i wonder for those that have no opendns blocker and just have wii u connections detected will it be possible to acess the hack without updating? since the wii u now tries to update as soon as you connect the internet cable.

Disabling downloads as soon the console is booted might work, but only for the time it is turned On.

network connection ≠ internet connection.

@Marionumber1: sorry but is this the browser exploit or the kernel exploit?

Thanks by the way for your efforts.

This is just the browser. If it were the kernel exploit, I would have done something cooler.

Yet people here are expecting something big from the web exploit. Hence why some got mad XD

web exploit is the entrypoint. what mario did is a simple hello world in 5.3.2. I'm pretty sure more is coming.

@Marionumber1 <-------- you should PM me. Been trying to find a way to contact you.


Anyone know what the update files look like? naming convention. I am guessing if its as simple as getting to take a Update from the SD, then there has to be a way to trick it to take it, but it may require a mod to the FW.

But does anyone know how they name updates? is it several files packed in a zip? is it a single *.bin, what is the naming of the *.bin?

Any input would be appreciated.

Yeah but just something basic homebrew.

We can't yet run C code, I'm literally working on that as I write this.

 

[YugamiSekai]

Woah homebrew will be so much better on Wii U than Wii. With all the new RAM and storage space, we could literally make our own engine like Wire3D for Wii and make cinematics in-game. Homebrew is awesome.

There are a few examples in the SDK if you want to cheat.

Did anyone try to use it with win32diskimager? There shouldn't be any risk, right? :o

 

[nastys]

I think we should focus on backing up the NAND before trying to downgrade using untested crafted or leaked recoveries, so that it would be possible to restore the NAND if something goes wrong...

This is pointless to try since devkits have their own set of keys, though there is no risk since it will only installed correctly signed and encrypted content.

You can block WAN access in your router, host the exploit locally.
