Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[TotalInsanity4]

In 5 years school kids will learn programming as part of the syllabus, so it may be impressive now, but it'll be the norm soon.

In my high school engineering class, it is required that we learn a modified version of C (RobotC) so that we can actually build and run hardware. Times are in fact changing

The people working on this stuff are free to do what they want with it. If they want to make piracy difficult then they have the right to do so.

Just be greatful that people are in fact working on hacking the Wii U at all.

This is all being done in peoples free time and nobody is getting paid for any of this.

Piracy exploits are inevitable no matter what, but some of the people here are pro piracy while others are against it. Its up to the developers to decide whether or not they want to make piracy difficult.

Lets just be glad that this is being worked on at all .

Keep calm and hack the Wii U

Hopefully it's open source so if there are any limitations we can remove them

No open source. Open source exploits are bad, because then Nintendo can patch it as soon as it's released. That's the whole point of obfuscating it.

That actually makes sense. Carry on .

With the school systems today.... probably not. I mean they might start teaching HTML at Grade 7 at this rate. Schools (in my area at least) are starting to teach less and less 'new' things each year, it's over half way through the school year here and I've learned *very* few new things. Now I am fairly smart but still, I could basically drop out of the rest of this year and wait till Grade 9 and not really be missing anything. Now I'm sure high-schools will teach parts of programming, if not having full courses on it, but I don't see them doing anything programming related below grade 6 for a good 10 years. Of course the US is very different from Canada and I'm just stating my personal experiences here.

Note that once it is patched, we'll probably release the source for others to learn from, but until then it should be kept a secret for the reasons mentioned.

Don't drop out, friend, especially not at the Middle/High School level. It may not seem like it, but these years are probably some of the most crucial in your pre-adult educational career

i dont think he meant that he was literally going to drop out lol

Lol I figured, but just general advice

I don't plan to drop out, don't want to either. I'd be mad as heck if my parents forced my to quit/drop out. I'm trying to illustrate my point. We should probably take this discussion elsewhere though.

 

[FPSRussi4]

Looking at this thread's super depressing, like all these people aren't even adults and yet they're doing things the rest of us can't comprehend.

Good on you guys. And thanks for making us look bad.

Now to drown my sorrows in vodka...oh wait, you can probably find a way to get that too. Government machines probably use PPC.

 

[cutterjohn]

Well idk, it just sounded a bit odd that a 15 year old was using PPC assembly (I think??) to hack a console made by a multi-billion dollar company. That's really freaking impressive.

back in the day assembly came first(not for me though I was subjected to BASIC first), but much like engineering programming is as much of an art as a science, something which most large corporations seem to have lost sight of, but I digress.

Either way I'm short on cash ATM from buying a bunch of hardware(mostly recent console hacking kick and just getting the basics), plus for more fun I've got some intel hw showing up tomorrow so it will be time to break out the oculus again and try out some new input methods.

As a programmer myself, I said the same thing many times. Programming is an art. No two painters paint the same and no two programmers code the same.

If thats true, than I guess I'm a paint by numbers kinda guy.

Ironically, Im a professional painter by trade AND a hobbyist programmer

just like a math equation there are many ways to get to the correct answer

 

[jammybudga777]

im guessin nothing worthy could come of this but was just wondering if anyone else noticed you could use your save file from original wii on the wii u version of mario galaxy 2? ttp://www.nintendofuse.com/2015/01/19/super-mario-galaxy-2-save-file-works-for-wii-u-version/

 

[FusionGamer]

Do what I did: Finish High-school but skip College and focus on programming. Hell, for those of you who haven't finished middle school yet, I'd recommend convincing your parents to sign you up at Keystone for High School. It's an amazing school, I "went" there myself and that's what enabled me to start programming with VB.NET. You have a year (full credit), or a half year (half credit) to finish a course, and it's "work at your own pace". The only course I don't recommend is the VB.NET & Java. That's the only course I had to drop. Bad examples, examples don't use a IDE, among other things.

Now I'm using B4A, B4J, and B4i and I'm looking to release my first app this month. I seriously believe that this wouldn't be possible if I went to "normal" High school and had to deal with all the drama that comes with it.

 

[Hykem]

Thanks for the reply. You answered my questions and took me up on my offer, I'm a man of my word.

Thank you so much! George (the admin of jpcsp.org) already confirmed the transfer.
