Freeloader's capabilities have been disabled by the new firmware update, though Datel believe they can work around it
The Wii's latest firmware update has managed to disgust a number of owners, specifically those who have purchased Datel's Freeloader device.
The contraption allows owners to play games from any region on any machine and has proved popular.
However, the new firmware update renders the device useless, thereby meaning lots of users will be deprived of the ability to play legitimately purchased games.
Digital Spy was told by a 'disgruntled gamer': "I have spent good money buying imported games to play on my Wii and this firmware update has now stopped me from playing any of them.
"I am furious with Nintendo for forcing me to stop playing games I have spent a lot of money on. Surely this is not the way they should be treating loyal followers of the Wii."
