Hacking FInally get one now ... or wait till later ?

[Xplic1T]

Finally thinking it may be time to pull the trigger and get a Wii u only for the reason of keeping it off this latest update.

What do you guys think ?

 

[JustPingo]

Yeah, buy one, especially for that kernel exploit.

 

[Xplic1T]

I wonder if nintendo's wii u refurbs were updated ... hmmm

 

[BullyWiiPlaza]

You should wait till something is released and then buy an older Wii U off Amazon or whatever. Make sure to ask about the firmware version first.

 

[EmceeKerser]

I highly doubt that 5.4 will be on any consoles, given it came out a few days ago. Your best bet would be buying it now

 

[Xplic1T]

Refurbs from Nintendo are 200 + Tax and Shipping ... still seems like too much for me. I'm trying to get one under $175 total ... console is dieing

Latest update didn't patch any exploits, not to worry.

I thought the browser exploit was patched ?

Seems like it did patch something that could lead to native wii u homebrew.

I asked him on PM when the update came out, he said they just had to find the right ROP gadgets for 5.4.

 

[Xplic1T]

I believe they will find a way to make it work on 5.4 once this thing is fully flushed out... the question is whether or not it will get to that.

So we are actually getting one and it's not only a tease that's not going to be release?
Is it still in the development and needs a lot of time or is it something that will be released soon? (not soon™ though)

It's speculation at this point. Homebrew will be first and then loaders shortly after to follow.

I give it another year or two until something substantial is released.

Here's the response I got:

 

[Antonio Ricardo]

But he talked about kernel exploit/homebrew and still work on 5.4.0, IOSU hykem said do not update because will take time to be ready on 5.4.0 than 5.3.2 and is this people want to know...lol
Even though IOSU will provide access to piracy they need to have full control/ access to the system and create more possibilities for homebrew scene like for example full acess on the gamepad.

With potential Wii U Homebrew, is there a possibility for GC playback? I have the original Wii in a box, and don't want to keep packing and unpacking just to play Gamecube.

You can already play GameCube games on the Wii U using Nintendont.

I'd get one now. There's no telling if/when the exploits will appear for higher firmwares.

You can already do that though.

Nice thread hijack ...

I can't out of retail discs, that's what I meant.
