Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

Hmm... i wonder if the standard calss library (excluding platform specific librarys, like WiiMote and gx), and then use the already avaliable rpl's.

is this actually true tho? only reason i ask is because the vwii has the same amount of ram and processors as the standard wii. the only difference of having 3cores would be that the processors and ram wouldnt just rely on 1core? so technically it wouldnt be any different (more power) then normal? or am i wrong

Its true once we figure out how to actually fully utilize these additional cores. Right now The Trinux Team is currently working on this with their official kernel image. I have yet to actually play around with the official kernel image at all. I went for Easy Wii Linux first as I'm already familiar with it as I had it on my original Wii before I gave it to my nephew for his birthday . I plan on trying the latest Trinux Kernel image next, but as for fully utilizing all 3 cores, this has not been achieved yet. They are able to run code on all three cores but not to its full potential yet.

My only issue is that they specifically locked all the specs down so it doesn't break any games. It's meant to run exactly like a wii, adding the extra cores kinda defeats the point, that's what Cafe mode is for So if you fry your wii u/discs/anything else it's not my fault.

Its not likely that you would fry the wii u or any of that. All of the hardware isn't even enabled, no reason for anything to overheat or anything (unless you have a defective console lol). As for bricking, yes there is a slight risk while installing the bootmii wad and IOS 236 (for the wad manager), but that's true of any wad/cIOS file as its writing to the NAND or in this case Virtual NAND. As for the rest of the exploit, nothing is actually being written to NAND. Outside of of installing the cIOS and installing the Bootmii Wad, the chance of bricking the console is almost non-existent.

However, if something were to go critically wrong for whatever reason and something DID cook or brick, it would be worth it. I don't mind sacrificing a console to the "digital gods" in the name of developing homebrew lmao

hmm... i cant seem to find code.bin?

I'm not sure who this question is directed at? lol

I'm hoping to join Ninja_Carver in the epic quest to make Trinux a viable platform for homebrew. I'm currently awaiting his reply, but seeing as its a holiday weekend, it could be a while lol

I hope that we have something besides an ODE for Wii U homebrew.

So did the WiiU key just end up doing nothing important?

Personally couldn't care less, softmods are better anyway.

Do you know anyone who can do the smp part that is the toughest task? I hoped there is something on the Wiig U Come might share. He seems to be the most friendly. Wii U side has to have useful "drivers" that could be adapted. I am probably too imaginative.

it hasn't been released yet and when it has it will only be used for pirating no homebrew.

As the French say, c'est la vie.

 

[Okeado]

Oh, then my bad.

I heard people were getting recent pre-orders or something.

 

[filfat]

Any interesting findings so far?

Alright, good news guys. Thanks to some work by Chadderz and me, we were able to get memory dumps on a 5.0.0 Wii U. I then used these memory dumps to rebuild the ROP chain, which as it turns out, also works on 5.1.0. This means that all versions of the Wii U system software above and including 4.0.0 are supported. As always, you can find the code here.
