So I was dicking around trying to find exploitable code, had luck crashing an app if someone wants to take a look at it. Someone who knows what they're doing preferably.

So far it's like this;
Click the Button
Locks up for a while
Message pops up saying "An error has occurred. Please restart the software and try again."
Freezes on that message. I'm unable to hit OK, not hit the home button or anything. Completely frozen by the look of it.

I'm not 100% sure it's "crashed" it could just be running very slowly and will unlock in a while. I'll leave it on for a bit and keep you folks posted.

I've had weird stuff happen testing the kernel exploit too. One time, whenever I ran it, it froze for a second as it executed code, then randomly went to the pause screen and said that something had finished installing ??? it happened every single time I ran it, so I can believe that popup coming up. I'm pretty sure it's frozen though.
 
Small update, just ordered an original Nintendo Wii U 8GB Basic Pack (first ones from 2012). Comes with firmware 1.0.2 and should be here next week.
Thanks everyone! :D
Awesome news! :D

So basically what you are trying to achieve is to "port" the Webkit exploit you found on 5.3.2 to <5.1.0 FW to hopefully have a new exploit for all firmwares?
That's if you got one for 5.3.2, from the previous posts I kinda understood that. XD

Good luck!
 
no point in starting a new thread just for this. but would like to know if this would work on the wii u http://controllermax.com/ (if anybody has ever invested in one)??
Got one of these, but it won't work since you would need Bluetooth to authenticate it, and you can't connect the Wii U game-pad via usb (I think)? Works nice on the Xbox One and PS4 if you want one btw :)

You can either use usb to connect the xbox controller to the controllermax (wired), or use a ds4 with xbox via bluetooth. You need a bluetooth dongle in the usb stick to make it work with ds4 (or wired).

Ok thanks for explaining. Shame there isnt one compatable for the wii u tho. I did see another device that plugs in the wii remote but only lets the ds4 act as a wii classic pad. So i dont think its worth investing in

Np, don't waste money on it since it won't work as is, but someone could make an adapter for it: http://libdrc.org/docs/re/wifi.html

Ask on their forums maybe, see if they can do something about it.

No. Did you even read the website? This has no relevance to the topic of Wii U hacking.

I'm starting to understand why you were being mocked in fpsrussia117's sig.

Im hoping the Wii u bundle im getting has a low firmware too (as suspected) so i can help with the backporting of the WebKit exploit.

Wii u is about to be blown widebopen thanks to team f0fs work, hykem, mn1 nwp, relys and countless others :).

I may not be familiar with html5 or javascript but i can certainly help with testing :)

UPDATE: wii u has arrived <3
