The Homebrew Channel, which broke when Nintendo upgraded on October 23, is working again and has improved memory card support and SDHC support built in. I haven’t been following the soft Wii hacks recently – my unit is chipped – but it’s nice to know the bad/good guys are one step ahead of Mario when it comes to firmware security.

You can download the firmware here and then install it according to these helpful instructions:

Instructions: Simply load one file, then the other. It does not matter in which order you load them. Use any method. If using tona’s build, simply run the single included DOL to install. You will need to create the meta.xml and icon.png files if you choose a build other than Matthew_8′s Homebrew Channel friendly package.
