Hacking The Definitive Guide to Wii U Hacking

[MAVLL]

I wish the last firmware was safe to finally run some games in my wii u.

It's time to play some game al ready

 

[Finishoff]

Strike #2 (updated wiki)
FW11321XXXX
Firmware: 5.4.0

Going to take a break with the beatings. I think I'll wait for a exploit in the other firmware. Only pre-installed Mario Karts around here.

 

[leonmagnus99]

i updated SSB and its safe for now, no new WiiU FW. it only updated the game , phew !

 

[Firion Hope]

So with loadiine can you only use sd cards and not an external drive or somehow install it to the wii Us internal memory? Debating how big of an SD card I should spring for.

SD card only. No install to the Wiiu's internal memory either. I have gotten a 64gb and its plenty, but for larger games you may need to move some around. 128GB is overkill and may have compatibility issues with some cards

Thank you!

Need a quick response here:

The OP meant this Mario Kart 8 bundle http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81+XnJ6wTNL._SL1500_.jpg should be in 2.x.x-U, right?

Correct, not the one with the DLC preloaded

I use the DNS of Tubehax (107.211.140.065) but when I enter in KLOTH by Webkit of the Wii U, it say:

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

Why?

I still haven't quite figured KLOTH out yet. Do you have the red X on the download manager?

Yes, I have the "red X" on the download manager... Then? update blocked?

 

[fiveighteen]

Yeah the red X means a failed download aka being blocked. You should be fine.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm seeing several WUDs that are 17-24 GB each! New Super Luigi, Super Smash Bros., etc are huge. This would mean only 3-4 games on a 64GB SD card. Do they decompress to a smaller size or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Look up "WUD Compressor"

WUDS are like ISOS, They can and are compressed by any damn sane person.

when using the wud's with loadliin you extract the content. You should be able to stuff between 10 to 15 games on a 64GB SDcard.

A WUD is essentially just a container for files, like a ZIP (but without compression). Once you extract the files out of a WUD, they only take up a small percentage of the original space (the rest is padding, etc). There are a couple games that still take up a decent amount (check the compatibility list) but I think most people can fit the games they want on a 64GB card. Either way USB access should come with the IOSU exploit, so give it a few weeks.

A simple question: When you've downloaded part of the update, how exactly does the progress look like in download management? Is there a number percentage or does a blue bar slowly fill up across the screen?

Tubehax is so powerful, I've never seen anything at all. I'm just curious to know what it's like so I can be ready if anything.

It will look like this.

Ah I see, so that whole black bar was actually the progress bar but empty. I never seen any kind of blue in it so I'm all good.
I also noticed how the download management icon on the home menu will have a unique animation while something is downloading, so you'll know without even checking the app itself.

X means it can't download
Regular means nothing is in the download management at that moment
Glowing icon means something is downloading.

Now I have a better peace of mind knowing that I don't have to check the download management every five seconds. Trust in thy Tubehax DNS
