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:
“Play for young children is not recreation activity,... It is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity.... Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
