ChronoX_ is not the dev we are looking for, for that answer. If it is working then Mr Rean is either yanking chains or keeping it private for obvious reasons. The obvious reason is that 5.5 is the most recent firmware and releasing it now gives Nintendo time to reverse it and patch it for 5.6.

As for the rest of the info you need, it IS in the stickies and other threads in this forum - http://gbatemp.net/forums/wii-u-hacking-homebrew.248/
I never understood the 'waiting for fw that could patch it' shit. We never used to do that in my day. They can patch anything at any time. Its up to people to know updating is dangerous to hacks. Now you have people that just want to update for no real reason, and always asking if they should. We never did that either. :teach:

You mean everything? Loadiine, gecko etc?
originally only the browser got changed from 5.3.2 to 5.4.0 so anything that was made for 5.3.2 can work out of the box ;).

kishan explained it well :

Okay, so we have (hopefully) established that the reason the private exploits aren't release is because Nintendo will patch them. I hope you've got that part clear and are just asking "Why?" this is the case.

It's not greed, it's a bigger picture sort of thing.

Imagine you're trying to break a lock. You don't know what the inside of the lock looks like and it's a new kind of lock never seen before. You have a lockpick and you start poking through the keyhole. You poke and poke and poke and if you're lucky, you'll get inside but really you're just poking random bits and hoping that something happens. Nothing happens. You poke for days and days and days and days and eventually something clicks. Now you can open the lock! NOW you can see inside the lock. You can see the mechanism clearly and understand how it works.

But here's the thing. If you tell your friends how you did this, the people who make the lock will eventually fix the problem that let you break into it.

So you get a new lock. You begin the poking process again, literally stabbing into the dark and hoping that something clicks.

ALTERNATIVELY, you don't tell your friends how you got in. Instead, you look inside the lock for a different way to get in and tell them about THAT, but keep your original method private. Lock manufacturer then releases a new lock, fixing the issue you told your friends about - but you can still break the lock, you can still open it and easily look for new ways in. You're not doing it blind, you've already got an idea of what you're doing. That's why they keep these private.

But how can I get everything running. I'm sorry I'm a little noob and need help. My console is on 5.4.0 and I been waiting for this a long time

Can't help you there, never ran anything myself since I'm stuck waiting on 5.5.0. The Definitive Guide to Wii U Hacking sticky thread should have all the info you need.

Could you test if this works for you: jasper.debug-it.nl/wiiu/browserhax_fright_tx3g_wiiu.php?sysver=540
Should display hello world on your TV... Hope it works, not useful ofc but poc.

True, but if your friends always buy new shiny locks to put on their possible homebrew access and expect them to be as weak, well, theyre stupid.

Besides, nintendo is well aware of this vulnerability, I promise.

Thanks. I'll give it shot. But I need to be online right? With tube hax enabled?

Guys, isn't this going too far ? Not because of the death jokes, etc. But because:

- The lack of confidence on Hykem.
- The beggar attitude and the heavyness. This may add pressure or make him a bit angry, not a good idea.

I don't think this is respectful.

Well mine was a joke, and I would like the IOSU exploit but if he doesn't release for me it would be a slight dissapointment, but I in no way feel entitled to the exploit and in the end it's his decision.

TL;DR: Hope he releases, but if he doesn't it's his choose not ours.

I don't think hykem is petty enough to care if a bunch of kids are making jokes in a forum. If any dev says they stopped work because of end users being annoying, they're lying. They just couldn't do it and blaming everyone else is a cop out. Hackers do it for personal achievement and to be underground 'heroes'.

A patch is always urgently triggered after the vulnurability is public. Even if they know about it.

The devs here have been more than reasonable, they could have done like Fail0verFlow and refuse to release everything completely. But instead they gave 4 clear conditions :
The release will happen if :

- The exploit gets patched on a newer version
- They find another exploit
- There is a very high demand in the homebrew community, meaning there are more people who are willing to contribute and make/port homebrew.
- They find some kind of an emunand based solution or a better way to solve firmware updating problem.

How more reasonable you expect more than that? unless you're just so selfish you want the release to happen just because you wanna play with something on your firmware version now ^^.

Bad luck, i'm not at my house so i don't have access to wifi now. I'm using dada from my phone right now. :(

Also i made a new thread for 5.4.0 and 5.5.0 so we can write our progress there and have everything in one place. So people don't get confused and keep the orther threads as clean as possible. Also it is very tiring to read 3 or 4 threads together. I can't keep up.

I don't even have a wiiu. So you can halt your entitlement arguement before it gets any further.

The scene was different before. But back then one exploit meant cracking the device open forever. Nowa days, you need to trigger an exploit every time you want unsigned code. For that reason I can see waiting. But I still firmly believe people should know better then to update if they want homebrew. It's in the book.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
