Wii Shop Channel Down?

ZOLTAN28

Been trying to connect for about 10 minutes - anyone else got this problem?

Is this to do with the firmware update?

Never mind - seems back to normal now.

Something to be aware of if like me you started with a LAN adaptor and then moved to wireless - the firmware update resets your Wii to connection 1 for the internet so you will need to change this to your wireless connection in Wii settings if you want to get back online.

Yup Freeloader no longer works with the new update.

From Eurogamer:

Nintendo has remained quiet about whether it will fix compatibility problems with third-party software Freeloader, after yesterday's Wii firmware update rendered it unusable.

It reiterated to Eurogamer that because it isn't an official product approved by Nintendo, there was nothing it could do.

The Datel disc was originally manufactured for the GameCube, and allowed people to import titles from Japan or the US and play them on their PAL console. And up until now it had the same effect on backwards-compatible GC games played on Wii.

Let's hope then that foreign releases will take less time to appear in Europe in future.

Aye, I'm bloody glad that I hung onto my cube.
Shame on you Ninty, shame on you!

Then again, my action replay disc didn't work with my Wii, so it's not really that much skin off my back...

dident try it after the update but i never bought a free loader and was still able to play imported games what you do is

1,put in an eu disc
2, wait till the start button comes up.
3,hover the remote over the start button an eject the disc but press sart about 2-3 seconds after the disc comes out and quickly put in your ntsc/japanese game

but you have to do this before the disc slot lights up and it fools you wii into playing imopred gc games but it takes timing and do it at your own risk because it can mess up the disc drive
