People go apeshit about the smallest things as usual.

The vWii ancast key is useless all the things it can decrypt you already could decrypt by loading them into memory and letting the PPC decrypt them for you and then just dump the memory.

The Wii U ancast key is useless until you also have the Wii U common key BUT even then all you could do is decrypt stuff it doesn't magically give you any exploits, though it will certainly make it easier to find them since you can look at the code that is running.

While this is certainly a great achievement from a hacking point of view this doesn't mean much for the common user.

So no piracy or homebrew will happen due this anytime soon.

Also from what've seen so far a Homebrew only hack might actually happen this time.


Would a Homebrew only hack allow for running game mods, like, say, Project M?

Game mods would probably be impossible because of encryption

I thought the "disc keys" were used for the encryption? even so once the wiiu is cracked you will be able to run a decrypted copy of your game and apply patches to your harts desire.

Actually, it may be possible, if you can get the Wii U to run unencrypted code (There's a unencrypted code loader in vWii, not sure if there is one in Wii U mode)

It's not IMPOSSIBLE, since we can decrypt games, why can't we encrypt it? the REAL problem is "HOW TO LOAD THE GAME IN THE Wii U??"

I think we need a RiivolutionU soon

It should be possible since it was shown modding MK8,its just a riivolution U if there is anything close to it.

  • 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.

    @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".

    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
