior Republican Senator from Idaho, who had been arrested for homosexual lewd conduct in the men's bathroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on June 11, 2007, then of course all those ps2 owners would never, ever pirate any game that they could easily pay 50 bucks a pop for, just so that they can do the right thing. Bug frawg, do you buy for pre-owned games? All over the world, over and over again, people buy pre-owned games all the time at drastically lowed prices, like at gamestop. The of course profits never reach the original makers of the games, yet I don't see them saying to themselves, "awh, the pre-owned games that I buy from gamestop aren't going to help out the people who make the games, and the pre-owned games I buy will only go to help gamestop bottom line, so I should just buy the new full priced game, instead of the pre-owned games that are so much cheaper and still as good, yes I'm going to buy the new game, that came out xx amount of time ago, because I care enough for the game makers to pay full price for a game that came out xx amount of time ago, because I'm a good person and with the bad economy those game makers need more help more then ever."? Ignorance is bliss I hear.

Honestly the whole Homebrew channel delights me. Being able to play imported games has opened up a big arena of games I'm looking to purchase from Nintendo (Captain Rainbow and Tatsunoko vs Capcom both spring to mind) and should they ever up the capability so it can handle GCN region free as well, then there's quite a few more in the pile...

It also feels so nice to play McKids on a Nintendo console again... You found a card to Birdie's Treehouse!!! *Interracial high-five of AWESOME*

If SDHC now works, does that mean I can buy a 32GB SD card from Newegg and use it?

Crazylink, I think so, but you will need to install the homebrew channel 1st, using an ordinary sd card, and then you can use the new sdhc suport once you have installed the homebrew channel.

read the all the posts, but marcan's posts will answer the sdhc support question, since hackmii is her/his site.

On a separate note, the day when u can run linux [this includes the mac versions] or windows might be closier now with Bootmii.

Also, if you happen to brick your Wii, the savemii dongle may save you some hefty repair bills or a new wii purchase.

"SaveMii is a small dongle that is plugged into a Wii's Gamecube memory card slot. It mimicks a test interface that is believed to be used in Nintendo's own facilities (dubbed “Waikiki” by Nintendo)." Quote taken from:

so, how do i update my current homebrew channel? i dont know if i still have the twilight hack, but i have the hbc. i already updated the shop channel (didnt read the fine print, too early in the morning and nothing was known at the time), so none of my hbc apps work, so i find no harm in updating the hbc. so, how can i do it?

Will this update allow us to install the programs that let us play DVD's on Wii, or does that need to be updated as well?

a quick question, is there a chance that if i have installed the homebrew channel or the gekko OS,or the DVD app, a nintendo update could brick my system?

Will everything you do to install beta 8 be the same as what you do to download beta 9?
