Hacking The Definitive Guide to Wii U Hacking

[xxmasal22xx]

An exploit that will allow us open access to hacking the Wii U; USB loaders, etc. (see: Wii)

So basically everything we can do with the wii?

I believe it will be possible, if there are devs willing to create the homebrew once the Exploit is released.

what language will it have to be coded in? id like to be able to help out but all i know is a small amount of java and even smaller amount of python

IIRC, its more like C/C++. You can find the SDK on some websites online. And look at the IOSU Syscalls table link that I posted a couple posts ago.

LOL IIRC= If I Remember Correctly

I think that, is the same if i buy wii u basic (8gb) or premium pack (32gb)?

 

[fiveighteen]

Both

There are no differences besides the color and hard drive capacity.

it possible, after spoof, update games on sd with nusgrabber?

I'm just hoping there's no "required" game you have to find/buy like the 3DS hacking shenanigans. (Cubic Ninja / Ocarina of Time scalper overload)

EDIT: wait, disc games or Loadiine games?
Loadiine: just replace the files on your SD with the updated files from NUSGrabber.
Disc games: put the update files from NUSGrabber on your SD card and run WUP Installer.
You don't even need to spoof to do either of those though, unless you're running a disc game above 5.3.2.

I don't see why there would be this time around. The only reason we needed Smash so far is because it got us SD access and a large RPX to inject into, but now golden45 and dimok have gotten us around that limit with Mii Maker having access to SD as well and moving memory locations. I can always be wrong, but here's to hoping

This might be answered somewhere but I can't find it. Is the only way to improve load times a new sd card? or did load times improve with each release of loadiine? (I could only get 1.0 to work probably something wrong with my file arangement)

File arrangement has changed since 1.0. I have examples of both in the OP so you can see how it needs to be changed.

Load times have definitely improved (I think the speed boost was in 2.0, but carried into 3.0). I don't think load times are going to get much better in the future than they are now though. A higher class SD card will also obviously increase write/read speed times.

 

[Planterror]

Thanks!

From a user's perspective: same as what's in the OP under "Should I update my Wii U?"
From a technical perspective: Hykem (and others?) are continuously documenting IOSU Syscalls at http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/IOSU_Syscalls, which will be necessary to use any hacks with an IOSU Exploit.

That's awesome!!!! Can't thank you enough for all your work and of course the devs! Btw when I bought my wii u it was on a super low firm ware should I have did something in order to be able to downgrade in the future? Perhaps for a different hack? Just asking for a friend

No problem! No downgrade option that we know of yet. Only options are to stay under 5.2.0 if you want an "easy" IOSU Exploit, or go to 5.3.2 for hacks and an eventual, possibly harder-to-do IOSU Exploit.

OP Updated:

Added URLs to block list:

• nus.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
• nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
• nus.cdn.shop.wii.com
• nus.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net

I also highly recommend you change your DNS settings to the following:

Primary DNS: 107.211.140.065 (TubeHax DNS)
Secondary DNS: 198.91.88.237 (nallar's DNS)

Note: nallar's DNS will change in January 2016
​

To check if your router is properly blocking the URLs, use this website, and then:
Domain: <copy/paste one of the URLs>
Server: localhost
Query: A (IPv4 address)

To check if TubeHax DNS is properly blocking the URLs:
Domain: <copy/paste one of the URLs>

To check if nallar's DNS is properly blocking the URLs:
Domain: <copy/paste one of the URLs>
Server: 198.91.88.237

If you get something like the following, you know it's working (127.0.0.1 is a loopback address to your computer):

Name: cbvc.cdn.nintendo.net
Address: 127.0.0.1

If you get something like the following, you know it's not working:

DNS server handling your query: localhost
DNS server's address: 127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
nus.cdn.shop.wii.com canonical name = nus.cdn.shop.wii.com.cdngc.net.
Name: nus.cdn.shop.wii.com.cdngc.net
Address: 174.35.71.7
Name: nus.cdn.shop.wii.com.cdngc.net
Address: 174.35.71.8

If you get something like the following, I have no idea what it means for blocking:

;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

still quite worried, pm me where you are and I can do a drive down for ya - I'll be in QLD next week or the week after if your up there...

Sorry didn't read this, thanks for the offer too kind! I live in Sydney so not possible for me. Spotted YWW on sale now new for $49 at Big W but risk that it comes with a different update so sticking with the eBay.

i dont think this will be so hard getting a used one with that fw...

BUT i can remember if u want to change nintendo network data u had to refurbish the wii u...?
so what do i do when it has old nintedo network login files inside?
