add to PATH
C:\devkitPro\devkitPPC\bin
and
C:\Python27
one way to add folders to path is under System Propteries>Advanced>Enviroment Variables>System Variables>PATH
I'm sure you can do it under cygwin too.....there was a post previously describing that. Restart cygwin after modding path.
Thats just the way I managed it. Cygwin appears to import Windows Path on startup.
Type $PATH$ in cygwin to check if they made it.

I need to learn a bit more python beyond the web scripting I know.
But what is wrong with my two calls. at least its newb dev talk.

rpc.read32(10000000,16)
and
symbol("os.rpl","GetCoreCount")

GetCoreCount = symbol(os.rpl,GetCoreCount)

GetCoreCount()
(I know i'm doing this one wrong, that might not even be an rpl. os.rpl def isn't one.)

rpc.exit() works wonderfully.

Thanks I will try that. This has been driving me bonkers for days now.

keine, are you 4.00 or 4.10? Did you have to do anything else to get the rpc working properly? I'm showing "Connected by"(albeit on a port other than 12345), but it's not accepting any of my commands. Any thoughts?

I opened rpc.py with IDLE. Then I went run module. I waited for the connection and got the prompt.

>>rpc.exit()

that kicked me back to the main menu. Beyond that, IDK.
Thats the only command I've gotten to work.

 

[TeamScriptKiddies]

TeamScriptKiddies, you need to modify your build.sh inside the build folder to point at your devkitPro/devkitPPC/bin folder or add it as a PATH variable.

Okay upon opening the shellscript in Notepad the only two paths i'm seeing are "export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Python32" for python and the export for the htdocs folder " export HTDOCS=../ else". To add the path for devkit, can i just copy that first code and obviously change the path its pointing to. If so where exactly should I insert the modified code?

 

[arbiter34]

Follow keine's instructions and simply add it to your System PATH variable and do a system restart.

aaawwwww but where's the fun in that XD

Try in cygwin at prompt
"echo $PATH" (no quotes) then
"export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Pythondirectorylocation:/cygdrive/c/devkitPro/devkitPPC/bindirectorylocation" etc (keep tacking on a colon ":" if you add a directory) when you have included everything and believe it is correct test it. Make changes. Test it again.
oh and "echo $PATH" again once when it is working then copy and paste into text document and save(that way you can go back to it if it fails later because of a windows error. Once it is compiling correctly for you then modify your windows env variables with the correct paths.

Also if you guys are struggling on windows why not install a virtual machine app like virtualbox or vmware player. You can install many different OS's on many different OS's and can take snapshots and shared folders.

It looks like this did the trick! I'm going to try and compile it now! Its showing the correct paths when it echo it now

EDIT: no dice!!!! ><

Also I've already tried using a virtual machine

Its getting late, I'm calling it quits for the night. I'll take another stab at it next chance I get. Its gotta be something I'm doing wrong, because it won't even run the shellscript natively in linux and everybody seems to have it up and running. So frustrating.

Edits Continue! Just a thought, couldn't I bypass this shellscript altogether if I import the source code into a compatible IDE and compile it that way (with the hello.c, or whatever other script I want to run, as well as all the other necessary files)

I still can't get the exploit to compile properly so that I can set up a mirror for it. I have Win 7 Home Premium on this machine. Cygwin is installed, as well as devkitpro, and python 3.4.1. I initially tried to run it with everything in their default folders (except the exploit itself) to no avail. I then tried dragging the installation folders for devkitpro, python and Cygwin all into the root folder of the exploit itself, still no change. I also tried dragging everything out of each of its own installation folders and dumping them right into the root folder of the exploit and still no matter what I do, I get stuck at this same exact screen. Never changes, same error every time , never fails. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

It seems to just be an issue with files being out of place, the build shellscript can't find everything it needs to compile this....

The error indicates that your Python folder hasn't been added to PATH. Add it there.

EDIT: Beaten to it, didn't see the other posts.

You can add the path to devKitPPC bin folder and Python to build.sh, by default it's like:

    export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Python32

For Python 3.4 and devkitPro/devkitPPC at drive C: it probably will be:

    export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Python34:/cygdrive/c/devkitPro/devkitPPC/bin

Just to make sure, please use editor other than Windows Notepad (which doesn't support UNIX line endings) for shell scripts.

add to PATH
C:\devkitPro\devkitPPC\bin
and
C:\Python27
But what is wrong with my two calls. at least its newb dev talk.

rpc.read32(10000000,16)
and
symbol("os.rpl","GetCoreCount")
GetCoreCount = symbol(os.rpl,GetCoreCount)

Should be:

rpc.read32(0x10000000,16)

Decimal 10000000 address is probably undefined. I did a memory dump for 0x01000000-0x03800000 and 0x0d800000-0x277a0000.
and:

symbol("coreinit.rpl", "OSGetCoreCount")
OSGetCoreCount()

symbol() modifies globals, which probably is a bit hacky, but saves a lot of typing when testing interactively.

I have updated to the newest Wii U Update somed ays before. Will the Exploit still work?

Stop asking stupid questions in this thread please

Hey, could someone compile the hello world example and give me the html file? I sadly only have access to my Lumia and Surface for the next two weeks :/
Thanks,

I've had this up for a while now and nobody seemed to notice.

Okay thanks, I will give this a shot when I have a chance.

Any advice on finding rpl names and which functions belong to which rpls?
Its not obvious to me yet.
It appears acquire isn't used normally, but rather the rpls are linked in at build time and those functions are then just available.
For example, where did the IOS.c mount functions come from? I also haven't found any mention of nsysnet anywhere.

Is there any way to dump all rpl names and functions contained therin?

Also, why don't we have file access. Isn't file access part of userland? Say, take a picture of the screen and save to sd card.

Has anyone had any luck with fs.py or ios.c?
