Nintendo Fixes Conduit Spawn Glitch With Update?
Nintendo 4.2 update keeps getting more and more interesting. First, it killed the Homebrew Channel (which lasted 24 hours), and now it seems it may have fixed the spawning problem that The Conduit was having.
Nintendo and High Voltage have stated they are working together to fix all the problems with online play. I’m glad to see Nintendo playing nice with third party developers and helping them out. Check out an example of the glitch at the link below.

Homebrew Channel Lives Again
Wow, that took a whole (checks watch) 24 hours. Nintendo’s recent attempts to take down the Homebrew Channel haven’t worked very well, and now the hackers are gloating a little:
As you all know, Nintendo pushed a huge update yesterday. Turns out it’s a rather lame attempt to block, among other things, our installer. They also remove The Homebrew Channel and DVDX on every system menu startup, but for that they just hardcoded the used title IDs. So let’s play this silly game: let’s switch title IDs!
I don’t know Nintendo, I think you’re wasting your time with this. Maybe you should spend more time making games like the next Star Fox.
