Question for the Dev team. Is there any work that requires the skills of a web engineer with a couple decades of experience? I posted something about page caching the other day that seemed to help some people and would be more than happy to take a look at the HTML files and clean them up and optimize them or maybe put together an easier to use local server package using node.js and npm for package management and easy setup. I can imagine setting up WAMP/LAMP installs for individuals that are not part of engineering or devOps teams can be a little daunting. If you guys are interested shoot me a PM and let me know where I can be of assistance!

Any modification to the HTML is actually pretty likely to break stuff, given how unreliable the exploit is. In fact, that happened several times. However, helping people set up hosting environments would be useful.

Sounds good. Is there any documentation on the folder and file structure or the requirements for a server or are the HTML files in a public repository somewhere that I can view to get a feel for how to best lay everything out? My assumption is these are just static HTML files with no server side code running on the backend so the server architecture can be based on anything simple - is this correct? Thanks in advance.

For example, if I download the update for Splatoon and then I lock the DNS
quickly. Could I erase data from the system update that would have downloaded without end? It`s an idea , I dont´t know if I'll be talking nonsense.

Yes, everything is client side, so any hosting method should be fine. Even
Code:
python -m http.server
works.

you just can't because the game won't update if the console isn't updated, we can't do anything for now, i want to play splatoon online too.

Because telling people who can't work out how to use OpenDNS properly to purposely mess up their IOS' is a terrible idea.

Besides, there's always a slim chance that you might actually want to update in the future if another exploit is found and/or Wii U homebrew never takes off.

What is the status for people on 5.4.0? I had 5.3.2E until standby mode f***ed me hard and updated my WiiU for me. Is there any hope for the kernel exploit being ported to 5.4.0? Or is there absolutely no chance?

I would, but it's stuck on my other Wii U as an eShop download ;; poked at the files some, still pretty easy to mod

Please tell me they still use text files as configuration files. (They did on last two games)

I was able to change the gravity settings in Pikmin 2 thanks to the txt files.

Well so I opened up my Wii U browser yesterday, closed up all the tabs, cleaned the cookies, then opened up FIX94's host site for the homebrews, tried to load up Pong and another one I can't recall...

Same thing, it was either a froze up image or a black screen with white rectangles, nothing more.
I'm losing my nerve here, what am I doing wrong? XD
