It means we can run userland code. I doubt the hackmii installer will work until it is updated (but that shouldn't be any harder than any of the previous hackmii updates). Someone should try running FS Browser and sysCheck to see what they see. I would, but I'm currently installing the update (download is taking forever, I recommend skipping it if you haven't started it yet).

The Virtual Wii is pre-installed with 4.3?
It should be obvious that it's using the latest IOS/system menu, but I'm wondering if the settings are showing that version number or something specific to Wii mode on WiiU (Virtual 4.3U?).
Maybe they have a new system menu version installed by default?

Nice to see vWii and WiiUmpersonator already online :)

Edit:
it seems the version is the same, but installed in different folder (00000007 instead of 00000001), and not the same content/size.

edit2:
What are HCUx and HCVA channels? Hidden ones? new EULA?

Can someone make a video of Smash Stacks on WiiU and put it on, like, YouTube? I hope it's not a troll or something, Wii-Mode exploit day-one would be kinda nice.

Wondering the same thing. I'm dying to know what HCVA and HCUx are, but I'd bet one is the "Wii Menu Manual" and the other that orange "Wii System Transfer" channel seen on the vWii menu. (Picture)

As for IOS, versions looked to match their Wii versions, but stubs are missing from the list. I assume they're already installed.

If you want, you can download the titles with NUS Downloader. The encryption key is different though, so you can't unpack them yet or otherwise do anything meaningful. We're probably going to have to wait until either someone dumps them in decrypted form off a vWii, or until we know what the key is.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
