Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

OpenDNS failed and my Wii U auto-updated to 5.5.0

Nope. Once again...... OpenDNS relies on your networks IP address. Meaning once your network IP gets changed, that kills OpenDNS.

There are tons of things the wiiu could benefit from homebrew wise. I'm experienced enough in writing homebrew to make a few things, but currently am waiting on a more stable development env to work with before investing too much time in it. At the immediate moment, game mods take most of my interest.

Want to report a bug of sorts, tcp gecko can not connect to the console if your using the ethernet usb adaptor on wiiu but works fine using wireless with the exact same setup, any reason for this? cafiine and every other app work fine trough the usb etehrnet adpator for wiiu but not tcp gecko.

I know.
OpenDNS Updater, or whatever it's called, failed and my Wii U updated.

So, instead of listening to hundreds of posts saying not to use OpenDNS and other hundreds of posts saying to use TubeHax, you decided...eh fuck it...
You have 0 sympathy from me...

My Wii U updated before the "Use TubeHax on your Wii U instead of OpenDNS" era. A.k.a. My Wii U updated just when 5.5.0 got released, at that time, nobody was talking about TubeHax in this thread.

fair point, but we were still talking about the fail of OpenDNS and the various ways to stop it from failing.

some people also don't have access to their routers parental controls, making them unable to block from parental controls.

I'm pretty sure it's the Wii U's parental constrols, not a router.

Also, a few thoughts since it's 6AM and I can't sleep
1) If you want a WBFS equivalent that'll be sustainable, you'd be best using this. That by itself can't create new files but it's a good start and it reuses the existing format.

2) I've been poking at textures some more, I have something from a while ago that can convert GTX straight to PNG but it doesn't work with swizzling, yet. I keep trying but nothing's clicking, if you wanna try there's an issue here with more stuff. I might try zhuowei's version out later.

3) It's probably not a good time to be motivated since I'm trying to sleep but I'm also gonna try to poke at documenting some more functions, the Add-On Content library is fairly straightforward, and I wanted to try getting AX audio streaming working but it's tedious to debug with RPC or TCPGecko so I haven't done anything with it yet.

4) After the new rewrite which I still need to push, TCPGecko is basically better in every way to RPC. I need to add back the upload function to the codehandler, but

• It can obtain and call symbols (has a tcp.function to do it all in one line) and lets you specify isData for functions that need it, and it prettyprints the addresses now for easy copypaste.
• Upload should make it easy to upload data blobs like custom ROMs, only allows 0x400 bytes or 1KB per call but it's better than overloading the socket trying to poke tons of times.
• It has FS and SAVE reimplemented so it's super easy to look around in some apps (need to add a silencer variable to get_symbol so it doesn't spam all the functions it autoruns).
• It's Python so you can make scripts to automate lots of stuff like I have, and you can set up your internet connection to use a static local IP so it never changes.

Only the memory tab is implemented in the GUI since I got caught up on making it perfect, but everything should work with Python 3 and PyQt5 since I was forced to upgrade because Qt4 didn't have something I needed :<
Also, the qHexSpinBox has a weird double tick if you use the arrows and then press the update button, not sure how to fix it. I'll make a better thread explaining it all when I get it pushed (I make lots of promises, feel free to smack me if I forget).

For some very odd reason I cannot self host at all now I have tried everything and nothing works the kexploit & normal kernal just freezes up on me I have choose every option to me but nothing. I have to now rely on Wj44's site

just upload the files to a free host and use that

Has your PC's internal IP changed from a router reboot?

I dont exactly understand why you have a problem with using one of the existing services like mine or wjs, it does not seem like you write too much code on your own anyways that needs to be used on your pc directly

 

[Reecey]

@mech looks like that is what I am having to do @bache Still the same IP? @FIX94 no I don't write my own code but I don't want to rely on a web page that ,may go down sometime.

Or in my unfortunate case, your router literally lacks a "URL blacklist", so I couldn't block the URLs on my router even if I wanted to

Also, I asked a few questions a few pages back, and nobody seems to have noticed, or is it you guys really lack answers?

Also, Reecey, I think I had a similar problem. My laptop is apparently a stupid piece of shit that can't host HTML files whatsoever, but my desktop works perfectly fine -_-

...might go down sometime, yea, a dedicated server has a higher potential of having issues than using a home pc which is not made for hosting a webpage, ok then, if thats what you think

Does nobody listen about blocking MAC address? I can't block URLs either so I do my MAC address
