Wii Info Latest Firmware Release 09/08/2007
Nintendo released Firmware 3.0 today, on the update some people have been
getting a messege saying that the update will render all moddified wii's
useless. the rumour is that this is not true. Wiikey are claiming the upgrade
will not affect their chip but it will stop their confirguration disc and
gamecube games working. I would recomend not to do an update until more
information is known. please find below a couple of snipits of info i
found.

August 8, 2007 ? the bad.
Nintendo has sent a message to all Wii
owners warning ?If your Wii console has an unauthorized technical modification,
this upgrade could cause inoperability of your console.? News of this firmware
update is still fresh, and we?ve yet to test this, or hear any comments on which
mod chips are affected or if they all remain unaffected. Update with
caution! the good? There is now a digital clock placed on the main menu reminding
players that time flies when they?re inevitably having fun. Another change to
the Wii menu will be found on the forecast channel. Now the forecast channel
will display the current weather in the channel selection interface. The message
board now has a new ?Today?s Accomplishments? option to display games you?ve
played. The Wii Shop channel has had a
considerate makeover. The welcome screen has been redone, showing four
recommended titles. There is now a list of popular titles, and new options to
search for games by name, genre, and publisher. Finally, USB keyboards can now be used to type as opposed to
pointing in some channels. The Wii Shop Channel, and memo and mail writing can
now utilize USB keyboard support. Unfortunately, the USB keyboard is not
compatible with the Opera browser as of yet?but it could be safe to assume this
trend will eventually follow onto web browsing.

[07.08.08] Wii firmware 3.0
issues
Nintendo has released firmware
3.0 via online updates. It will NOT brick or disable Wiikey; however, base and
config discs will not load 'natively', neither will any other GC disc with El
Torito standard header format. WiiNewz have reported that there are already tools available for building
bootable config and setup discs, as well as other discs with applications and
emulators. We are currently researching why the El Torito format no longer
works. Once this is completed new versions of the config and base system disc
will be made available.
