    Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

    Yo, we've all been busy with school and/or taking care of our health, basically. Wii U stuff understandably is on the waaaay backburner due to this. Public releases happening made it easy for us to take a break, which we were all relieved to get. In a few months/whenever I've got the time I may...

    Hacking [RELEASE] drxtool - gamepad+drh firmware hacking utility

    The gist of it from what I recall is OSv1 leaves the DRH enabled, and eWii IOS (eshop wii, our nickname) just knows how to communicate with DRH over USB to get inputs and forward them as normal Wii inputs. eWii hax and streaming from pc->gamepad are a bit outside of the scope of this thread...

    Hacking [RELEASE] drxtool - gamepad+drh firmware hacking utility

    Yep, modifications to allow stuff like region unlocking/changing and enabling the DK Menu (not that you need it on retail, but...) are possible now. I'd check out libdrc's RE docs for a crash course on firmware format and gamepad internals, since there's quite a lot going on. As an example, you...

    Hacking [RELEASE] drxtool - gamepad+drh firmware hacking utility

    Hey! I finally got around to rewriting this and making it more useful. Hopefully this will inspire and assist with some useful hacks and research. From the readme: drxtool enables extraction, modification, and rebuilding of drc (gamepad) and drh (host) firmware binaries, including actual...

    Yo, brick alert! If 5.6 does end up coming out soon, do NOT update your redNANDs to it on public cfws. If boot1 updates and you update on a public cfw, you'll incur a SEEPROM write and your sysNAND won't be able to boot at all any more, with likely very little recourse in terms of unbricking...

    Full disclosure: I'm still implementing MLC shrinking between doing other things, so at this exact moment it's 16GB for 8GB, and 64GB for 32GB. Those numbers will stay the same for users who don't wish to shrink their MLCs. After MLC shrinking is fully implemented (and it's getting there...

    What's public at the moment amounts to a few developer tools for power-users. We'll be shipping a full environment to support users and developers with a super rich feature set, extensive brick protection, and ease-of-use so anyone can get started with it. It's really not fair to compare them...

    Thanks! For future reference then, if non-SALT devs don't know this yet, 32GB is 0x3A20000 sectors and 8GB is 0xE50000 sectors. Anyways I'll drop by again once there's more progress to report on our end.

    Copy just iosu.elf to sd:/wiiu/apps/iosu/iosu.elf and launch through HBL. The rest of the files are me redistributing source as it's just a minor change to code that's not mine.

    Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

    Heyo, I'm implementing 8GB support and 32GB->8GB MLC shrinking finally. My issue is that neither myself nor anyone I know actually owns an 8GB Wii U, so I have to figure out the sector count those systems use. To that end I changed 1 line of code in that one OTP dumper to read that out and put...

    Protip regarding others' new IOSU stuff as it trickles out prior to our release: stay the heck away from sysnand! It's incredibly easy to brick a system without trying when messing with internal filesystems (ESPECIALLY if you're not sure what you're doing) and, particularly if you don't have...

    I'm talking about a separate early project here. We were at this point in around april of this year I think, so a serious amount of work beyond this has already been put in.

    That wait can actually be moved to the browser payload! Once I get a chance I might just look into integrating my stuff so I can PR it. BTW, the new public iosu kernel code exec doesn't really mean much regarding our release plans/timeframe. Everything will still drop when it's done. I wouldn't...

    Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

    It's indeed an entrypoint issue. It seems to stem from a misunderstanding of the exploit in use along with the execution environment it's being run in. I've actually had that code fixed up (largely rewritten) for some time since we used to launch thru HBL's loader, but I can't pull-request it...

    Oh boy, a callout post! Everything's coming along well. Userland UI is getting locked in and we're starting to implement those features. In the last few days I've personally done a heap of RE to unlock a bunch IOS-side resources for use in PPC homebrew, as well as mostly rewriting our entry code...

    Two things about dumped images, one: you must dump MLC and SLC as a pair, without even restarting your system. Some MLC sectors are cached on SLC since it's faster, and not having both dumped at the same time will give you an unusable dump essentially. Two: I think I've said this in the past but...

    The nature of this project ('these projects', really) doesn't really let us develop publicly. There would be an insane amount of userbase fragmentation between various versions, for one. For example, it's easy to have three people reformat/rearrange their redNANDs if the format needs to be...

    Public release is still being worked on! No ETA yet, nor has there ever been one. Silence has been from us being swamped with school starting/personal stuff. For what it's worth, the 'rich set of features' I described previously should make basically every existing system-level hax tool...
