Does anything allow the Wii U to be region free yet? I want the new Fatal Frame on disc but it's eShop only in the USA. If there's a region free hack I would import the UK special edition of the game.
Not at the moment, you could with loadiine but you'd need to dump the files first and it won't load the disk :\

SET CAFE_ROOT=<path to SDK root>

Type that with the right directory and hit enter. Don't need Cygwin for makerpl

You can set cafe_root as a path in windows environment settings too

Yes, after setting correctly CAFE_OS environment you can use makerpl from dos command line; be aware that there are 2 couple of makerple (32 and 64) one inside \tool and the other one inside \tool\makerpl; the 1st couple IS NOT the real makerpl, but only a redirect to the ones present inside \tool\makerpl.

This is true @MN1 @FIX94 @NWPlayer123 @Hykem

naehrwert ‏@naehrwert 3h3 hours ago

If your Wii U is still on firmware version < 5.2.0 and you want 'easy' IOSU hax in the future: don't update.

https://twitter.com/naehrwert

Yes it is. It's a flaw that naehrwert is attempting to exploit. We've been discussing it for the past few hours.
Nonetheless, it's a IOSU userland flaw only at the moment. It should be more relevant if it's possible to attack the kernel with it.

The flaw itself was patched after 5.2.0, so, the general rule applies, if you're on a low firmware already, don't update. If you have already updated then don't worry about it.
You're not missing out anything if you updated your console, this is just a warning for those who still are on a low firmware version. By not updating you will have access to more attack vectors in the future.
The plan is still to provide a full exploit that works up to the latest firmware (that means IOSU userland and kernel access up to 5.5.0).

is there anything useful that ISOU userland code exec would add to what is available with the public kernel level code execution methods ? (other than being a potential gateway(tm) to ISOU kernel)

and people wonder why I am staying on 3.1.0 and porting all the apps down to it...
inb4 for some obscure reason, an ISO exploit get's released out of nowhere, compatible up to 3.0.0 XD
BTW, thank you for all the work you put into the public Wii U homebrew scene, much apreciated (this goes for every dev who contributed to Wii U homebrew in any way, shape or form as well :P )

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
