Nope. Next to nothing important is actually in memory that isn't protected (such as IOSU stuff with keys and tickets and NAND and eMMC), and most of the filesystem is protected even from kernel (AFAIK).

Will it still be posible to play vwii on gamepad? Would like to play emus with gamepad buttons :)

That's why it's so difficult to do anything, because we have no access yet :\

"yet" being the operative word here. :)

It's like a bunch of dominos stacked on their sides, one goes over (userland) the next ones goes (kernel) which topples the next one (IOSU). Once the final castle (heh) falls, it's done. You might get a bunch of numbers on your screen that you have to type into a hex editor to generate console-specific key file(s). But when that's done there should be no technical reason not to access external WiiU-formatted storage on PC/Linux.

I'd prefer to be able to do everything offline, so there's no way for an accidental update (e.g. somebody just wanting to play a game for a bit while you're gone and they brought their friend who has a Wii U and knows how to set it so you can play onlineeeeee and oh he never set the fast boot, here I'll do that for you and standby too! You're welcome!)

Is this where I jump in line to wait for either the exploit to be released or the green light to update to 5.4.0 so I can play Splatoon online again? :)

Good to see the devs still tinkering with things here.

I can't wait for the eventual release myself, but I caved a year ago and bought a second wiiu so I could have a fully updated unit for online and a back-up for this exploit. I've been playing splatoon with my son and enjoying it alot.

I'm attempting to recreate this in python. Not in order to create a python only exploit, but to see if something similar could be done in javascript.

    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

    @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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
