This is amazing news!
Any plans/chances about bringing the screenshot-tab back?
Well until we figure out the best way to send a screenshot through network in a reasonable amount of time, neither UCap for Gamepad recording or screenshots will be coming any time soon
Ok. Here. I will give you the definitive test. Can you make an exploit all on your own?
Oh, you can't. Then tough shit. Wait like everyone else.
How about saving it on SD/USB and transmitting it locally in the background thereafter (if at all over the network)?
If I make a screenshot I'd like it to be in lossless quality but an optional slider or sth similar that defines the "strength" of compression is presumably the best option to make everyone happy!
Um, possibly, use that as a streaming buffer, since it'd need to be close to realtime. I need to see how libdrc does it :\How about saving it on SD/USB and transmitting it locally in the background thereafter (if at all over the network)?

I'm going to make tutorials about it as soon as the kernel exploit is out
But it won't be too different from generic hacking. Here are some interesting hints for beginners: http://doc.kodewerx.org/generic_code_hacking.html#known_value_searches

Is there a chance of game cheats/save trading coming in development?
Speaking of which, are there plans on combining them maybe?
I mean libdrc wasn't updated since 2014 (although cross-platform was planned an not implemented) combining it with libwiiu would just make sense wouldn't it?
libdrc is a totally different project from libwiiu. The former is a library to talk to the Gamepad from the PC through your computer's network card, and the latter is a framework for running C code in the Wii U web browser.
I know! It would still make sense to me!
But since the Wii U itself doesn't really need an external library to "talk" to the GamePad I guess it doesn't need to be included, oh well!
He will! When it's going to happen is explained just a few pages back!
Screenshots should be possible. we would hook the end of whatever command refreshes the framebuffer, then copy the framebuffer someplace where we can take our time sending it over tcpgeckos socket.
Might be harder than that, but we don't have to go for speed, TCPGecko is already fast compared to the actual gecko on Wii was, and screenshot taking back then sucked too.

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:
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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 -
