It was "Hacking The Wii U - A Simple Progress Guide", actually. I thought a sticky's info would be correct, that's why I was so confident in posting the statement about restoring the NAND.

I think you misread..

Is Wii Mode (vWii) hacked yet?​

Yes! But there are some issues..​



What does that mean?
What can we actually DO in vWii Mode?

Here’s a simple, easy to use list of our current progress in Hacking the Virtual Wii in the WiiU.
(Basically, most stuff works the same, with a few exceptions.)​
  • Dump the NAND? YES! (FSToolbox has been updated to work with the vWii.)
  • Restore the NAND? YES! But Be Careful!(NAND Restores are always dangerous if you don't know what you are doing, ESPECIALLY on the WiiU! Make sure you do!)

It doesn't mention dumping/restoring Wii U NAND anywhere. The " especially on the Wii U" part means with vWii instead of a regular Wii console. I know there's a guide on another website where a user said he has done it successfully (and downgraded), but AFAIK nobody has been able to repeat the process and there have been several bricked systems.

Out of curiosity, which thread? I respect all members, but there certainly are some feeble minds here haha. I just don't post info unless I'm 100% certain, or give a disclaimer with the info that I'm not certain about.

The guide said yes, though. It isn't much in my defense, but it's a sticky, I felt inclined to trust it. Maybe the guide's agreement on the questions needs to be edited to say No next time... :P

And yes, I've been too brisk as to reply like this, especially incorrectly. I'll keep double-checking for info from now on.

Update on NUSGrabberGUI... I have successfully retrieved and used the versionlists taken from Nintendo's website, and I'm coding the final button; the Download button. As soon as it's done, I'll release the program as a public beta exclusive to this thread, and after I get everyone's responses from it (and bugs are worked out), I'll make my own thread with the info and download link :) Don't worry, I'll let everyone know here when I create the thread.

Alright guys, I stayed up and worked on this just so I could give y'all a test version :) I have just barely (and I mean barely) made an ALPHA version of this program, and I don't even know if it works properly yet, but I need some testers! Anyone willing to participate can download it at the following link, but mind you, this is ALPHA.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41125193/NUSGrabber/NUSGrabberGUI.exe

Here's what you'll need to do:

1. Download my NUSGrabberGUI. (duh)
2. Take NUSGrabber (command-line version) and drop it in the root directory of where you downloaded/moved this .exe to.
3. Load the program, and "heed" warnings/messages if they come up.
4. Update your versionlists.
5. If the program doesn't automatically refresh the GUI, restart the program.
6. Search for/Click on a title
7. Select a version.
8. Hit the download button.

If you have any errors (serious ones, not ones like the popup that appears that says that the old GUI code bugged out), PM me about them, and I'll come back tomorrow morning and attempt to fix them.

EDIT: I just realised this morning that I didn't explain how the versions worked. The versions that start with a 'v' are the versions that the wiki has. If there are versions for a particular title, then that title will not have any 'v' style versions, and instead pull it's versions from the versionlist.

EDIT-2: This is outdated now. Scroll down to my next post to see the news.

@fiveighteen Your really helped me much thank you very much mate :)
hosted both on pc and android :)
Everything works.
I have a question though do you know what the DSI exception on loading a game on loaddine is?
Click to expand...
Good to hear!

DSI exception is just a kind of crash (Data Storage Interrupt). Double check the compatibility guide and, if you're using a different region game than your console, make sure that you have renamed the language folders/files if it had any (EU -> US, etc)

Kidding? Well, I *might* think so, if it weren't for him publicly posting partial keys obtained using his IOSU Exploit.

Hykem said himself it's done, but he is obfuscating it. This means that Nintendo will have a really hard time reverse-engineering/patching the exploit, so just be patient.

Hykem's words:
Also, I mentioned that my "vacations" are extended to the end of February, but that doesn't mean the exploit will only be released by then. I'm guessing it will be done quite before that, but right now it's just a matter of getting it right so Nintendo won't patch it as soon as it comes out.

By this statement you're showing that you believe it to exist, so why insult him at all? Obviously this exploit is a big deal and a very rare find, since it only needs a userland exploit to run on top of and not kernel as well. If the exploit is not obfuscated, Nintendo will have it patched and an update will go out right away. We need this to last a while.

Any idea how i start the loadiine server from my android phone?
Click to expand...
I'm pretty sure that won't be possible since it runs as an exe on PC. Maybe something similar can be made for Android though? I never really thought about that. It kind of ruins Cafiine too.
