Hacking Can anyone give some reasons why thier is no homebrew development

[wolf-snake]

you mean interface language? wasn't this implemented a very long time ago?

It was a joke, i really meant the DLC support.

The OP has asked a perfectly legitimate question - it is strange that the Wii U scene is so quiet when the equally-dead Vita scene has taken off like a rocket. It's not being 'ungrateful' to ask the question.

I assumed it was down to insufficient tools for developers and difficulty utilising the hardware. There isn't even a Retroarch port, and that has been ported to toasters. Clearly something is amiss.

It was just a fad like Pokemon Go. People already lost interest in the Vita.
The Wii U still has a bit of hope but the Vita is definitely dead.

The tools are there, especially with the new WUT format supposedly taking off in preparation for IOSU

Are you kidding? The Vita scene is peaking. PS1 emulation achieved through PCSX, native ePSP support in the works thanks to TheFlow and MrColdbird, constant updates to MaiDumpTools increasing the amount of dumpable games, the English translation of Phantasy Star Nova, TheFlow releasing Settings+ - all happening this week.

this thread

well, if you're all so obsessed with progress, I suppose I'll help you out. How about a webpage you can look at to keep up with progress on my pet project, a NES emulator? I wasn't mentioning it because it's so far off even being remotely ready (the page calculates the project as 0.4% complete) and I'm trying to learn from past mistakes (where I've been unable to complete a project) but y'know, we all need progress! Anyway, here's a link to that. I might even update it every now and again.

P.S. I'm unwatching this thread so I only end up reading this depressing stuff when I want to rather than when I get notifications. If you're NOT just going to complain about piracy feel free to tag or quote me, otherwise I probably won't see it.

Cause all anyone really ever wanted was piracy.

I dunno. Paper Mario works fine. It's an awful game but works fine.


As far as I can see all that was added was that half-assed DLC support and compatibility with 3rd party controllers.
All the other patches are minor fixes mostly regarding stuff they broke with the new changes.

The bastards.

But, seriously. I still don't get the point you are trying to make. Even if they did 'half-ass' the last few updates, nobody is holding them up at gunpoint to continue making the updates they do. Yet, will still get them. I simply cannot see any reason to be negative on this subject tbh.

My point is pretty obvious. Loadiine is the best Wii u Homebrew and there's no more real progress to be done in it.
From now on we'll only see relevant news when IOSU gets released.
Also it's kind of amazing to find a new species of internet parasites in this thread: the homebrew justice warriors!

 

[raulpica]

we discussed it few times with the staff, and the one with power to do it ... always forgot I guess
@raulpica, could you add a WiiU homebrew section please ?

I think we will keep Loadiine in hacking, even if it IS a homebrew, as users are more easily going there for backup loaders.
it will leave all other non backup related homebrew on their own section, with devs who can share without all the backup loading questions threads.

With the help of the wikitemp, we can easily find all released homebrew thread (I already listed them all) to move them to the new section.
too bad nobody have time to work on the wiki and make pretty homebrew pages. currently it's only lists and links.

Created a new "Homebrew" section, while renaming the old "Hacking" to "Hacking & Backup Loaders". That should allow us to move the least number of threads possible. Is that okay?

 

[Deleted User]

its a shame that theres so little homebrew.
but i guess the main factor is its access to homebrew channel.

Webbrowser launching sux.
you need a proxy (if you are paranoid) + self host (paranoid again) + start browser + see it failing (sometimes)

i dont use homebrew on wii u at all anymore because it sux so hard to launch it...

its similar to the vita scene... with reju hack no interest ... with henkaku big interest... its just as easy as that.

More amazing that you'd create such a title purely for my benefit, I'm touched.
I'm not sure if I'm deserving of such a title though.

In all seriousness, if you are that bummed out your Mom only got you a Wii U and a copy of Smash for Christmas. Trade it in. I'm sure she won't notice. If you are concerned about getting grounded and don't want to do that, maybe realise the world doesn't revolve around you and that whilst being a whiny child may work with your Mom... nobody else will give a flying fuck about your definite and non-constructive statements. All I've seen from you in this thread is...

"VITA HOMEBREW IS DEAD" (lol, srsly? xD)
"I'M UPSET I CAN'T PIRATE DLC"
"I HAVEN'T REALLY DONE ANY RESEARCH BUT LOADIINE UPDATES ARE RUBBISH BECAUSE I HAD NO NEED FOR 3RD PARTY CONTROLLERS ETC"
"I PLAYED PAPER MARIO: COLOR SPLASH. DIDNT MEET MY STANDARDS"
"IOSU WILL MAKE ME WHOLE"

And to think all I was merely doing was trying to coerce you into being a bit more positive. Sitting around being annoyed at things whilst not doing anything about the things annoying you isn't very healthy imo.

HJWs... Sorry, I just can't take it seriously. How about "people who understand the concept of being nice to other people who are working for hugs and are actually reading all of these posts and wondering why they even bother?" (forgot about that, didn't you) :3

Well, that would be what I'm thinking if it wasn't for... (drumroll)

This is awesome. Great to see some action being taken! I'm happy to write up some fresh stickies if they're needed; updated stuff should avoid the whole "cant-find-anything" problem. The only issue I see is the inclusion of homebrew emulators (those running on the Wii U) in Emulation and CEMU; it's a bit of an odd split.
A quick solution would be to remove that "or emulators that run on the Wii U" bit from the Emulation and CEMU description and put the on-console emulators back in with the other on-console stuff. IMHO there's enough CEMU/Decaf threads to justify them having their own section in this way, the section's pretty much already dedicated to them anyway.

Even so, this is still an awesome change and I'm so happy to see it implemented. Maybe us devs will finally be able to collaborate again ;D

wow, at least I'm not rude!

until IOSU happens (god only knows when) then hombrew cant go any further due to no HDD access and complete control over the system, running the hack is easy if you know how but at the moment it is the only option, lets all hope we get a good christmas present in the way of iosu...

Not going to lie. Just spent the last 10 minutes trying to find out how I change my forum title from 'GBAtemp Regular' to 'Homebrew Justice Warrior'.

(Edit: Perfect, thank you!)

Based on your title, I presume you haven't figured it out yet? It's just below your avatar on this page.

I'm tossing up "Working For Hugs" tbh. F:
