If that's how you feel, why ruin the online experience for others who are having fun? After all, it's just a game.

Not to hijack this thread, but my question is related to the topic. After the kernel exploit, will we be able to put custom/ported battlefields into the battle maps? I loved battle in MK64, but for whatever reason, Nintendo hasn't got battling right since that game, the biggest mistake in this game was thinking people wanted to battle on short tracks instead of arenas. If we could bring back the N64 battle arenas, I'd be so happy.

I'd say yes. Disk users will have to wait for a swapping app though like Riivolution since the file has to get replaced. DLC users might can get it working via code/cheat which manipulates the Read/write function of files ingame and points to the SD card or usb port which contains the custom file (theoretically).
 
I love cheat codes. I think it makes the game much more fun, however using it online is the worst. I cannot stand people like this because it's just not fun anymore. It's like the people who play doubles on smash 4 online and both play as mega man then spam their neutral b. It completely ruins the online experience and is the most infuriating thing to experience. Also cheating on mk8 online is a dick move as it ruins the game for 7 people. People who do this do not deserve to play online and should be banned for life.

*gets down of soap box*
 
You mean like Cafiine? That's already existed for almost a year, and I believe NWPlayer123 released its source. That being said, it has several problems and is going to be rewritten.

I'm really looking forward to something like Cafiine, since it will allow for stuff like custom tracks. It'll also help me with finding more instances of Totaka's Song in this game because I won't have to deal with the background audio because I can just overwrite the song that needs to be loaded with a silent audio clip.

Exactly, as long as it can swap properly it should be the best and fastest solution for any disk game.
 
Honestly I wouldn't worry about locking out online memory writes. Nintendo added report feature to wii u.
Heck, if it is like xbox scene then they won't cheat online very long before they get their console banned.
Just add that "***_Gecko is not intended for online use. We are not responsible for console bans and console bricks" phrase and you're all good.
You guys have enough stuff to deal with without having to write it so it can't be used online. Just let nintendo deal with these people and focus on staying 7 steps ahead....
Besides that, isn't this all in the interest of freedom? Not very free when you lock people out.
Just sayin'.

?! - That's all well and good if this was the xbox scene: MS are generally very good at banning online cheaters... Nintendo on the other hand I'm not particularly sure about... online Mario Kart Wii & DS is about as much as I've done on Nintendo hardware, and cheaters were rife on both (I'd say I got a cheater on as much as 50% of races) - Nintendo are quicker to snuff out something that's making them lose money than cheaters from what I've seen/read.
So yeah, let the gang take the extra time to add the lock outs, and if you have to moan about it, moan instead to guys like the pillock who's created this thread, it's their fault it's being added after all...;)
 
Both the DS and Wii were pretty much 100% hacked and neither had an account system so banning couldn't be done effectively.
The DS didn't even have some kind of UID so only MAC bans were possible which cheaters could just patch.
Even on the Wii which had an UID they still banned the MAC and again cheaters had codes to patch it.

Now consider the Wii U and 3DS both have account systems in place that are required for any online interaction, also both have UIDs as well.
This means they can ban whole accounts now from getting online again in addition of banning the UID and or MAC.

Can't wait for the first idiots complaining how they got banned and have "no idea" why :)
 
Wii also had SN aka Serial Number which was hidden in system files and got send to wifi servers. Therefore Nintendo had 3 things to ban = MAC, WiiID and SN. Sooner or later, applications will dump more of these files which can be edited with a simple hex editor...
 
Online hacking is harder than ever due to all the game patches changing memory addresses, a banned Nintendo network ID results in all games being banned, a possibly improved hack detection/banning system, a less convenient way of using the cheats via browser, a less developed cheating engine than on the Wii, a tinier community, everyone in the Wii U scene being tired of online hackers and finally impediments from the console exploiters should suffice well enough I guess.
 
Wow, I had no idea there were such exploits available on WiiU and only knew of Nintendont.

I have the newest firmware and understand there is a private exploit pending release, but is it possible to do *anything* with the newest firmware? I'm only looking to unlock all racers in this game because it's such a grind.

Cheers.

Wow got to love the hate, even if he was playing with a non-winning cheat. I love using shells grow as they travel and a item box randomizer since look at Mario kart 10 when I'm in 3rd or up I only get coins or bananas....that's not fun but throwing a blue shell at myself in first is
