As for the Freeloader, Ninty have released a statement saying that cause it's not an officially licenced product they have no intention of supporting it.
Whether they've actively broked it, or whether it's just a side effect of whatever they've changed isn't known.

They probably broke it deliberately. I can't see it being an accident.
I doubt they've gone and said 'lets put in this bit of code that says "if its freeloader, don't boot" ' though. It's probably more likely they've closed whatever loophole that disc was using to boot without the digital signature. So it closes off anything that was using that to boot, not just the freeloader.

Yes. But the only reason they'll have closed the loophole is to stop apps like Freeloader letting people bypass region coding. Why they feel the need to bother is beyond me if it's only to do with GC games. My guess is that they checked and found a loophole that would have let Datel do the same for Wii games.

Ah Christ! Can anyone actually confirm that at all? I just bought a brand new US copy of 'PM: Thousand Year Door' last week, and I won't even bother taking it out of the shrink wrap if that's really the case.
i dont have a freeloader but the update has broken my datel 'sd media launcher' which i use to play emulators...only got it last week too. *sigh* no more super fantasy zone for me then.
anybody know if there's a way to roll back the system update?
Fucksticks! Oh well, no update for me then ...and no more money from me spent on Wii points for them; bad day all round then.
I feel your pain, I've got a lot of UK Gamecube games for my US Wii which now might as well go in the bin. Bastards. The only mild upside is that on the used market most of them are shit cheap.

I've got some US cube games mainly 1st party prog scan games, that I'll happily swap for UK equivalents if they're near mint.

Might be worth a shot, thanks. By all means PM me. I think most of my stuff is decent condition.

I have tried that and it connects fine, but I still can't connect to the Shopping, Weather or News channels. I'm really hosed here.

Check your wireless settings - the system update apparently defaults the network settings back to “Connection 1″ which may not be the connection you were using?

I have a wired connection through a LAN-adapter and it worked perfectly before the update. I have restarted countless times, gone over every connection detail, checked the connection (it connects just fine in the test), but no luck. I can't connect to anything Internet-related (Shopping, News, etc), except the Voting channel, which bizarrely still works.
By all means PM me. I think most of my stuff is decent condition.
