Numerous reports are coming in suggesting Wii System Update 4.2 is bricking consoles.
The recently released Wii System Update 4.2 has apparently caused non-homebrew consoles to cease working. The update apparently has a erroneous boot2 code that’s presumably causing write errors. Nintendo of America have stated that if you have an unmodified Wii which has ceased working after the upgrade they will replace it.
I downloaded this update this morning and am relieved that at LEAST they’ll replace it. But so far I’ve had no problems with my console.
Oh my goodness, thank God I didn’t give the tweet about the update much attention and forgot about it! Would’ve been a BIG hassle for me if it did die on me.
Oh man. I don’t want THAT to happen! That would REALLY SUCK!
It seems to be only happening to a small portion of consoles. I updated mine and it is working fine.
same here
See, now I’m afraid to update mine, lol. But I think I’ll be good though.
whoa, I’m glad mine’s still working!
Oh, thank god I procrastinated and didn’t download it.
Oh crap. I downloaded it yesterday, I hope it doesn’t break.
if this actually happened to me Id be SO disappointed i think id hate nintendo forever
Hasn’t happened to me either but I haven’t really used it much recently (damn college)
