Indeed, See what happened.

The topic derailled (pun intended) to PC vs consoles fanboyism :rofl2:
thats what premature threads are for, when you have a thread about something that doesnt exist (i.e not released) yet that people are waiting for it ends up as a waiting room with "offtopic" chat in it........lets just hope we dont reach page 500 lol

And i'm among those who tries to avoid "PC vs Console" as much as possible, i miss the days when computers and consoles were different, like in the 90's, i rather hear a "SNES vs Sega Genesis" over another discussion with PC involved.

Shit, I was playing console games on PC since the mid to late 90s... So, PC>All! Providing software and hardware is available.

But yea, I only wrote this cause I'm bored and this thread keeps popping tf up on some dumb stuff. Bortz, you can delete this too if you want.

Really.. ._.

What I want to know is basically how loadiine was achieved. Meaning I assume there was alot of trial and error, so im wondering if there were any big snags

I'm really debating on updating to 5.5 just to claim my copy of Windwaker, but I must be strong!!

@gamesquest1 I also agree with your WiiU/PC statement and is the only reason I still stand by Nintendo over the others. I think they know it too, that their differentiation in the games they make will keep them with it.

Ok, getting back to topic and hopefully we'll stop all that PC/console/piracy debates for now.

The information I have for now (please correct me anyone if I was wrong) :

Currently the best firmware to be on to use this Tool when it's out is 5.3.2 since this version has both public kernel and browser exploits.
When a browser exploit for 5.4.0 is public, then you can still use it on that firmware too.
However 5.5.0 is less favorable since its kernel exploit is unlikely to be released soon (unless it got patched on the next firmware).

In the first video test golden45 was using network only, so only a small sized game could be loaded (and still slowly). However now it is confirmed that golden45 has figured out a way to load files through SD. (still the rpx which is like an equivalent of .exe to launch the game, can still only be loaded through network).
Wii U can read sd cards up to 32gb, which is enough for homebrew or a limited amount of Wii U games.
Currently Marionumber1 and his team are working on IOSU exploit, which will enable us to have USB access too, meaning you can use larder HDD and mostly not depend on the network anymore (maybe just in the first time to launch the exploit).

The scene is doing good !
If you are unlucky and got your console updated to 5.5.0 then block the auto-updating now !
both browser and kernel exploits are available for 5.5.0 but they are not public yet. However there's no guarantee a later version will have any exploit.

I would recommend the author to add the stuff that are repeatedly asked about in the first post.

For those who are interested, I just found a Wii U (console only) on firmware 5.3.2 for less than 100 Euro (if you are in UK the shipping will be cheaper, so around 80 euro total)
The seller got 3 more for now :

Pawn Shops here in the US have plenty. I have a friend that runs one, and they have Wii U's & XBOX 360's for about 79$ -- in mint condition. If you are wanting a console for yourself and CAN'T find anywhere else, you can PM me.


Also I am pretty amazed at the number of people working on this, and actually working together. good shit.

This is great news! Can't benefit from it yet because I messed up something trying to block network access and allowed FW 5.5 to get installed on my system, but I'll be holding off from here on in. To everyone working on this, keep up the good work. Your efforts are most certainly appreciated, and if there's anywhere I can donate to, I'll gladly chip in a few bucks.

Might wanna wait until we get something that actually works (not saying these guys are faking it, just being careful).

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
