Hacking Mario Kart 8 Wii U Question

[Pink Gold Peach]

Does anyone know what version the Mario Kart 8 Bundle Wii U with DLC Packs come with?

The Wii U doesn't come with it pre-installed, but with a code in the box. You would use the code in the box to download it on the eshop, with the latest version.

EDIT: Oh, I read that wrong, sorry. It comes with 5.3.2.

And if I'm correct, 5.3 is hackable (Loadliine)

Yes, 5.3.2 runs the kernel exploit which Loadiine (and other hacks) needs to run.

I just purchased this version 2 days ago from EBGames, it came with 5.5.0U pre-installed.

Oh?

I also saw someone on Reddit a few days ago that got the MK8 + DLC bundle and had 5.5.0U as well. I made sure tubehax was setup during the initial setup to make sure it doesn't update. Your best bet would be track down another bundle.

Or just not hack it / wait for a 5.5 exploit

Yeah, Really the only reason i purchased mine. Wanted to get one before Nintendo patched it up. For now i got everything i need to hack the vwii, and play some emulators/gamecube/wii games.

Hmm...Thats odd, my friend got one from Walmart and it came with 5.3.2. I even installed tubehax and the exploit for him. I guess they are making them with 5.5.0 pre-installed with them now.

Right now there are 3 versions on the market, the oldest comes with 5.3.2 and the ones in store are usually v2 with 5.4. Online they sell the newest one I think which is 5.5 (atleast at walmart). Also 5.4 should be loadine v3 compatible by now. Your best bet online is to check the release date.
Mario maker bundle should also be 5.4. Other bundles are third party sellers now so consider what you want before buying.

Since December this bundle comes with 5.4.0. Mario kart is pre installed and you need to download the dlcs at eshop

compare the number on the box with the bundle you want.

Mine is
FW71343XXXX 5.5.0 Mario Kart 8 Pre-Installed

Mario Maker will surely be 5.5.0 or 5.5.1, Guarantee it.
