    Wii U Internal Storage Upgrades are possible

    Thanks to the amazing work of @SDIO, @shinyquagsire23, @GaryOderNichts, and others, we've now proven that it's possible to upgrade the internal storage on the Wii U. I'm not talking about soldering to the USB ports, this is honest-to-goodness System Memory of sizes other than 8/32GB. No, it is...

    Homebrew Going forward with 5.5.2 - What You Need to Know

    Hey all! It's been a little while since 5.5.2 came out now, and while everything's settled down from my point of view I'm still seeing a lot of misinformation flying around. I figured I'd try to clear the air a bit and lay out what we know, what's being worked on and what you can do about it...

    Hacking 3c33 Roundup (Wii U Only) - Exploits, boot1 and non-specificity, oh my!

    Hey all! Well, I've just finished watching the Nintendo Hacking segment at this year's 3c33 - naehrwert, derrek and nedwill presented an hour-long talk on all things Wii U and 3DS. Actually, not all things. In fact, the Wii U section was kinda disappointing. Very much so. To start off, we got...

    Hardware Absolutely broken internal keyboard / trackpad on laptop?

    Hey all! I've managed to screw up my laptop. Badly. Long story short, I was playing with FreeDOS (on-hardware, never been much of a VM guy) when the internal keyboard stopped working. Thinking it was an OS glitch, I rebooted the machine into Windows 10 only to find it doesn't work there...

    Homebrew Official [PoC/Release] Live Sound Synthesis

    Hi all! Just a bit of a proof of concept; it's live sound synthesis on the Wii U! This program actually generates all the sounds it makes on the fly. Previous stuff on the Wii U played audio files (mp3s and things) but here I've shown that you can also generate these sounds as you go. It uses...

    Suggestion Redirect to HTTPS / Add HSTS

    Hey all! I was playing around with different browsers for an experiment I was doing and was surprised to find that GBATemp will serve all its content over standard HTTP. This is actually the default behaviour for Internet Explorer and Edge (when typing "gbatemp.net" into the URL bar). This...

    Suggestion Reorganise the Wii U Hacking & Homebrew section

    Hey all! As some of you may know, the homebrew scene around the Wii U has been growing a lot lately. Development has been picking up and the release of several exploits is finally starting to reap the rewards. Wii U owners now have a one-stop homebrew shop, game dumping and loading, extensive...

    Tutorial Rip and (re)mix your own Hyrule Warriors soundtrack!

    Hey all! Just did this myself and wanted to share it with you all. Basically, you can rip and (re)mix your own Hyrule Warriors soundtrack with a few simple tools.

    Hacking IOSU exploit details released for pre-5.2 systems

    https://nwert.wordpress.com/2016/05/03/ioctlvhax/ Well, this will be interesting. It's worth noting that this bug may still be exploitable on newer systems through the use of SysCall 0x2E, which changes the limit on the amount of vectors we can pass in. However, we need IOSU userland access to...

    Hey all! So I've been trying to get GX2 (the graphics engine, not loadiine!) running under 5.5 browserhax and, well, I've gotten stuck and need some help F: I've been following Dimok's coloured cube example basically to a T. With the help of my funky memory library thing with a terrible name...

    Hacking Hyrule Warriors - System Update?

    So, I went out the other day and bought myself a brand new copy of Hyrule Warriors. However, when I put it in my 5.5.1 Wii U and tried to open it an update started installing. For obvious reasons, I hit cancel as soon as I saw it and was notified that I won't be playing Hyrule Warriors until the...

    Hacking [WIP] Wii U Development Tutorial

    Concerns have come up surrounding teaching a tempoary, unclean environment (browserhax). As such, this project is on hold for now and I won't be writing any more content until further notice. Read thread page 2 for details. Sorry about that. I've now started writing a Wii U Development...

    Hacking [Development] Many, many memory questions

    Hey all! So I've been poking around in the documentation a lot recently and I've ended up with quite a few questions surrounding memory where everything's a but unclear and it seems we've only got vague forum posts to go off. So, I figured I'd throw a list at you all and we'll see how many we...

    Homebrew Official [5.5.0/1][WIP] LiteNESU - A terrible (userspace) NES emulator

    Brienj has turned my little PoC into a workable product! Check it out here and on his GitHub here. Hey everyone! As you can tell from the title, this is a NES emulator that runs under 5.5.0/5.5.1. It's based off LiteNES (github) so it's fairly limited (no sound, basically no compatibility with...

    Hacking Crashing on curl_easy_setup?

    Hey everyone! I'm writing a little program for the WiiU and it needs to grab some files with cURL (similar to what the ELF loader does) It's all going well, up until the call to curl_easy_setup - where the system crashes. The majority of the cURL code (basically everything but the write...
