I currently have 5.3.2, I want to update my Smash4 and play online, is it possible to do without a system update?

Not at the moment, but theoretically may be possible.

Has anyone (with the kernel exploit, if required) tried patching the function nn::nim::NeedsNetworkUpdate((bool *))? Would patching this (perhaps like the patch we have for accessing the eShop on the 3DS when not on the newest version) allow access to the eShop/update installs?

So if I erase my internet settings (clear them) will my Wii U NOT update?
What I did is just create empty internet settings. Just add an additional #number# or letter at the end of the ID and it should not be able to connect, and for the other spots available just do a manual setup and enter test as ID and save, there really shouldnt be a problem. It's how I have mine set up.

And it's worked for you so far? How long have you had it like that?:)

Super. Thanks!
Yeah, as long as all of the internet setups have the wrong information it should not be able to connect. Just in case make sure that you have the (forgot the name) sleep mode enabled or that menu that allows you to receive notifications turned on just in case. and if possible when not in use unplug the power cord, you can never be too careful :D

Homebrew means offline forever? Do you have any sing that the version can be spoofed? Or update the proper system file , the iosU to play online? Does it seem like it will work like the Wii?

    @DTApple, gonna download the gdevelop app cuz sometimes i don't have the chance to use my pc

    And I also got an idea for another game

    @Xdqwerty, Its funny because crypto cannot be recovered, just another one of those Nigerian scams that ask you for a Google Play giftcard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBs0AG_MN3g

    @SylverReZ, why are most scams from mid-east countries?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I've reported the domain directly to their registrar so that they can take action. ;)

    @Xdqwerty, To be fair, I have no idea.

    Likely because they are not as economic compared to us.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, so their only way of getting money is thru scams?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Exactly.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why not they just mine Monero instead of scamming vulnerable people? If they have a decent machine they can hit a jackpot at any given time.

    Bitcoin on the other hand, requires a very powerful mining rig and is more costly.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, different cultures so probably they have their reasons
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yes a $2,000 rig for $5 a day

    @Xdqwerty, Or could be in correlation to laws.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
