Free Non-Loader

From the number of news reports today it appears that the Wii Freeloader and Twilight Princess homebrew hack are dead thanks to new firmware update 3.3. Of course you can always opt not to download it although how long it'll be before a game forces it on you is anyones guess... and my guess is it'll be on the SSBB disc. I wonder where that leaves Datel and all the people who have purchased one already?

Check out the Gameov3r FORUM, in the words of Tony the Tiger it's grrrreat!

Will Freeloader Survive New Firmware?

Despite the initial bravado from Datel on their Wii Freeloaders recent release, it seems Codejunkies don't quite share the same confidence in the product remaining functional. Datel have been quoted as saying that future Wii firmware updates would not break the functionality of the Freeloader but the latest response from Codejunkies goes more like this:

Q. What if Nintendo release a firmware update which affects the usage of the Wii Freeloader ?

A. No guarantee can be given of compatibility with future firmware releases so if online updates are performed on your console this may prevent Freeloader from Functioning correctly

We recommend that you consider the benefits of any online upgrade against the possible loss of compatibility with Freeloader and its functions.

A bit of a wait and see what happens when the next firmware update arrives then.
