@soneek You have any info on a program which allows to convert brsfm files to IDSP files which then can be injected into a nus3bank?

It probably doesn't affect people on 5.5 and below, but for future updates to the Wii U, you guys (meaning the Wii U scene) might want to be on the lookout: on the 3DS, Nintendo added a remote killswitch of sorts to the web browser on firmwares 9.9 and up. It phones home when you connect to a URL, asking if the browser is up to date, and refuses to let you use the browser from then on if it's not, until the entire system is updated.

With all of that, it would make sense to release any Wii U 5.5 hacks asap otherwise everyone's going to get screwed when they find they were updated to 5.6 even with Tubehax and router blocks.

Well, my intention wasn't to create a panic here, just a warning that if it's happening on the 3DS, it could easily happen on the Wii U too.

I agree with you, it's pretty much a given.

You're welcome.

If nothing else, add cbvc.cdn.nintendo.net to your guys' list of blocked URLs.

Thanks great post. I did not check 3DS forums of recent date.
My 3DS was saved.&WiiU future?

Well, I can't promise Nintendo will use that exact URL for the Wii U if and when they add this "feature" to the browser, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

@NWPlayer123 TexHaxU doesn't want to work at all.
Can you make a more detailed tutorial? The command line isn't working.

Thanks for the info. We should be safe from that considering TubeHax DNS now covers
cbvc.cdn.nintendo.net (according to your linked post). Do you happen to know all of the URLs that TubeHax DNScovers?

TexHaxU definitely works.

TexHaxU? Did I miss something?

@NWPlayer123 I got this error:

Texture Hax Script by NWPlayer123

Usage: hax.py file.dds file.bfres minmip texpos
minmip is minimum mipmap size(IE, generate until dimensions <= NxN)
texpos is texture position in BFRES

Hmm... I'm using Python 3.4.3.

They didn't release a FW update... Just trying to block access to hacks.
