Has anyone tried using ModMii's abstinence wizard on this? Running NEEK on a Wii U through Casper and then getting AHBPROT from a forwarder channel might just work. From there, access to the rest might not be that hard.

Also, can't DOP-Mii patch IOS36 without having to have AHBPROT or an already patched IOS?
(Just a thought)

Although this might belong better in the hacking theories thready ... :ph34r:
Casper uses the same IOS exploit as Revolution, not sure if either has been tested, but if one works, the other should also.

As for DOP-Mii, I think that was using the same method as "Trucha Bug Restorer", which was patched a while back. (in the IOS that came with 4.2 maybe? then people installed Korean IOS which still had the bug, so Nintendo started including them in updates for all Wiis, with the bug fixed). Currently, I believe the only way to install any patched IOS with DOP-Mii is HW_AHBPROT or an already patched IOS.

Not sure, but I suspect Hackmii Installer just spits out the "no vulnerable IOS" message. The IOSes on a vWii all have fixed exploits and newer version numbers...

(I don't have a Wii U, so can't test.)
No they don't. I know that much. The IOS's are the same as those that come on the new Wii models.

Take a look below at the title list (the second column is version number).

The version numbers of the vWii titles have the second character from the left incremented by one compared to the Wii versions. For instance: IOS31 has version 0x0e18 (v3608) on wii, version 0x0f18 (v3864) on vWii.

What on earth is a vWii?

I gave the new IOS's to several developers, and I imagine marcan has them too.

I been told the wifi signal used for the gamepad is poorly secured. Can anyone confirm this? I been told by the same person (who wants to remain private for now) that he is working on a gamepad emulator. Basically so anyone will be better off buying an archos gamepad, a jxd s7300 or jxd s5600 then paying for a replacement wii-u gamepad. Keep in mind the rumored price for a new wii-u gamepad is between 99.95-124.99 USD.

I installed the VC wad to Wii and to transfer to Wii U.
NOTE: I don't have a Wii U. I plan on getting one.

Have you even read the other post? Non-official wads do not get transferred over to the Wii-U. And the VC isn't even out on the Wii-U, neither a new version or old.

The transfer app doesn't actually TRANSFER anything other than save files. The VC stuff it just notes the shop channel account in the SD card so the Wii U can download them directly itself.

Unfortunately, you can't get any unauthorized stuff through with the transfer utility.
