I heard about this on a Discord chat (to be more precise, the /r/splatoon Discord chat) a bit ago and ever since I've been hyped for it.

I'm not quite fully updated on it though, and I'd appreciate some info on what steps I should to take to make sure I:

A. Don't lose 5.5.0
B. FULLY block updates
C. Still be able to play online (I play Splatoon a lot)
and D. Get anything needed for the exploit

I have OpenDNS currently blocking the following:

I plan on setting up CCProxy at some point -- but I'd enjoy a TXT filter that doesn't block multiplayer, and, if possible, eShop. I say if possible, because I'm unsure if eShop is able to push out sys updates (even though that sounds stupid).

Please inform me on what I can do to help with the above steps listed -- do I need a SD card or USB device/are they supported, do I need a game, etc. etc., and things I should change to what I'm going to do/have already done.

As a Wiibrew lover, this is something I've been waiting for a long time. Thanks a lot if you can help me, I'm really hyped for this even if it gets delayed.

just as a note:

the 107.211.140.065 DNS is the "Tubehax" DNS which blocks the update servers as well.

it also has the side effect of blocking YouTube (since it was an exploit for the YouTube 3DS app), so if you use YouTube on the Wii U like me, then you might want to try something else (like blocking domains at your router).

Well, if you're paranoid (like me), you should also...
  • Turn off Automatic Software Downloads
  • Turn off Standby Functions
  • Delete all internet connections
  • Reenter yours using Manual Setup

I'm very paranoid. Thank you.

I've used Tubehax before (until my 3DS updated orz), but it doesn't really matter for me. I have a Apple TV so I mainly just watch stuff on there lol

I just disconnect my wiiu from internet and I will host the exploit in my android. We dont know all the server adresses and something like the 3DS browserhax patch might happen

If you're even more paranoid than me, you could write one more character to the SSID on the Wii U when not playing online. And disconnect your Wii U from power.

yeah but after a lot of browsers got soft-bricked thanks to the infamous Nintendo patch. Maybe Nintendo has another update server, one that TubeHax doesn't have again.

2 things to do:
a. Disconnect your WiiU from the internet.
b. Don't buy WiiU physical disks. Nintendo has Trojans inside their disk.

...things are not working like you are thinking, you are forcing DNS therefore you will not connect to nintendos servers but youtubes. you only would have a problem youtube starts hosting nintendos updates.

Should I consider updating to 5.5.0 if I'm on 5.4.0 currently? 5.5.0 seems to be current firmware, so OTA update won't get me into trouble?!


iCEQB: good point, thank you.

Stay on the lowest possible FW...even if the exploit works on the latest FW.
God knows what might come up once a release is near.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
