Hacking Wii U Homebrew Preparation

[Nollog]

what is these dns?:

DNS to 198.168.0.0 DNS to 172.0.0.1.

the first would be your router usually, second is the local machine(wiiu)

you just don't want any that will resolve domain names to ip addresses.

Edit: wrong thread.

Almost feels like this question is unnecessary, but I just wanted to cover my tracks: if I block those domains to prevent the system firmware from being updated, does that mean I also cannot download game updates as well? I have a big feeling the answer is no I can't, but I just wanted to confirm while the question was still fresh in my head.

um correct
so it'll let you in any game that still needs an update
it'll tell you the server's "busy" and to try again later if done right

I have question.

I've blocked the domain names in my router.
nintendowifi.net
wii.com
shop.nintendo.net

Works fine for most, but 2 of the urls are givving an error rather than being blocked by my router.
nus.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
nus.wup.shop.nintendo.net

Is that normal?
The error is that the connection was refused when I try them in my browser.

They're not urls you can actually go to, you need authentication that only system apps use. Just block them and call it a day. Dunno why it'd fail to add them though.
try just shop.nintendowifi.net and shop.nintendo.net

Yeah that's what I thought.

I just blanket blocked the domains rather than each individual one, so "safe" (already too late anyway)

Would it be OK to buy a new WII U now (live in Germany)? I suppose it would contain Firmware 5.4? I'd like to have a new Wii U (my first one) and I could wait a little before being able to homebrew if the firmware is still a bit too new to be hacked. Would that be OK or would you not recommend it? Of course I'd block all internet access from there on out. Thanks for any advice!

Well, you wouldn't be able to run homebrew as soon as the people on 5.3.2, but 5.4 is better than 5.5, there's a good chance the Webkit exploit may come out soon for use on it, but the kernel exploit's patched on 5.5, so avoid at all costs

i buyed a used Wii U and it comes with the 5.5.0 ... so i guess im pretty fucked right?

Don't update it, there's still at least one more entry point in 5.5.0. You'll just have to wait quite a while

 

[DiscostewSM]

My system is at 5.5.0 U, but I guess it can't hurt to set up with OpenDNS and block any further updates, if there's the possibility that my system can be used for homebrew in the future.

What can I do if I'm on 5.2.0 firmware and I want to update, but not to the latest firmware? I kind of stopped playing my Wii U all together since the exploit started and since have gotten a new ISP.

Get a game that contains the 5.3.2 update (Yoshi's Wooly World, Mario Party 10, or Splatoon)

HI SO YOSHIS WOLLY world is 100% 5.3.2 firmware the uk version right ? , my wiiu is on old 3.0 firmware so i can buy that game and safely update and use the exploit ? are pirated games playable yet ?

Yes and yes

Although you may not want to update past 5.2.0 if you want to access the upcoming IOSU exploit

 

[hbk2004v1]

i think i would, this current hack is complicated btw would i still need super smash bros u for IOSU exploit is it still worth buying , but the thing is i bought yoshi wolly world and i did want to play it and i would need to be on 5.3.2 to even play that so i dont know what to do now ?

also can i run loadline on 5.2.0 ?

You can already kind of do that with injection

 

[Gonquai]

If we're already on 5.50 U, is it too late?
