Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

You can try the python version: https://github.com/wiiudev/pyGecko

Is there a compiled version (if this is the one that is now working)?

I really wish I knew how to code so i could help out, but i feel like by the time I learned enough to be of use the scene will have already moved on.
It's not like I'm doing anything else anyway, I just wouldn't know the first place to start; I should have picked it up when i was still in high school 12 years ago...

Just start now so you can eventually help with some NX stuff.

Yes, here's the working version : http://wj44.bplaced.net/pyGecko4/

I've got an idea for those who can run TCPGecko and the corresponding debugger:
We could start making a file database for all of the popular (or also the non-popular) games, so file replacement gets a little bit easier!
Something like:

<root>
    <folder1>
        <folder1-1>
            fileA.bin
            fileB.bin
            fileC.wav
        </folder1-1>
    </folder1>
    <folder2>
        sound.brstm
    </folder2>
</root>

Afaik anyone can contribute to wiiubrew.org, so that's a possibility!
But we have to specially highlight files that are only obtainable via DLC.
(the XML-style structure was only an example. We can also take another one but have to be careful that it's one standard for every game!
Else people might get confused!
I'd help in an instant but am stuck on 5.4, so I'll participate as soon as I can!

Has the TCP Gecko dotNet source been updated at all beyond the 30th of June? I can only find Chadderz github for it. If so where, and if not, is pyGecko any more robust? I admit I haven't looked at any documentation, I'm just getting a little annoyed with the .NET errors. I can deal with them if TCP Gecko dotNet is more reliable/robust if you can get it working (which I have).

Having fun dumping Wii U, found a couple things I'm looking forward to dissecting. Hope you other's work is going well too.

You can use dantarions version(non errors).

Thanks for that, wj44!

Nope, I can go online with Splatoon since I have the 2.0.0 update, even though I'm only on 5.4.0.

So do game-specific updates affect the Wii U firmware version in any way? I need to be sure to not mess anything up severely.

Are we supposed to open the browser again before connecting to Gecko .net?

 

[Vanth88]

SO I logged in to see the exploit was released and as soon as I turned on my Wii U it was updated to 5.5.0
Pissed I was, so I blocked the Wii U from ever connecting to the internet (router).

Is 5.5.0 permanently blocked from ever running the browser exploit? or is there possibly a work around being developed?

There's a way to rn unsinged stuff on 5.5.0 already BUT only in Userland and it's not released yet

Or a game or something. I was connected in Settings a little bit ago snooping. If you exit the app, you'll have to rerun the exploit. Least I have.

I'm testing the OSDriver kernel exploit on firmware 4.0.2 and so far no luck. Is it supposed to work on this firmware too? Here are my test results:

Race Attack Failed: 5x
Freeze: 10x

 

[EclipseSin]

I'm testing the OSDriver...

#elif VER == 310
#define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL 0x0
#define KERN_CODE_READ 0x0
#define KERN_CODE_WRITE 0x0
#define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL 0x0
#define KERN_HEAP 0x0
#elif VER == 400
#define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL 0x0
#define KERN_CODE_READ 0x0
#define KERN_CODE_WRITE 0x0
#define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL 0x0
#define KERN_HEAP 0x0

If that's any indication, I'd say no.
