Nintendo has released firmware version 3.1U, which, among other things, adds support for use of USB keyboards.
Full list of changes:
● USB keyboard compatibility
● Links you receive on the Wii Message Board can now be opened in Internet Channel
● You can now send web-links to friends for them to view
● You can now copy text from the page you’re viewing and paste it into a search engine
Be advised that updating your firmware with any mod chips installed may brick your system.
Can you use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the wii?
no
beside internet, how can i install this fw, my internet doesnt work on wii i dunno why, router works but the wii doesnt. im thinking it was a bad firmware cuz after the firmware update, it stopped. also anyone noe if it bricks modded wiis.
Read please read!!! I think you just brick your wii!!!
“Be advised that updating your firmware with any mod chips installed may brick your system.”
i couldn’t have bricked it. i installed the chip after it stop working. beside, the internet works now after i configured the router(needed to turn off stp security or something) n added my mac address.com
if u have a pass on ur wireless it won’t work on the wii
the maximum number of savable “Favourites” has climbed from 48 to 56.
well i didnt brick mine and i have a modchip
what chip do you have. im on wiikey just want to know if its safe
my wiip still works im on 3.1pal.
Can any one confirm that it does/dosent brick the wii with a wiikey installed
does it also stop the hopefuly soon 2 come out homebrew apps/cfw?
i can confirm it dosent brick wiikey
i just updated to 3.1u firmware and my 1.3 setup disk is dead !!! anyone opinion ???
You need a gcos boot disc. Search for a boot disc for gcos on your download/torrent site.
Thanks James will update now i know it wont kill the wii
i updated my wii with a wiikey…its working smooth…dont worry wiikey guys
Any cyclowiz guys can confirm non bricking like the wiikey guys. They should both work after 3.1 but i’d love to hear good news from a cyclowiz updater too.
Finally, an update. You morons.
why trackback?
Can someone ban and delete the spammer who keeps tracking back? It’s really annoying.
Can someone plz tell me how to update my jap wii…im on 3.0j…..thnx in advance
someone DDoS these bastards…
Nobody gives a shit here about Viagra and Ambien. Go Fuck Yourself…
Seriously, devs get rid of this bullshit. I’m really starting to hate coming here…
As far as I know, there’s nothing we can do except DDoS them or file a lawsuit.
Something should be done. It’s just so annoying. I come here everyday and all I’ve seen for like a month now is just some more Trackbacks…Nothing to do with Wii at all. And why aren’t people doing anything with the Wii? I mean besides playing games, have you run out of ideas? I still want to port the Dreamcast games to the Wii…Is it possible? Or would it involve a different chip than what is out there? Can’t someone make a bootdisc or a DC OS for Wii? There’s an idea…Seriously, something needs to happen with the Wii…
Well, I know LiquidIce has been working mainly on his iPhone and iTv. As far as others go, I have no idea.
I’m as frustrated as you, but there’s really not much progress to be made until someone finds a way to manipulate the firmware like on PSP. Right now, the most that can be done is create more software that simply communicates with the firmware rather than the hardware itself.
I have another idea. I think if I could get my pc to read the wii through usb, I could check the hidden files and folders…Hmm…But no drivers…
Noobwii, would you mind giving me your email address? Maybe you and I could hack and help each other out. You seem to have some good ideas, and I bet if we worked together, we could make some breakthroughs.

does ne1 know if the keyboard has to be a specific keyboard i just upgrade w/ wii key inside wii is running 100% but can’t seem to get my usb keyboard to work for the internet channel
wow! so many trackbacks! wtf is a trackback? no body is ghoing to make a cfw for the dvd drive using wii, a custom windows or other custom pc program would make more sense
I’m not trying to write to the drive…Duh…And what are you suggesting? Wii emu in windows? I want to read the Wii’s firmware in windows, and I can take it from there…
OMG! SERIOUSLY WTF! SOMEONE NEEDS TO BAN THE IP OF THE GUY SPAMMING! ITS SO DAMN ANNOYING THAT I’M USING CAPS!

I’m sure all guys who write comments are teens or even younger. If you are older, than shame on you!
Blah-blah-blah. I don’t care about you opinion, your words mean nothing to me. I’m big, bad and always just.
