Nintendo's Response
On June 16, 2008, Nintendo released Wii Menu update 3.3 which automatically deletes and prevents the further storage of the unauthorized save files. However, within six hours of the update's release, community members found two bugs in the update that in conjunction can allow a slightly modified Twilight Hack to operate and have released a new version of the hack that will work on machines that have updated to 3.3. A release for 3.4 firmware was later released for the general public to be able to run the Twilight Hack, even though each time the Wii boots it will delete the 'hacked' savefile from the system memory. However, this doesn't prevent users from copying the file from the SD card to the system memory back each time the Wii is turned on and running the exploit without restarting the system first.
System Menu 4.0 blocks any current version of the hack from being copied. Similar Smash Stack exploits exist in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: Wheelie Breakers that continue to work with all System Menu versions from 3.0 to 4.3, current as of December 13, 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word response:
“The truth is that literature, particularly fiction, is not the pure medium we sometimes assume it to be. Response to it is affected by things other than its own intrinsic quality; by a curiosity or lack of it about the people it deals with, their outlook, their way of life.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
