Uno!

Homebrew developer kriogeN has just updated his great homebrew game "UNO" for the Wii to version 4. This update includes something we all can love, improved graphics! Seems like a fun game to me. UNO allows 2 to 4 players that can play against each other across the internet. This update also includes a couple more minor changes, which can be viewed in the readme. So now the directions, excuse me if my Spanish is a little rusty (as well as googles) but here it goes:
 
Quote:

Directions:
In the main menu indicates if it wants to act as a server for 2 to 4 players or want to become a customer, once selected you'll have to wait until all players are connected. As all are connected server distributed charts and start playing the first connected user (normally the player who acts as a server, but could be another if someone connected before this establish its own connection).

If you have more cards in your hand you can see (more than 7 letters) you can move hand with the left and right buttons.

To select a letter you put on top and press B (the letter selected will appear in the foreground as you move your hand), if you have no cards to make (or think you do not have) hit the button and draw a new 2 letter. Clicking the button home saldrás your turn the game, but other users are blocked (expects to receive from a socket that no longer exists)

If this is not your turn seem that the game has been hanged, but is not so.

Right now you are probably thinking, "aww… not another unofficial realease".  Lucky for you, this one is straight from CMW, naturally making this version the "official" release of the windows-based 2.0 jailbreak and unlock tool.  Check out the changelog and how-to below, and then get those iPods and iPhone cranking!

 

Quote:

Changelog:

- Support for both 1.1.4 and 2.0
- Custom Image Support
- Custom Payload Support
- 3g iPhone support

How To:

1) First create a custom IPSW using the IPSW Builder.
2) Click "Ipwner" and browse for the custom IPSW that you just created. This will pwn itunes and allow you to flash Custom IPSW files via DFU mode
3) Once you have pwned Itunes, put your phone into DFU mode.
4) Once you are in DFU mode Itunes will pop up and then you can hold shift and click restore and browse to your custom IPSW file.

It looks like the source for the 2.0 version of WinPwn (now called X-Pwn) is out in the wild.  X-Pwn is a Windows tool that unlocks an iPhone or iPod Touch running on Apple's latest firwmare.  With the source out, it shouldn't be long until an easy-to-use GUI comes around.

Hey guys,

The development sources for xpwn 0.3, the firmware 2.0 version of our cross-platform jailbreaking library/command-line utility have been pushed onto github. We’ve tested it on Linux, Windows XP, and Windows Vista for both the iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G thus far, but since it uses the same FirmwareBundles files as PwnageTool, and we know those work for the iPod touch, there ought not be any problems.

Being a suite of command-line utilities, this release is meant primarily for developers. While you can certainly jailbreak (both 3G and first-gen) and unlock (first-gen) with it, it’s not really something you want to try without reading the lengthy, detailed README. If you don’t have the patience to do that, this release is not for you.

We’re hoping the community will use this to create useful, easy-to-use jailbreak related applications for all platforms. This is an open source endeavor and you are more than welcome to fork it, fix our bugs, submit patches, etc. Now it’s time for you guys to step up to the plate.

This may be a bit of old news for some but it is quite notable.  Nintendo announced at E3 that they confirmed a new addon for the Wiimote called WiiMotionPlus.  They have also added that the sequel to Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, will use this addon for the first time.  The game is said to inclue jet skiing, sword fighting, and disc throwing. It will probably include more games by its release.  Will this be the next Wii Play bundled with the new accessory?  Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see.

It looks like a few leaked shots of supposed new PSP model have hit the internet. In addition to the images, it was also revealed that the new model is packing a built-in microphone, new "Home" button that better resembles the PS3, and even the potential for having phone support. That's all well and good, but what about those internal HDD rumblings we've been hearing? If you had revealed that, then maybe I could actually be excited about a potential product refresh. Is it just me, or do anonymous sources always seem to disappoint?

Hello everyone, here is a little review I did about my results after jailbreaking my iPod Touch with Pwnage Tool 2.0, just for you MacBrew Viewers and those occasional YouTube Viewers.  I used the Mac version of Pwnage Tool 2.0.1, but I should note that it is technically no longer Mac exclusive.  There is now a Jailbreak method for the Original iPhone via Windows found here. Although it isn't advised for any n00bs out there, it is an alternative for advanced users that don't own a Mac.

UPDATE: It looks like the iPhoneDevTeam has come out with a new version of their Pwnage Tool.  This release just has a few minor adjustments to make things easier on some users that had issues jailbreaking with the first version:

 

Quote:

- It auto-finds the bl39 and bl46 files better, if they’re on your computer.
- It creates the ~/Library/iTunes/Device Support/ folder if not present, which should help with some 1600 errors people have been having.
- Many people have reported the PwnageTool not starting up at all (the icon never stops bouncing). This issue should be resolved now.
- The Sparkle AppCast URL is fixed in this version, so automatic updates should work for future releases.

 

Check out the updated download link on the bottom of the page.

 



Pwnage Tool 2.0The folks over at iPhoneDevTeam have released their much awaited Pwnage Tool 2.0.  For those that dont already know, this brilliant piece of (mac only) software will let you unlock and/or jailbreak any iPhone or iPod Touch running Apple's latest firmware.

 

Quote:

We’ll be releasing a more official announcement soon, but we wanted to get the tool out there. We sincerely hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed making it Smile

Update: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.

Sony has been seriously considering the addition of hard drives to new PSPs. This idea has been going around for a fairly long time in the Sony managemnent. A quote from Jack Tretton, President and CEO of Sony Somputer Entertainment America pretty much confirms this.

"I think we definitely thought about it [Adding harddrives to PSPs], I think that's the trend moving forward."

Will this pose problems for homebrew? Will this give Sony any sort of sales boost? We'll just have to wait and see.

It looks like yet another security flaw has been found in Nintendo's Wii.  A Wii hacker by the name of bushing is reporting that he and his team has come across a major security flaw in the Wii that would allow for the playing of pirated games on an unmodified Wii Console.  Luckily for Nintendo, he intends to tell them of this issue so it can be properly patched before it gets public.  No response has been received yet, but I really hope for Nintendo's sake that they respond and don't take this issue lightly.  They're software attachment rate really can't afford to be any lower than it already is…

 

Quote:

Dear Nintendo, 

As part of our efforts to understand how the Wii works, we believe we
have found a security issue that could allow pirated Wii games to be
played on an unmodified Wii console.

I would like to speak to an engineer about this — please have one contact me at bushing (at) gmail.com.

Sincerely,
bushing

P.S. Sorry for posting this publicly — I tried emailing you three times
and never received a response. I am trying to follow the model set forth
in http://www.wiretrip.net/rfp/policy.html, so your timely response
would be appreciated.
