Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

Marionumber1,

Can you tell me what special purpose register upir is for? I'd love to chat sometime about a few things if possible.

UPIR is the CPU number.

What about r13?

 

[NWPlayer123]

r0-r31 are all general purpose registers.

fail0verflow presented just about everything they possibly could about the Wii U (short boot1) without outright spelling out the exact exploits they used last year, so not expecting anything from them regarding it this year. They'll probably show off a bunch of other cool stuff at their table though.

NWPlayer, MN1, not sure what exactly you guys have cooking, but definitely sounds exciting

Why don't you say what you are getting at? Lol.

NWPlayer123 while yes they are general purpose that doesn't tell me which registers are used for what. For instance, r28-r31 are promise save registers, commonly used to save variables prior to leafing instead of on the stack. Other registers have specific purposes even though they are not "special purpose registers."

Ray Lewis, I am not getting "at" anything, I am asking general questions for my own knowledge.

*edit*typo*edit*

r13 usually points to a global data area. You'd find global variable accesses using it.

dumb question. how do you guys read from the console? you have it connected to pc?

The current public exploit runs an rpc server

Hi NWPlayer123: The thing you were hinting at on about page 79 or so, is there chance it could be out before end of month?

stop nagging the devs it will be out WHEN IT'S OUT!

Will this lead to use the gamepad in vWii mode sometime, or it has nothing to do with the exploit your working on?
btw, Thank you for your selfless work.

Nope, that would require an IOSU exploit, this is only a kernel exploit. It should be possible to recreate the same thing in Wii U mode, once an IOSU exploit is made vWii will basically be obsolete.

If gamepad support is ever added to linux, in theory one could implement it in a port of linux for the vWii, but without an IOSU exploit, its still going to be blocked. For an example, when doing anything in vWii mode and you try to use the gamepad it immediately gives an error on the screen stating something along the lines of Wii software cannot be controlled with the gamepad.

The main reason I say that is that IOSU is what handles Cafe2Wii for sandboxing everything. In order to change how the sandbox works you need access to IOSU.

I posted about this in another thread. The exploit was "given up." Everything else will get patched, regardless of "obfuscation." The encryption part and maybe common key people talk about might be out there. If anyone could really explain how useful that is that would be great.

With these private keys, we can decrypt and resign isos filesystems, install and run homebrew "officially." making it near impossible for nintendo to detect content signed by by homebrewers etc....

yup, isn't it so great ;3

Private keys are not found, they are almost NEVER found. At least if they are nobody shares them. Wasn't that what Sony messed up? You can do what TSK mentioned with the common key? Here are the keys off the top of my head. What others ones are there and what are these and other keys needed for?

1.) Ancast keys
2.) Title keys (per game, right, unique?)
3.) Common key
4.) vWii keys that I guess are the same as with the Wii (right?)

Hard reset was SAID to have been needed to get to the OTP area, right? Where other keys are stored? I also thought the IOSU exploit was needed to go further than a kernel exploit? Haha, this is going to be interesting. Can we pretend today is Christmas? Lol, spell out what keys you have since they cannot be stopped, supposedly? Decryption...common key...ancast keys were talked about before...each game has a title key.... The tool I thought Crediar made but was "not useful without the common key"? Lol. I hate guessing.
