Since Wii Firmware update 3.3 blocked Freeloader, importers have felt uneasy. Datel, makers of the Freeloader disc, have come out with an official response:
"Please note, due to circumstances beyond our control Wii Freeloader is not compatible with latest version Wii firmware 3.3 and higher, just released (released as an online update 17/06/2008)".
"You can continue to use Wii Freeloader perfectly with any Wii console running firmware 3.2 and below. If you upgrade to Wii firmware 3.3 or higher this WILL disable the Freeloader function and it will stop working for all future use on all import games".
That being the official word, perhaps we can't expect a new 3.3-compatible Freeloader for a while.
For shame Nintendo, for shame.
