[Rumor] WiikeÜ ?

[Ericthegreat]

Someone from gbatemp should ask them for a vid

My two cents: It's sad to see that the WiiU is now the thing to pick on instead of the Vita. "Omg gais it haz nu geams."

*Staff edit*
We have a post on the frontpage but we might as well note it here as well

*This will NOT allow homebrew, emulators, unpurchased games/DLC from the online shop, games from another region, custom menus/dashboards or hacked games to function owing to the way it works. With a further hack it might happen but that would be a further hack and not this.

*In all probability online activities will still function with this device. Cheating will probably not happen directly with this/because of this device.

*How easily Nintendo can block it depends upon how well Nintendo have secured their system and to a lesser extent how well the Wiikey team have made the device; read the main pitfalls are fairly obvious and have been tackled on other systems that use similar techniques and the device is a full linux system with programmable chips so basically the ball is in Nintendo's court. What happens with new games and updates to games is a different matter again and less clear cut.

May I ask how you guys know this I mean it is most likely but have they told you guys any of this?

It's all just common knowledge of how ODEs work...

If this is the decrypted header of a WiiU disc, WUP-P-ARPP-00-101EUR-2 (NSMBU) according to http://pastie.org/7751090 obviously they have dumping capability too straight to HD ?? and we will more than likely see releases soon, once they team up with with their friends KALISTO/ECHELON/FAIRLIGHT/DUPLEX/COMPLEX - whatever they want to call themselves - probably WIIPLEX or UPLEX for the new scene, should know once we see new section on pre sites

"Nintendo is aware that a hacking group claims to have compromised Wii U security. However, we have no reports of illegal Wii U games nor unauthorized applications playable on the system while in Wii U mode. Nintendo continuously monitors all threats to its products' security and will use technology and will take the necessary legal steps to prevent the facilitation of piracy."

So Nintendo are watching this thread and probably recording everyones names that said they will get one then watch their accounts on the WiiU...

And they say they will do everything legally to stop piracy. How about instead of doing it legally they fix their product? Wouldn't that stop it better if they added better security to it instead of suing the creators of the WiiiKeyU?
The 3DS has anti-piracy measures in it that work. Why didn't they copy those over to the WiiU instead of just adding a screen to the controller of the Wii without updating the security? If they want to go the stupid way of suing everyone instead of fixing their product then they will just be wasting money and help the WiiU to fail a bit more than it already is.

And I agree to a commend above (On the first page I think) How can you worry about piracy for a console with no games? I got all 5 games for it that are any good. Now waiting for the next 1 or 2 to get made so I another game. I hope it gets more good games this year as so far its lame. And if Nintendo are going to sue everyone I WILL get a WiiKeyU.

Well, they said they would use technology and legal means. They hope to be able to fix it ... but to make up for everyone suing THEM for copyright and patent stuff, suing the Wii Key people for all they're worth is a nice added bonus. I doubt they'd sue everyone who buys one but they can probably find someone to go after.

Unless they are in china and copyright laws do not matter. (prob a good chance)

The 3DS has anti-piracy measures in it that work. Why didn't they copy those over to the WiiU instead of just adding a screen to the controller of the Wii without updating the security?

1 - The 3DS is using a custom storage medium, not optical discs. This adds a few extra levels that need to be figured out.

2 - The Wii U has a drive/reading mechanism that's separate from the motherboard, this means communication can potentially be disrupted by sticking something else along the cable, as has been done for years. The 3DS's reader is right on the motherboard. As was the SNES's reader. As was the N64's. Ever wonder why you don't see drive chips for those systems? Because shit don't work that way. They had to rely on hardware emulation of the reader itself instead of sticking something between the reader and motherboard, which means many more expensive parts and development.

3 - The 3DS is using an SoC, which means far less is visible to normal users. There is a movement to decap and scan the chips so people can see what they are and how they work, but so far the $2,000 to perform the procedure has not been gathered (I think it was like $1,200 so far last I looked). The Wii U, on the other hand, is using the same sort of stuff as the Wii because it needs to do that to be backwards compatible with Wii stuff (as cheap as they can).

Personally I'd prefer it if they had nixed backwards-compatibility to go with a new setup, but them's the breaks.

Anyone try emailing them and get a responce?

So here is a wii u disassembly to look at for fun

 

[SushiKing]

if this is hacked already why hasn't it came out to public yet?

 

[Prior22]

And watch third party support plummet stay where it is.

Big deal. Nintendo's third party support has been second rate since the N64 era. As long as Nintendo has their core franchises to rely on, as well as their spinoffs, they will survive just fine.

What do you think this thread is about?
