Wii U hacked?

[ShadowSoldier]

I'm not sure if Nintendo should be crying yet as this doesn't say what the hack can do. For all we know, it just allows users to run homebrew.

Honestly, I hope it doesn't allow the ability to play backups.

The thing that annoys me here is that they don't specify what this means, or what they've done.
They don't need to explain what method they used, or even anything technical.
I just wish they'd say what we can perhaps expect from this progress, whatever progress that is.

Well they have the ability to load and display images. This means one and maybe two things.

1 - It's certain they have access to something outside of a text mode or simply replacing some strings as-is.
2 - Unless they embedded the image in the binary or something, it means they can load outside resources as well.

Was unexpectedly quick!

Inb4 the same twiizer attack to gain access to the Wii U mode's RAM.

i 1st heard of this about 3 days ago on ps3crunch by a very reliable user there ,he said give it a week or 2 and wii u will be wide open, I think his source was hector martin's aka marcan twitter feed, though I asked about this and got a sort of ambiguous answer as to whether it was meant that wii mode or wii u mode was hacked. Guess this answers the question then? Oh well, hopefully fof will be making a presentation at CCC (29c3) this year, maybe a big announcement, or 2.

How exactly would you know this?

The 3DS has nothing to do with the Wii U. Just because it took almost three years for the 3DS to be hacked does not mean that the Wii U couldn't be hacked much sooner.

Anyway, as was pointed out earlier, this was announced by fail0verflow. That is pretty much the same group that originally hacked the Wii.

nintendo will try their best to keep homebrew off new systems

I'm glad you cleared that up for us. I had no idea.

Just because you try your best does not mean you will succeed. One mistake and hackers are in your system running unsigned code. Just do yourself a favor and just stop.

I wouldn't say mistake, I mean, look how long it took for the 3DS to get supposedly hacked. (I say supposedly because I didnt read that thread and have no idea what the news is)

 

[Bladexdsl]

Nintendo must be crying.

crying that sales are going to skyrocket now that homebrew and free gamez are possible on it?

Whatever happened to good ol' Hello Worlds? This image embedding nonsense is too fancy for my blood.

It took 3 years for the 3DS to get hacked?
The 3DS hasnt even been out for that long and you can't predict that.
Also FailOverflow are pretty good, they don't really focus on handhelds so this is no big shock.

I just don't think it's hacked.

What did you mean by "It took almost 3 years for the 3DS"
