Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

For the moment it only loads the application files from the sd card, not the rpx.

So in theory, emulators?

It is a step towards more homebrew if properly used for sure, or so it seems thus far. The source will be handy too if released.

golden45 figured out SD card access.

This is amazing! Cant wait to see if it will end up into a wiiflowU

Have you found a way to make SD card access work with Caffiine for file replaccement?

Unfortunately not, but for some games it could be possible, like super smash bros, because it has access to the sd card (i didn't try).

@golden45 does this mean you're able to load bigger iso files now?

The size of the rpx to load is still a problem. However using the sdcard did solve some problems I had. And the speed ... it's day and night.

I guess that will ultimately depend on the SD card capacity, does anyone know if Wii U has a limited capacity for SD cards?

Does this mean, you can load rpx only through network but at the same time still load all the files through SD ?
since you said the size of the rpx is still a problem, that means the rpx size can be big ? not like windows .exe files ?
Edit : I mean the .exe files that are only used to launch the software.

Anyway awesome job man !
I'm still stuck on 5.4.0, hopefully a browser exploit will be released soon, but the good thing is the scene is evolving for now so we will have interesting stuff to do when the exploit comes ^^.

Amazing work golden
..the SD card is the way to go ! ..

Up to 32gB.

The size of rpx I can load is independant with the capacity of the sdcard.

Yeah sure, since you said you can't load rpx on sd card, so only option now is network, but how much big can the rpx be ?
32gb is more than enough for decent homebrew. And even the biggest wii U games are around 15gb I think.

@Reecey i think most have us have xD

, I haven't.

@Marionumber1 @NWPlayer123 IOSU access=USB access, right? What about SD access?

I had never heard of him but surely its just a joke, I did find it very funny when I first bumped into it and at the end of the rant of the wiiu he says"I will still buy one" ha ha. I had to post it up it was funny, I thought others would of found it amusing too!

 

[golden45]

but how much big can the rpx be ?

Not enough =)

@AboodXD @gbatemp.net

Just thought I would mention as well you guys will love what Aboods doing to NSMBURemix, he really is putting a lot of hard effort into this game! I have to give him his dues respect on this.

 

[oumoumad]

Not enough =)

I'm confused, what do you mean by not enough ? you're saying network is not enough for rpx ? since you can't use SD for that now.
And with IOSU access I suppose you won't need network anymore even for rpx ?

 

[FR0ZN]

How come you can access the SD card w/o IOSU access ??
Can the browser write to it?

 

[AboodXD]

Because, it doesn't need so far, so obvious.

But that's what I'd like to know.
Does that mean, if one would exploit a program / game which can read / write to the a USB storage (if something like that exists on the Wii U), we would gain USB access w/o exploiting IOSU ?

I think since he said he can only load the game files and not rpx from SD card :

For the moment it only loads the application files from the sd card, not the rpx.

Shows that he doesn't have the full access to SD card, but only limited access.
We still gonna need IOSU for full access I think.

I know this may not be the right place or the right way to ask, but I have a "feature suggestion". Would it be possible to turn off the Wii U Tablet's screen and have it stay dark until a specific combination of buttons was pressed to turn it back on? I really don't like the tablet's screen being on while I play games that have no use for it. Especially since the battery already drains so fast.
