Hacking [OLD] Loadiine backup loader for WiiU 5.3.2 ONLY (NO 5.4 NO 5.5!)

[Cyan]

it looks legit.
I don't know who made it, but it's a developer who knows and understand GX/GX2 graphical libraries.

We (well dimok and other devs) planed to do a GUI soon, but someone else did.
we don't know if it will be released, if it is then we could merge it with official loadiine release. If not, we will do our own. there's now a lot more available memory for a nice GUI.

That's good to hear hopefully the person that made that will release it would save abit of work. Also I was wondering if at some point there would be a way for loadiine to remember which mode you want to use for each individual game? That would be a nice feature. Either way I'm looking forwud to the new releases

I think settings can be a future feature.
one thing at a time.

First, compatibility will arise on next release.
Then probably a GUI, next a proper settings menu.
settings could contains server's IP and server enable/disabled (that's the only options for the moment).
Though, the server is (currently) enabled at loadiine install, not at game selection. It may change in next release


other settings which could be nice: (It's NOT worked on or planed)
- Launch disc (to bypass update warning but not redirect files to SD). Could be used for users without spoof, to play online from disc (maybe, if there's no additional check later).
- enable TCPgecko handler
- save location (internal, SD) (if we find how to allow write access to another folder)
- save per profile (use proper userID instead of shared c and u)
- enable NNUpatcher (nnu patch replacement, to access eshop ingames, to buy DLCs, WHEN online will work), but could be enabled by default, no setting needed.
- dump game files (dumpiine replacement)
- dump save files (saviine replacement)
- Force Region+Language (to use EU/en instead of US/en by default, prevent renaming folders)

Its nice to see loadiine improving, I never thought it would become so good!

I only hope Mario Kart 8 will be playable one day... or maybe it will just when we have IOSU exploit...

mario kart 8 has already been confirmed working on their private beta, the next release should hopefully bring compatibility to near 100%

any chance of a region spoofer too, it seems that its just determined by the country.bin file from the nand (afaik), would help for games that lack the language files for other regions (i.e US Nes remix) not totally necessary, but would be handy to not have to try figure out what files need to be moved about when launching out of region games

w0000ttt!!!!!!!

 

[Cyan]

I'll ask dimok (or he will read it himself here) if the country.bin content in memory can be patched.
I don't have games which needs path renaming to test, but I guess I can test with multi-language games.
So it would be a setting to force a region and language.

This is exciting news. Can anyone point out where I could maybe follow developers or anything for the updates, much like how Smealum can be just followed on twitter for the latest and greatest.

I would personally like something that maybe could modify it in memory, so you can "install" it like you "install" loadiine, without modifying it in the system memory. People already told that the Wii U is too tightly knit and just modifying your region data can brick your system currently.

here.
this is the place we report new versions, and progress (I even spoil the future features too soon, haha)
There's no twitter or facebook, or social media. this thread is the only one.

You can also check this graphic to see if a new release is available:

Good stuff. Not that it is too bad it is just hard to keep up with forums especially ones as fast as these.
I still find current state of Wii U fun. Seeing the presentation from fail0verflow it might take a while before we have a Wii U homebrew channel or anything like that. Wii U was not PS3 by sony (sadly?)

Hi there,
does SD card speed (UHS-I or UHS-II) noticeably makes a difference in games loading speed ?

oh yeah i didnt mean install anything, i just meant see if its possible to patch the game on the fly to alter language settings, i had a lil mess about with it but im no dev and im sure they could do something much more streamlined and more importantly functional

I think it is noticeable between class 4 to 10 but dunno about anything over 10 (or UHS1).
Also like I been advocating: If you are having slow loading times with some of your games, try to format the card in 64Kb allocation size. This helps with some titles quite drastically, like Project Zero.

I dont have uhs2 or 3 to try that but I highly doubt that WiiUs slot would support that speed.

Well, If it's your dream to play that game, why not buy just that one game?

yes, that's my dream do not see the problem.
you do not dream in your country?
you are from sweden. you are already in Europe does not dream of that you have everything.
unfortunately we only have our dreams.

lol to be honest that doesnt make much sence, if you had the money to buy an wiiu im sure you can atleast buy 2 or 3 games a year, i mean when i really want a game i save up and buy it for my colection.

 

[fatsquirrel]

If you only have dreams what hardware will run your game on then?

let's keep this thread about loadiine.
thanks.

we all understood that he wanted to pirate his games instead of buying the one he wants.
Let it go, he is not the first one and will not be the last. everybody did it once. don't start getting on him.
If he wanted to buy games he would already have. if he doesn't want, that's not someone else who will make him change.
we don't need another debate, this is the loader thread. let users do what they want with their games.

 

[Techup]

the problem is not in money or buy games . problem in that it is not available in my country

sorry Cyan

 

[deformyer]

Hmmm, the OP mentions that SD cards up to 256GB are supported, but wiiubrew states that the wiiu has a SDHC port which only supports up to 32GB.
