When Nintendo took down the Shopping Channel for 3 hours earlier we knew something was up, it now seems that Nintendo updated the firmware on the Wii to include many small but nice features and even according to anecdotal evidence increase the speed of the UI. Also updated is the Wii Shopping Channel.

Firmware 3.0U/E

Channels:

-Digital Clock added to the Wii Menu right under the channel bar
-Forecast Channel now displays the current condition (cloudy, raining, etc.) directly in the Wii Menu in the Forecast Channel box
-News Channel can now show 2 scrolling headlines at a time in the Wii Menu, 3 when you click on the button
-Message Board now has the "Today's Accomplishments" message as a white message which allows it to stand out from other messages
-Address Book entries can now be shifted around using A+B (supposed to be a launch feature) but only to empty spaces.
-Calendar in Message Board no longer shows "Today's Accomplishment" only days as having messages.

Wii Shop Channel Overhauled:

-New Welcome screen detailing 4 Recommended Titles and the points they cost (gone is the title screen bar that had linkable games)
-Titles You've Downloaded was moved to the main shop menu
-New ways to browse
-Popular Titles (2 pages of 10 and includes launch games so not only based on recent info)
-Newest Additions remains the same
-Search for a title which can use partial names
-Search by Category
-System shows the different systems and how many titles have been released under each
-Publisher showing different publishers and amount of titles released (Nice logos!)
-Genre (different genres listed and amount of titles under each)

i still have not put a chip in my wii yet. but i was wondering if anyone has had any problems since the FW Update with there chips?

[sicknasty413]

throwingks has reported that he has gone through with the update.. and his Wii is still functioning.

I'm not sure if it's still booting originals and/or backups.. But I'd imagine it is.

I'm reading some people having trouble with wiifree after the update.  No more backups booting.  I cant personally confirm until later today.


I don't see the "-fans run in standby" am I blind?



*edit*

Well now some people with wiifree are saying they updated and everything seems fine.  I will test later today.

Is this true? whats the word on the wii update with wiifree installed?

Anybody try the update who has a Wiinja Deluxe? When I got home from work just now the blue LED on my wii was pulsing to alert me that Nintendo had sent me an email about the new update. I would hate to brick my system by performing the update. Anyone with info please post.

-update- Just checked the Wiinja forum. It sounds like the update will not effect those with Wiinja drive chips.

I finally updated last night.  No problems at all with my Wii or my Wiifree.

I did the update to 3.0u.  My Wiikey and Wii still work.  Boots originals and backups just fine.  From what I read on the maxconsole forums they blocked the Wiikey Setup and Action replay discs.  So I have to start GCOS before I can load my wiikey setup disk.  Slightly annoying,  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif), haven't tried AR yet.
