No worries on that, but homebrew channels won't lead to anything either? Like they did on the 3DS banwave
Such a case is not known yet so the answer for now is no.

I answered your question in another thread already but even if you're afraid of a banwave because of unsigned titles on your homescreen (like Homebrew Launcher Channel would be) just stick to loading HBL from a Haxchi game which Ninty likely never detects.

I'm thinking of getting into WIIU modding but I can only buy 2nd hand/used consoles. What steps can I take to ensure I don't get one that is updated past the point I can't mod?

all wii u systems are hackable.
yea well, from what i heard, 5.5.2 is hackable but the exploit doesnt work everytime, its pure randomness
though I don't know if it's still the case, maybe they updated tbhe exploit

yes. some people can get it to work, no problem; others can't get it to work at all. it's best to stay on 5.5.1, at least 'til haxchi is installed. however, all systems are hackable as of right now. also, you only need to trigger the exploit once for haxchi (have your exploit game and the haxchi installer ready), so being on 5.5.2 isn't a big deal really. ;)

Hello everybody, I am new here. I would like to ask you if there is a way to install wiiu games backups directly on usb hd with my 5.5.2 wiiu? At the moment I am using loadiine loading games by my 4gb sd card. Wiiu games are havy and to buy a bigger sd is too expensive, I would prefer to use a 2 tb usb drive.

Another question: is possible to keep 2 usb hd at the same time on wiiu? One would ne used for game cube e wii games on the vWii, and the second for wiiu and ds backups.

Thanks

Read the last couple of pages. There was mention of the external harddrive requiring a power source, as the WiiU will not provide power to a large drive. Also, I think two drives can be connected at the same time, yes. As long as you have it all setup to read from the correct one.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
