Newest System Menu 3.4 Wii Update Kills Homebrew Again [Wii Homebrew]
Gizmodo — Hey, Nintendo—what's going on here? After a good year or so looking the other way on Wii homebrew (for the most part), now we've got two fairly serious brew-killing updates in the last month? Word from the folks at Wiibrew.org is that the latest update, System Menu 3.4, is apparently a doozy when it comes to ruining the homebrew party.

Nintendo updates Wii firmware to 3.4
Tech Ticker — ... the homebrew channel. As Wiibrew points out, Nintendo has closed the Twilight Hack which means new users interested in homebrew won’t be able to install it.
