I recently thought of the fact that you can change the way you view your browser on a Wii U. For example I can view my Wii U as a iPhone or 3DS or and Android, but can these modes be used for exploiting? Just very curious. :P

how do you change your view? i haven't played with the browser much...
he means user agent i think. but doesnt really change anything other than the browser detection index file that loads to direct you to correct exploit. even that i usually skip and just type it all in. but spoofing the user agent shouldnt enable anything unless they were hiding an android exploit

There's even a developer option on the browser options, not sure how far it's exploitable and if at all tho. Checked it too, there's not much you can do but the Wii U acts as a webserver then where you can view a website on your PC and it tells you a bit of things about the site you're currently on.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    well actually
    a new console won't do anything right now, because the games are still in development, that's why there are few games being released

    it won't make the games finish any faster

    2/3rds of launch titles for the Switch 2 will just be lazy ports of Switch games anyway.
