Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[AboodXD]

I don't think you could because Wii games weren't programmed with GX2 in mind, and I believe GX2 has different functions to use. So even if you did get Wii games to use GX2, it wouldn't run

It's possible, but you need to emulate GX, the same way dolphin does it.

How different is OpenGL and GX2function?
How easy is it to port Dolphin video backend to GX2 function?
How easy is it to separate Dolphin video backend from the rest of Dolphin?

how would anyone know? GX2 is barely documented and thats the main issue, no one knows a whole lot about it, gx was fully documented becuase it was used on the gc and wii, while gx2 is just for the wiiu so far and no one bothered to much about documenting it yet.

Similar but maybe different functions, So far only person I know has touched GX2 much is Dimok : https://gbatemp.net/threads/downloa...ly-no-5-4-no-5-5.398623/page-139#post-5900318 He said it's very similar to OpenGL 4

They even cranked up the pixels so you can see that it's a gamepad : http://prntscr.com/9ljcb8

So that image isn't hykem a or mario1 iosU kernel exploit? Or is it?

We don't know but I think it's from Naehrwert. (And Hykem and other devs?)

 

[jammybudga777]

Not gona lie but to me it seems like it could just be a hello world that says hello iosU kernel!! But I hope it's legit

I'm 100% sure that this is legit.

I no think that one has anything to do with Hykem's work. Most possible the one naehrwert mentioned before that works up to 5.2.0 (http://prntscr.com/9ljnnl)

Seeing the names of the people who might be involved, it's safe to assume it's legit . The people that are familiar with that key that starts with "b5d8" would confirm ^^.

Maybe it's portet to higher firmwares now.

Sigh...
It's legit and probably works up to 5.5.0. Could be using the same bug I found, could be using another one. Guess my work is moot now. Congratulations @plutoo, @smealum and @naehrwert.
Should be matter of time until the keys are out and the exploit afterwards.
I'm moving on then. See ya.

No need to move on yet bro. Between all you guys you could possible have 3 different iosU exploits. Don't let it discourage you until we have definite answers.also you said about possible finding a perminant way to install?

@Hykem is the IOSU Boot Exploit that already finished before you?
You know something about this? @smealum you can answer?

 

[EclipseSin]

So, somebody who isn't you posts their progress on IOSU, and ya quit? O.o Seems childish.

There's no need to move on. They might not have the exploit for boot, and more importantly they might not release due to their anti-piracy thing. (at least smea who is for sure not involved because he doesn't even own a Wii U... But I guess he might have helped behind the scenes.) What I'm trying to say is 2 things:
1. Your work was most definitely NOT pointless, if anything you learned a lot from it and that might mean another IOSU exploit somewhere down the road on even later FWs.
2. They might have the IOSU exploit but you might still be the only one with that boot exploit you told us about a while back!

I can see how @qlutoo@smealum could own 0days, I own a 0day but not on the Wii U or 3DS, it's on a special application we use at school not that interesting even...

I have an idea release your yours before they do [emoji14]

This. Also f0f did work on the WiiU before but nothing we could use was ever released except for some hashes. The only thing this means is that people got inspired because of all the IOSU hype that you created in the first place. Don't let this get to you as I doubt we will see any kind of release from the people involved, just the usual teasing.
