lol i have seen plenty of people who have no clue about their routers....infact you would probably be cutting off about 70% of the worlds internet users lol
That's fine by me :D But the truth is, all it takes is some research. Just as much effort as they're putting in to trying to hack. But then again, if they ask a million questions maybe they aren't putting any effort in at all....

@bache I never messed with one. No test points inside? JTAG?

2) I've been poking at textures some more, I have something from a while ago that can convert GTX straight to PNG but it doesn't work with swizzling, yet. I keep trying but nothing's clicking, if you wanna try there's an issue here with more stuff. I might try zhuowei's version out later.

i have try your TaxHaxU but the .dds are broken everytime...

Are you using normal or Lossless, you should only be using lossless, texconv2 doesn't like converting certain formats directly to DDS. Also, I recommend paint.net for opening and converting back and forth from DDS to PNG

So I have a bit of a problem I'm hacking this then giving it to my kids who live with their mother. I obviously don't have access to my ex's router. How safe is it just to use the tubehax DNS workaround?

100% as long as they edit the settings for the internet, uses a static IP so should work with anything that connects to it

Thank you for the quick reply! Is there a tutorial for this? Can I lock them out so they can't possibly screw it up? Their only 9&10

Um, you might be able to use parental controls, literally just go to internet > connections > click on it and click edit settings, move over a page, and edit the DNS IP to be manual and enter it in.

Maybe server issue. Try again in a few maybe? Don't know man. :(
I can't tell. Everything is fine on my router side.

I've just unpluged the router, loaded smash without it's update, ran tcgp gecko, and I was connected on my pc just fine.

Now I rebooted, and it doesn't want to connect to the NNID

Web browser works just fine.

I'll try later. I don't mind to not see my friend list for now.

What version of the kernel exploit, PyGecko or TCP Gecko do I need to read the FSA of Super Mario 3D World?
The only TCP Gecko version that works for me is the first compatible release and once I've got the "client" one working. But they can't read the FSA

If I'm dumping a game with TCPGecko, and my console shuts off after 7gb, do I have to dump the whole things again, or will it recognize the old files and skip them? I really don't want to have to dump a whole game again.

Pretty sure you have to start again. I changed my shutdown timer to 5 hours.
