so you could make an elf loader using the html and payload, which can boot any .elf file on SD or USB?
That would be easier to compile just the elf once we have a working elf loader (with file browser that would be even better :P).

Yeah, that's the plan. We would need to get USB working first, though, or have it load over the network for now.

All the talk about the wait for the kernel exploit metaphorically killing people reminds me of this time of year back in 2003 right after StarCube released the ISO of Wind Waker and everyone lost their minds waiting for the softmod to come out :D The cycle never ends; does it? :)

Hykem 06/19/2015: The WebKit source code wasn't updated that much (536.28 to 536.30). Tons of vulnerabilities have been found since then.

On the beggining when 5.4.0 out Hykem said not to update because will take longer but now he found tons of vulnerabilities so preview 5.4.0 hacked is more optimistic.

It sounds like what Hykem means, and I could be mistaken, is that tons (multiple) vulnerabilities has been found in the WebKit open source project since the release of the code base that Nintendo is using in their console. It is possible that Nintendo patched several of those known WebKit bugs when merging code from that branch of WebKit to Nintendo's branch of WebKit. Time will tell. If anything the team working on this have more than proven they are capable of some truly awesome things. Thanks guys!

If there are potentially more vunerabilities in the Webkit, then there is even more reason to not release the kernel exploit yet. What would people actually do with it at this point in time?

The game cheats thing is fair enough - a lot of people do want that. Still, once the exploit is release, it's released and will be patched.

I believe piracy would require an IOSU exploit, though.

I got the shittiest luck possible on Earth.

I've tried Fix94's site, wj44's and Wii U android.nl...
I can't get any homebrew to load. :lol:

I already cleared the cookies, closed all tabs but just one with the Homebrew list...
Still nothing. D:

I assume that you mean this is only necessary for 5.3.2?
Have you tried my site (wiiulib.arndroid.nl) which is now also directly linking to the correct payload? (It creates the link for the WiiU FW version you're visiting the site with)

I think it should now just work fine on 5.3.2 via my site. :)
no still doesnt work maybe the bubbels are the problem on 5.3.2

Aww, well thanks for testing.

Edit:
Bubbles are removed now.. Let's hope. :P
still doesn't work!
edit:I think I found the problem!

Can you replace the "link" element in the payload532 from hello world with "area"? then I can test it!

Link element? You mean my Div elements (with onclick JS)?

And with area, you mean anchor element?

I'll try to do that in a few. :)

  • 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    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)
