Welcome back, Twilight Hack

The very day that Nintendo released their anti-Twilight Hack update, clever programmer types found the new code and figured out how to beat it. Team Twiizers has made practical use of that information, releasing their own update of the Twilight Hack save file. If you were worried about having to go a whole week without homebrew, you can relax.While they were sprucing the code up with the Wii Menu 3.3 compatibility, Team Twiizers added a few other nice modifications, including better video configuration, region-specific save file icons, and Twilight Hack-specific "Still Alive" parody lyrics hidden inside the LOADER file. That's, uh, totally a feature!
Now get out there and brew some homes!
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

"clever programmer types found the new code" Bushing and co reversed the code, its not as simple as "finding" it.

And so the duel begins. Nintendo laid down the gauntlet, and the hackmii folks responded in kind
Even if the hackers rebuilt their software so that pure ROMs couldn't be run (which would alleviate the only legal grey areas to arise from this), Nintendo's the kinda company that would still fight them even if piracy wasn't an issue

Sad but true. I do so wish Nintendo and the true homebrew community could co-exist peacefully. Of course, you're unlikely to ever see the folks over at hackmii start fighting piracy by locking out those pure ROMs...

Pure ROMs? Wii games are absolutely enormous; how would you load them just like that? The only way to do so is through hardware modification and burned/copied discs. And again- modchips let you load imported games, which should have been a feature from the start.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was a test to make sure no false positives were made..*looks forward to next patchday and bricked Wiis*

I can't understand one thing. With this update 3.3 europe wii owners won't be able anymore play other region games even they got a modchiped wii?? and if yes this "welcome back" update will fix this issue?i mean the normal games not wiiware
