I guess I'll see when it's release, but I'm wondering if eshop access will be possible with the firmware spoofer.
I would like to update/download netflix app :P

if it's only a network access for games, that's great enough for a lot of users.

the thing is if those games get an actual update instead of just the nag then they wont be playable same for games needing an update to work already if people didnt updated in time before 5.4.0, becuase downloading a game update is the same as e shop download considering your downloading from nus all the same.

yes, that's why I asked if eshop access was possible with spoof.
netflix released an update on august 28th, and as I'm still on 5.3.2 I can't launch it anymore.
I still have access on my Wii if it's not possible on WiiU anymore.

It looks like there are a lot of new stuff out for 5.3.2 (Cheat codes, spoofer, N64/DS injection, MK8 music replacement, etc.). Do these all work on lower firmware as well or is some porting needed?

Exactly what I need to know.. do I update to 5.3.2 or stay on 5.0.0 cuz all I see is 5.3.2 this and that :'(

Porting is needed. I think @golden45 would be your guy for Cafiine, and @NWPlayer123 for TCP Gecko?

But I personally don't see a point in staying anywhere between 3.1.0 and 5.3.2. Crediar even said FW spoofing would be coming for 5.3.2. What's the point of staying lower? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Fix94 backported the Kernel back to 3, as for the rest, you can compile them using the build.py to 5.0.

The kernal supports all these versions:

Code:
if VER == 200
#define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL 0xFFE85910
#define KERN_CODE_READ 0xFFF02214
#define KERN_CODE_WRITE 0xFFF02234
#define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL 0xFFEB4E00
#define KERN_HEAP 0xFF200000
#elif VER == 210
#define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL 0xFFE85910
#define KERN_CODE_READ 0xFFF02214
#define KERN_CODE_WRITE 0xFFF02234
#define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL 0xFFEB4E40
#define KERN_HEAP 0xFF200000
#elif VER == 300
#define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL 0xFFE85950
#define KERN_CODE_READ 0xFFF02214
#define KERN_CODE_WRITE 0xFFF02234
#define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL 0xFFEB66E4
#define KERN_HEAP 0xFF200000
#elif VER == 310
#define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL 0xFFE85950
#define KERN_CODE_READ 0xFFF02214
#define KERN_CODE_WRITE 0xFFF02234
#define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL 0xFFEB66E4
#define KERN_HEAP 0xFF200000
#elif VER == 400
#define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL 0xFFE85890
#define KERN_CODE_READ 0xFFF02214
#define KERN_CODE_WRITE 0xFFF02234
#define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL 0xFFEB7E5C
#define KERN_HEAP 0xFF200000
#elif VER == 410
#define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL 0xffe85890
#define KERN_CODE_READ 0xfff02214
#define KERN_CODE_WRITE 0xfff02234
#define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL 0xffeb902c
#define KERN_HEAP 0xFF200000
#elif VER == 500
#define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL 0xffea9520
#define KERN_CODE_READ 0xfff021f4
#define KERN_CODE_WRITE 0xfff02214
#define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL 0xffea9e4c
#define KERN_HEAP 0xFF200000
#elif VER == 532
#define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL 0xFFEAA0E0
#define KERN_CODE_READ 0xFFF02274
#define KERN_CODE_WRITE 0xFFF02294
#define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL 0xFFEAAA10
#define KERN_HEAP 0xFF200000
#else

If your's isn't on this list, you can try adding the preprocessor directive for your version. For example, I have two unused Wii U's that are at 4.1.0 and 5.1.2 repectively. I haven't bother to check if they are compatible with the 5.0 or 5.32 syscall table.

If you don't need the firmware for a specific game stay to the lowest version possible.... you never know... but in this occasion you need to make sure that you can use splatoon or mario party U (10 ?) to update since you can't from the internet. I think they say that the exploit is stable at 5.3.2 version not that its not working to older. Firmware spoofing seems like it is based to the latest exploit that was released with "Hello" word.

I remember on Wii hacking sections they were saying that older wiis with older starting firmware have more recovery options... I remember how dangerous could be to go back to older firmware to be able to install recovery software.

A bad guess is all that these, you'll have to run them from the Internet browser, a long procedure that you have to it every time for you and your kids :P . Maybe lowest firmware has better possibilities to avoid the hassle since we don't know at which point wii U will be hacked.

He's busy, he's not abandoning everyone. :P

Sorry, it's just, I'm somewhat anxious and wary about what's going to be released since my virtual console testing has been in vain, somewhat off topic, I know, too bad no one's ever gonna port Snes9x or Bsnes over to the Wii U. If that can be done, then we don't have to inject ROMs (which has had very mixed results).

man am i sick of those special people. They had iosu hack since 3.0 or some shit. Yet noone delivers anything.
Hail to crediar for FINALLY doing something

If that was targeted at me, all I can say is that there's no point in releasing some shady source code for an unverified exploit.
Not only that, but I've been debunking most of the stuff people told me regarding that exploit, so there's a great possibility that it was just an elaborate hoax to trick someone.
A lot of false information has been circulating about the Wii U hacks since 2012, so the only guaranteed source that does have a full exploit vector on the Wii U is fail0verflow.

Regardless, if you have been paying attention, I've began documenting the IOSU already: http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
I'm focused on developing a whole new exploit from scratch that could work up to the latest firmware which, allegedly, is not the case for the 3.x.x one.

Finally, we've stated a couple times that firmware spoofing requires IOSU level. That doesn't mean you can't forge requests from the PPC level using /dev/mcp, for example: http://wiiubrew.org/wiki//dev/mcp

Anyway, don't expect to hear much from me again. I prefer to stay clear from the drama that pops up each time we announce something.

are there plans to release the 5.5.0 kernel exploit? I am not demanding anyone to or asking when it will be released, just curious if there are plans to release it? I updated my WiiU (knowing that it wasn't a good choice) because I wanted to purchase from the e-shop and support nintendo).

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
