Segatron Genesis... call me the wizard.
I just got a message.

"This update provides behind-the-scenes fixes that will not affect features but will improve the overall performance."

""Because unauthorized modifications to save data or program files may impair game play or the Wii console, updating to Wii Menu version 4.2 will check for and automatically remove such a save data or program files."

Phew, Nintendo wants to crack down on this badly.

The Nintendo support forums and our tips email alike are packed with reports that Wii system update 4.2 is doing horrible things to Wii consoles, and not just the modded ones.

A quick scan of the Nintendo tech support forum tells the tale of a system update gone slightly awry. The update is freezing halfway through. The update is giving system errors informing customers that their Wii has been modified and then failing to start. There are even reports of random disk read errors following the update. While some of the problems can be attributed to modified systems, customers are reporting issues with units right out of the box.

Kotakuite Crazy Weavile submitted a possible explanation for the problems on the Nintendo forums, suggesting that the latest update irresponsibly updated the system's bootloader, only to find himself banned shortly thereafter.

While no help is on the horizon for modded console owners, Nintendo tech Jane posted a message in the forums yesterday instructing owners of unmodded Wiis to send their units in for a free repair.
