Wii firmware upgrade 3.0e->4.2e

This evening I have upgraded my friends Wii firmware from version 3.0e to 4.2e. Before I upgraded the Wii firmware I first installed the Homebrew channel (1.0.6) and hidden DVDx channel with the Bannerbomb exploit. This hack is really easy. It took my only 5 minutes to complete all steps. After that I successful upgraded the Wii firmware to 4.2e and installed all (new) available Nintendo channels through the Wii shopping channel. This took about 45 minutes.

Conclusion: Installing the Homebrew and DVDx channel was never so easy. I hope lots of other Wii owners will upgrade there Wii and will explore the world of free Homebrew software. 😀

Source code documentation

Latest week I have added to all my Wii projects extra source code documentation based on javadoc notation style. With doxygen (Doxygen is a documentation system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, and lots of other programming languages) i have created HTML documentation. This documentation is added to the Google SVN repositories. I hope this will help you to understand the source code better.
