Yea I see so the Wii U hackers are less determined 2012 was the first hack !! they have had plenty of time to get stuff done -_- Somebody needs to pull smea on the wii u side he would do a great job the 3ds only has been hackable for one year and they have all there exploits up and working on the latest firm and half are free you wii u people are grouchy and I dont see much motivation like with smea !!

Reasons the 3DS scene is larger than the Wii U Scene:
There have been 53.7 million 3DS units sold worldwide
There have been 10.14 million Wii U units sold worldwide

theres a browser thats hackable theres a youtube app on wii u thats hackable fine you cant do it ...
I see its so hard but smea (one person) can nail off different 3ds devices new and old and a 2ds with hacks and you guys on the wii u side cant nail off one system -_- nope I am not bothering cause I see no hope on this... and yes later down he had others to help ... but he still started it .. now I am out -_-

Goodbye, have fun learning how to program for the Wii U.

Uh....hey, don't look at me XD He had no reason (or she), to call the Wii U devs out like that. We were only trying to get him to stop the crap.

Let's try to veer away from this bantering possibly and maybe some one could just give me a word or two or 30 about my question.

I only recently saw 5.3.2 got an exploit, and only found out after I got Mario Maker and went all the way to 5.5. Sucks for me, my fault, not sure how I didn't notice. Maybe I spent too much time in the 3ds forums to take heed. Anyways, I'd like to use the codes (especially Hyrule Warriors), so I could just find a lower firmware Wii U, easily.

Here's my question. Does the Wii U handle saves and data the same way as the 3ds? Meaning there's no way I could transfer my long-ass time levelling in Hyrule Warriors without the system requiring me to update via system transfer?

And you have contributed how exactly again? There are actual people working on this you know.
Ever since launch, we have had multiple webkit exploits and a kernel exploit, a title installer and others are working on a IOSU exploit.
This isn't the Wii. Security has improved and there aren't that many people working on the least popular platform this generation.
Yet, the WiiU has seen significantly more progress than the 2 other consoles out right now.
I think what this community has achieved together despite being so small is rather great and you should show more respect to the developers that continue to show support on an arguably dead platform.

I'm fairly certain you can't transfer saves like that legitimately.

Alright, I'll take your word for it, I wouldn't be surprised. Time for the waiting game.

I read somewhere there's a "user land exploit" for 5.5. Could some one kindly explain the definition and what it grants the average Wii U user?

bugger all useful (sorry userland exploits you know we love you really).....on a side not you could probably cheat your way back to whatever level your on in hyrule warriors on a 5.3.2 console.

Ha ha, thanks for the advice! I considered it, and it would probably not take that long with the codes already available. The only cons are having to trudge through all the missions and story mode, and having to re-buy the DLC (but eh, it's only $20).

 

[Korin]

Oh btw Dibas has been working on the whole "Toggling the gamepad screen on and off with a hotkey" thing and while testing it I encountered a pretty fun bug of sorts. Somehow, accidentally, I ended up with a frame advance button.
Here's what I mean:


(BTW Dibas I assume you don't care if I share the video since it's not like this was even intended functionality)

NOTE: That actually applied to the gameplay as well, not just the cutscene

hmmmm, well you cant buy the dlc on 5.3.2, just research it and see how things develop before you make a decision

 

[I pwned U!]

Wow, someone here's being a Debby Downer.

And surprisingly, it is not you this time!

On topic:

It is nice to finally have a firmware spoofer released! Now the only problem is that online-related drama is resuming.

Apparently, when it comes to answering others' questions about who created a mod/where it came from, someone thinks that "Lyin' rocks!"

Spoiler

Yeah right, Ryan. We all know that @MrRean was the person who created that for 5.3.2 users to test.

I'm so confused. So we have a browser entrypoint for 5.4 and 5.5 now? All we need is to have someone port the 5.3.2 to the latest firmwares and we should be good?

That's what it sounds like

That will work fine for 5.4.0. But in 5.5.0 you lose the kernel exploit.

I see, I see. Well great news all around.
