Hacking Hykem's 5.5 iosu Exploit

[Chuardo]

Thought so. I wonder how many people don't know this and are hype to get loadiine and things like that before February. Let's hope none.

Well, that's actually pretty obvious, I guess that everyone knows that when the IOSU Exploit arrives we won't have anything, maybe we can use some Kernel Homebrews like in 4 days or 1-2 weeks.
It's like getting sad because you bought a Console and doesn't have games when you buy it on day 1, it's just obvious lol

Where did people getting IOSU exploit will be released before February from? Is this latest news from Hykem somewhere or just based on past statement? Seem to be another way of hype today, which I can't understand where it came from.

With IOSU exploit, will the homebrew developers have to rewrite most code of the app or just port like kexploit? Excuse me for my noobness. I think porting means less rewriting code. Not sure whether it's correct.

One of hykem's recentish posts stated that his "vacations" had been extended through the end of February and he has repeatedly said that he wants to have everything out in time for him to be able to provide support for it for a few weeks while he has the time.

In reality, nothing specific was stated in regards to a release window other than "sometime before the end of February" and "most of the work is done".

Thanks for clarifying.

IOSU of Wii U would also cover the Wii part of the Wii U, right? I meant like with 3DS when we back up 3DS NAND, the DS part also can be back up (correct me if am wrong).

I completely in the dark regarding Wii U. Never modded or used it.

The Wii part (vWii) is already effectively as hacked as the Wii itself. There are a few things that either can't be done or are harder to accomplish due to the nature of the vWii-mode itself, but for all intents and purposes anything that you could do to a Wii can be done to the Wii mode of a Wii U console.

No idea if you own a Vita or are in any way familiar with the hacks available for one, but its pretty much the same as the PSP mode of a Vita.

Yeah that isnt a thing. There is no 'DS' component to the 3DS OS

Well... kinda.
If you go to "Download Mode" and choose to play a DS Game you will get the same UI of the DS Fat/DS Lite, that probably doesn't count anyway.

Yeah its not a seperate NAND, so its not like vwii vs Wiiu

I don't have technical background so with 3DSm, the DS part like you said is within 3DS NAND(?) While with Wii U you have to back up 2 different NANDs (vwii and WiiU)?

I maybe mistaken, but didn't someone here on this section was talking about the ability to launch Wii from within Wii U IOSU? Is that possible and how if they are 2 separate NANDs?

 

[Insidious611]

The DS has a small amount (about 256KB) of internal Flash memory used for storing things like e.g. Nintendo WFC settings, system nickname, and the like. This is presumably just emulated at a high level by the 3DS in DS mode, instead of it actually having even a section of its NAND dedicated to an exact replica of the DS's NAND.

Basically, effectively the DS didn't use its NAND flash for storing anything important anyway, so talking about an "emunand" type thing for the DS is a pointless endeavor.

Are you talking about the wii game wrappers that launch from the wii u? Because it basically just installs a wii game and runs it in wii mode, from the wii u menu

And just because the nands are seperate, doesnt mean there cant be interaction between the two

Going by this info. Staying on 4.0.3 seems a waste of time so I may just update to 5.3.2.

"If you accidentally updated to 5.5.1, it appears that Yellows8's .mp4 exploit has NOT been patched (confirmed by Crediar)."

I had a friend update to 5.5.1 to play Smash, what does this mean exactly? How fucked am I?

from 5.5.0? not at all.

You aren't fucked (if girl, well, u are fucked :x). Wait for IOSU.

Yes from 5.0, thanks guys. I wasn't sure if the quote in the OP meant that Hykem's exploit wont work but a different exploit being worked on will.

IOSU will allow for pretty much everything to be done, so there's nothing to worry about unless you go past 5.5.1.

Didn't have to update to play Smash... I've been playing it on 5.5 with tubehax dns enabled?

I've often wondered... There's all kinds of stuff that can be done with the kernel exploit, saviine, loadiine, dumpiine... And IOSU>kernel, so I'm a bit confused as to what that means for when the IOSU exploit gets released. Will we have access to all that can be done with kernel, or will everything have to be completely rewritten, or will we need to wait for a separate kernel exploit for 5.5.1? How will everything work?:

one thing that an IOSU exploit will let us use is USB drives, right? also things like emunand

I hope Hykem or anyone working on the IOSU clarifies and confirms that updating to 5.5.1 won't cause any problems with whatever they are working on... because to be honest this "DO NOT UPDATE TO 5.5.1 !" on page1 is bloody scary...
