Since that works, will there be a way to unbrick the vWii for people who flashed the wrong IOS there? I'm not someone who did that btw. but I'm asking for several other people who did it here on the forums and who get a blackscreen once entering vWii.

Wow, fantastic news! Can't say I'm surprised this is possible now, though, the Wii U scene is getting better every day :)
Of course, today of all days would be the day I bought Lego Star Wars to hack vWii. I guess it'll just be easier to use that instead, IOSUHAX seems a little complicated right now!

it should be doable yea, but that will probably require some people who actually have bricked vwiis to test out stuff and report on how it bricked.

Well I know at least one who could tell you that, look here: http://gbatemp.net/threads/is-anyone-working-on-a-tool-to-check-vwii-ios-etc.446707/#post-6785094

But in general wouldn't it be possible to make the Home Menu load a .elf file instead of the Menu itself (WAD Manager as example) and they could then completely reflash all original IOS to restore their vWii?

the home menu is actually encrypted using a different key and hash verified by the wiiu before being loaded so no, you cant just replace the home menu or install priiloader to it as far as I know, which is why it would be such a mess.

Hm... What about the downloadable eShop Wii games? Are they actually launched inside the real vWii or are they something "special" in that regard? What if someone replaces such a game with homebrew stuff, would we be able to access the IOS from the vWii?

Wait.... We'rent you the guy who made the GC hack for 007 Agent under Fire a long time ago?
uh, I wouldnt call 8 months a long time ago but whatever, also yea I wrote like 7 gamecube save exploits or whatever this year and tons of other gamecube, wii and wiiu homebrew which you can probably find all over the place, funny how you associate my name with one of the least significant ones.

Too bad just last week I bought SSBB to hack vWii. If I had just waited I could have done it for free. Oh well.
Great work with this, I was wondering a month ago when/if it would be possible to hack vWii from Wii U

Hi!
I have an issue... When i start mii channel on the vWii, it freezes at "FAT init".
Any ideas? XD

edit: but yeah, great work FIX94!!

Is your vWii already hacked, have you modified any IOS'es, is your SDCard in read/write state , is your SDCard fat32, is there the boot.elf in the root of it

Nope, the vWii is not hacked. Yep, the boot.elf is on the root. I'll try to reformat the sd card to fat32.

edit: OK, problem solved -> DON'T PLUG ANY USB!!
