[Rumor] WiikeÜ ?

[the_randomizer]

Hopefully these fuckers have the common courtesy to say "You know, we love Nintendo, we don't want to hurt them, we'll just allow it to only play Wii Games, not WiiU games." Seriously, piracy can fuck off and die. It's one of the reasons why there's soooooo many awesome titles on the 3DS. Because there's like no piracy at all except for that hack but the people haven't released it yet because they don't want piracy.

It's too soon IMHO, all I want are emulators, and not downloaded Wii U games. Even so, people still will have to buy them in order to back them up.

Unfortunately, they're probably just saying "Screw Nintendo. Give us money for our stuff."

Or borrow. Or rent. Or buy and return.

And then everybody will stop developing good games for the WiiU, and everybody will say "it's cuz of piracy". Like no shit, you want good games? Don't support these assholes.

And there are many awesome titles on DS too. So is PS2, so is PS3, so on. Piracy hardly have impact on whether or not there will be an awesome titles.

All meaning some? I haven't heard anything about the Cobra ODE's method of game selection. And considering this is made by the same people who made the 3k3y and X360Key it's a safe bet it'll also include an external means of game selection.

Wasabi 360 was pretty bad IMO. eSata only. (Unless you buy the adapter.) As well as only software based game selection.

Cobra team and 3k3y team are two different teams. Looking at Cobra website where it says what is included in the package there has been no mentioning of selecting games via external mean.

You might wanna' learn you some history. PS1, PS2, 360, PS3, DS, Wii, GBA, etc...

My mistake. Said that a little out of context. The Wii U ODE is made by the same people who made the 3k3y and X360Key. Also what is a UI Commander?

I'm fine with that I've already had 1 game disc fuck up and had to be replaced. Having a backup on a usb drive would be a blessing, not to mention faster loading times.

Funny if somebody can get enough info to run something to get "Something" useful. Lol, like somebody said,this type of thing led to Wii U unlock? Interesting times. Marcan said March was busy but April may be option. Look it up on this site. Their choice, their work. I annoyed them enough by putting out plan "a" that did not work last I heard. F0f probably hates my guts, lmfao. Read what Marcan wrote in a thread on this site.

Moms/dads are going to buy what kids want. Eol for under powered system killed Wii. Although used Wii's are selling. Most post opinions but numbers are facts. If presented a certain way. Mom/dad and kids sell Nintendo. always have. Opening up system brings in, well, most of us, lol. People here longer have cited myths of piracy many times. If system sells well, piracy is small portion of it, and most moms/dads will still buy games. I'd argue units sold determine development.

360 was most pirated but that and Wii seemed to sell most and do the best. Slim RGH worked; people dual booted or had two systems to game online. Still bought games where most value was online;-). Point; if 10% pirate but 90% for not and 300 mill. units are out versus 100 mill of another system, which to develop for? Also market. Rich kids in momma's basement playing COD of the week on Xbox live will always work. But, Nintendo hits larger demographic. I am annoyed they stopped going for power as they could be dominant. Exclusives we all had as children with 8 bit NES and top shooters and sports? Lol, consider it;-). Nintendo did not:-(

Does anybody understand what this guy is saying?

I am not sure loading times would be faster as part of emulating an optical drive tends to mean you emulate it warts and all. You might get slightly faster seek times and maybe a fractional boost out of the deal though. That said if the wiikey team wanted to break from spec and the cable/response hardware could handle it then you might get faster load times, it would be a giant "my Wii U is hacked" sign but it is not impossible.

In "proper hacking" these types of devices tend to only be useful in
A) Avoiding burning 900 discs (more a time thing than anything else) to try some things via brute force or "try it and see" approaches. This sort of thing is quite useful in some instances and may do well in later reverse engineering too but it is likely to be of limited use here.

B) Pulling a fast one on any signing checks (if the game does an initial read for checking you give it the real file and it is happy, when it actually reads it back properly you give it a fake one). The latter was used in various capacities on the 360 (see the disc swap modded lobbies Armadillo mentioned earlier) and is kind of used to this day on the DSi and 3ds to bypass protections there (not that useful on the wii u for various reasons though mainly a complete lack of whitelisted old code to use for this). However if we have whole disc encryption going on again (and I am not sure why Nintendo would drop it) such a thing is not that useful unless you already have the relevant keys or a similar bypass to the Wii fakesigning ones.

C) Bypassing basic optical media protection. Kind of a mash up of the A) and B) really and often where Datel devices historically come in-- even hacker home burners are not up to dodging proper protections here so if someone can make a fake disc that works. In modern systems this is probably more ease of use by the time you have this though and not "use in the initial hack" so much.

They have a few more uses for ROM hacking but such things tend to crop up when the devices are already fully hacked so that is a different matter.

Must be a fake because today all the best electronic hardware is manufactured in China.

Foxconn (wiiu,ps3,ipod,ipad,kindle) manufacturer has some factories outside of China.

Wasn't it a drive mod that let them run GC homebrew which lead to the tweezer attack?

Wow, what a bunch of stuck up children. They'd have come off better saying nothing.

 

[Ziggy Zigzagoon]

High-speed USB2 interface

Unless this is due to USB 3.0 still being under growth (thus not being adopted that widely), I say otherwise.

 

[FAST6191]

Re factories in China.... unless my sarcasm detector is suffering a 2am failure there are plenty of world class electronics shops outside China and China had become something of a byword for cheap junk with poor quality control.

@hhs I very much disagree there and though fail0verflow may not share entirely the same outlook upon things that was not an unrighteous response.

@Ziggy Zigzagoon are you wondering at the lack of USB3.0? Given this is probably based off an existing design, uses existing chips on the market (plenty of generic USB2.0 grade stuff out there, not quite so much for USB3.0) and probably does not need the extra of USB3.0 (though at 22.5MB/s max it is tight).

 

[Rydian]

You know the Wii was USB 1.0 until IOS 58, which came out to everybody with... System Menu 4.3. The last system menu version.

And 2.0's label is "high speed", since it was faster than 1.0/1.1.

Until I see an actual video showing it boot up Wii U backups I am calling Bull Sh*t on this. And if by some miracle it is true my only question would be why the hell has the 3ds not been successfully hacked yet?

Wii U being hacked =/= 3DS being hacked.

Two different systems using two different encryption techniques. You cannot relate one to another.

And if you think people is doing a bad job on 3DS scene then do it yourselves.

You saying f0f are children or people twitter bombing them?
Edit: life easier with ignore button;-) Know what I am saying? Not clear cut?
