Well the wii is now open for homebrew. What will nintendo do? Will they go and fight the hackers or will they endorse it, not officially, but just let it slide??

probably the best way for nintendo to get rid of this problem would be to offer these people jobs they couldn't refuse with strict "non-compete" clauses in their employment agreements.

The is cool but a pain in the rear to launch every single homebrew app that way. All Nintendo has to do to combat it is offer some type of external storage so we can download more games from the VC console. Plus the general public doesn't mess with stuff like this anyways.

according to Kotaku that is the purpose of the new update, 3.2. It says that there is almost no changes in the update, and it might be to stop the hack in Twilight Princess.

It's already been proven that the new update does not stop the hack and 'apparently' it is impossible to stop the hack as it exploits something in the code of twilight princess. They said that when the GTA Liberty City Stories hack came out for 2.5 PSPs but that eventually got fixed by Sony in firmware (they made rockstar patch the code in all future pressings of the game as soon as they found out but obviously the old copies were still exploitable). So it may be possible for Nintendo to patch the Wii.

BTW the update adds a little notification onto new discs saying that an update is available. (like for example the mandatory update on Super Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3). Other than that thats it really.
