Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

Smash stack will almost surely be patched out if Brawl is re-released like that.

Yeah, but even still, I doubt Brawl will get re-released like this, at least in a realistic time scale.

You're probably right. However, if we can find a way to exploit this new vWii wrapper thingy, to use the gamepad for "vWii" homebrew, that would be epic

 

[PhyChris]

It is a big deal if we can somehow use that wrapper to play emulators and other Wii titles using gamepad controls!

this is already possible to a certain extent. the wiiu gamepad wireless communication has been back-engineered and a PC has been used to fully communicate and stream content. it would be WAY easier (at this point) to use a PC with an emulator and custom streaming software for what you mentioned.... (for now)

Just found this out... SMG2 digital download uses the same saved files if you had already played it from a Wii disc version. You continue where you left off. So that means it's most definitely being played in vWii mode for sure!

Do the eshop games use the gamepad?

o,O that just makes me all the more curious to see how it works.

K, NWP, if they use the gamepad, are they being played in vWii mode?

I honestly have no idea. I'd assume it's just doing some fancy trickery to make the hardware act like a Wii, it may be a modified Cafe2Wii, or it might be a rewrite/simplified version that, for example, switches the NAND it's using to access save data, or when installing it copies it to the eMMC, I really have no idea.

Okay. I just specifically remember having devs tell us that, no, we can't use the gamepad in vWii because that requires a new IOS to be written.

 

[crediar]

Actually they have something called WFS that was already used for Dragon Quest X (Japan only) which run from a HDD: http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/IOS59
It's probably using that.

 

[FPSRussi4]

Why didn't we use that from the beginning then, to use the gamepad on vWii?

Is your vWii softmodded? And if yes, were there any issues in purchasing/playing SMG2 from eShop?

 

[laudern]

I don't know about anyone else but during the middle of this year, maybe towards September, I'm going to start rebuying the wii u games I sold off in anticipation of a wii u hack. If after 2 1/2 nearly 3 years a hack has not been found, I very much doubt one ever will be.

And is it just me living in Australia, but has anyone else noticed the sharp increase in prices for used wii u games?

 

[naxil]

Sorry but... vwii is already on vpad but need wiimote right?

So, uh. Excuse me for annoying you, but you mean the "play from downloads" part, not the "use the GamePad buttons" part, correct?

Yes and it seems a lot of people seemed to have misread that SMG2 would be playable with the Pro or Gamepad, SMG2 supports NEITHER!

You can see the supported controls at the store page which only lists Wiimote+Nunchuck.

"If a Wii game supported the Classic Controller, you'll be able to control it with the GamePad."

 

[Kurausukun]

Is crediar's discu program publicly available? Just wondering since we now have the common key, I'd like to be able to decrypt the ISO rips.

 

[gitkua]

crediar; what tool do you use to download from NUS? NusDownloader seems to not work for WiiU titles. Is there a mod?

 

[FPSRussi4]

Cheers to Crediar to clarifying.
