you haven't even attempted 1 yet, your attempts at 2 can be summarised as "Rewrite that C pseudocode into ASM" you think 3 and 4 are unnecessary because "linux does magic and stuff" and you're already thinking about 5. this doesn't look that great to me.
all you're doing is discussing and clobbering some threads where a few people are actually trying to get some work done. you have ~20 pages of mostly useless discussions and "what-if" scenarios and "I have this really great idea but no technical knowledge at all".

Most people would probably like to unlock their Wii U to play backups, and that is pure piracy.
If piracy is all you want, I'd recommend to invest some money in a Wii U modchip ( when the right one comes along )
Take a look at this:Does the modchip you are talking about allow you to mod your games? Better res, smoother gameplay, etc, etc? Does it allow you to run emu's on the tablet? Does it give you access to the root of the Wii U? There are a lot more uses for backups than Piracy so pull your head out of your ass and quit talking shit.
I haven't seen Ray, not once, bash on Marcan or claim that he, himself is an experienced hacker. In fact he constantly says the exact opposite of this.
And this:Everyone has skills. Mine are basketball, Texas Hold'em, Psychology, working with developmentally disabled (mostly children but some adults), and martial arts. I also am well versed in Physics. Unfortunately, while this helps my self esteem, and I doubt Marcan has any of those skills, this is not applicable here. I dabbled a LITTLE in Java but that is laughable to most who code and this was one semester to see if I wanted to go that route. Building, repairing, upgrading networks and computers has been my passion--and soldering. I should have kept contacts from college who were heavily into all of this stuff. Advocating for the poor and disadvantaged for public services and legal rights is something else I am known for. Some decent mathematical abilities as well.
Cool you had that experience. You also obviously have some "people skills" in how you execute a discourse with other people Comex.
.............
All you want is piracy, and while some are helping, leeches like you just hope homebrew fails because it could also give for free what you are doing by charging anyway. I hope Marcan pisses in your face or somebody else does. Know where you can stick those mod chips? Ignore after this, lol.
Does the modchip you are talking about allow you to mod your games? Better res, smoother gameplay, etc, etc?
I would like applications, such as VNC viewer (or any similar dedicated software made by Nintendo?) to control my computer with the pad, and improving the actual features of the WiiU like dual (Analog) audio output when using HMDI cable ! Why can't nintendo make such a thing?I can't think of anything I would want on the Wii U, besides improved emulators maybe.
Take a look at this:
And this:
Now, that brings me to the question, WTF does he know about Marcan to feel entitled to talk this way ?
And, he doesn't come off as a nice, helping fellow either when pushed in the corner.
No, a modchip can't do that, but my PC can..........
Why would anyone spend an insane amount of work ( other people work BTW ) to achieve things already available it's behind my comprehension.
If I understand things right, the linux you are using was a port for the gamecube?
To my knowledge, that system wasn't having usb, but I could be wrong about it.
In case I am not, I don't expect it to support usb just like that. If it was a wii port, that's something different.
Geez, Either I am reading way too much into the latest development with linux, or the community doesn't really seem to care.
1. Gamecube had 24MB RAM? or something around there. Wii has 512MB.
2. This Linux kernel is detecting 300-something megs of ram. Could be because some memory needs to be reserved for IOS, but I can only speculate.
3. The name of the project is 'gc-linux', but they also made a Wii implementation (seriously, somebody look at at this, I never owned a Wii so all of this crap is NEW to me.)
4. I found the Kernel Source for gc-linux, as well as the '.config' which contains the parameters for driver/device support in this kernel release. That means this kernel can be recompiled.
5. We've already established that to some extent, this operating system can reach outside the normal boundaries of AN ORDINARY WII, i.e. it can see all four USB ports, not just the 2 the Wii had. Yes, usb hub support. Point is, its visible to the kernel.
6. How am I booting Linux? I'm launching it through HBC. Using the system menu to start BootMii still results in blank screen.
7. My understanding of benefits of bootmii launch vs IOS launch, was bootmii enabled support for USB2.0 and WiFi. Well, right out of the box, the kernel may not fully utilize this hardware, but it DETECTS it. That means its visible to the kernel. Its a DRIVER ISSUE at this point.
Please, I'm no where near experienced enough to do this on my own. I've recompiled kernels, I can build programs from source, do some code modification and research, but I could use some help. I wish someone here would follow that procedure I linked and get Linux booting and see if their USB keyboard works.
If needed,I can make a raw image of my 2GB SDHC card and put it somewhere, then someone with a 2GB SD card can write it to theirs with all the necessary partitions, etc, though, i don't think that tutorial was very hard to follow.
@Rayman - Buck up soldier! You letting these goons get to you? Come on. Its ok to take a step back for a little bit, I understand your frustration. But look at all the exposure you've already managed to get this. You've got people coming here and commenting from various groups and boards.
Its the nature of the hacking scene (from experience, I was a script kiddie in a past life) to be stubborn, arrogant, a-holes. They don't want to see you succeed. They want THEIR name on a release. A release (of this type) from a true community effort such as this is something completely unusual in the scene.
So chill out, go punt some babies. Smoke a doob. Come back with a clear head, and find me someone to look at the kernel source.
PLEASE read this:

I would like to see this too. I almost bought new Receiver that could handle HDMI audio, but I saw that component cable video was better than HDMI video, in another board.I would like applications, such as VNC viewer (or any similar dedicated software made by Nintendo?) to control my computer with the pad, and improving the actual features of the WiiU like dual (Analog) audio output when using HMDI cable ! Why can't nintendo make such a thing?
Actually The Wii only hasGeez, Either I am reading way too much into the latest development with linux, or the community doesn't really seem to care.

2. This Linux kernel is detecting 300-something megs of ram. Could be because some memory needs to be reserved for IOS, but I can only speculate.
Actually The Wii only has
24megs(mem1)+64megs(mem2)+16megs(ARAM ... if you want to count that) which only totals out to 104megs. I can only guess that what's being shown there is virtual memory or something.

Linux doesn't have "Virtual Memory" like windows does.Actually The Wii only has
24megs(mem1)+64megs(mem2)+16megs(ARAM ... if you want to count that) which only totals out to 104megs. I can only guess that what's being shown there is virtual memory or something.
hmm, I guess I don't know what I'm looking at then. It's interesting that I also see "MemTotal: 66456 kB" right under the 307, though, so I'm lost there.Linux doesn't have "Virtual Memory" like windows does.
It has "Swap space" which is a special partition. I think what's being shown is PHYSICAL memory. You'll see in my post above: SwapTotal: 0 (zero).
