What the fuck is happening? twenty plus pages in a short time means something has happened but reading back a few pages, seems like some random guy is uploading something and hykem posted again?
Throw in SonyUSA's homebrew test apps and you will have summed up the last 20 pages.

Edit: ninja'd.

Ryan uploaded the Wii U SDK and Hykem posted about people on GBATemp and how they are impatient

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And SonyUSA "supposedly" Made a homebrew game for 5.5.0 and 5.5.1
Thanks, Good to see something happening for once

I've been checking in on this thread, but think I'm heading over to the 5.40 thread. Seems like there is something going on with 5.40

Ahhhh, the drama, the chaos, the impatience... Never change, GBAtemp, never change...

I hope you all eventually realize that I never gave any specific dates for a release. Instead, I kept manifesting my intentions on releasing something on a meaningful date (Christmas was the original goal, for instance) and failed consecutively to deliver because I do have a life (not a particularly easy one either).
Nonetheless, I kept the only actual promise I made, which was to report progress and document as much as possible. I even went the extra mile and threw the remaining keys away as proof.

Anyway, my goal with announcing this before even showing any proof was to spark interest in the Wii U again, and I succeeded to a satisfactory extent. Not only that, but people in general became more cautious with updating their consoles, which is a great bonus.

Everything is advancing at a great pace, I'm porting my exploit to a few key firmware versions and documenting relevant information. Homebrew ideas are being brainstormed and for the first time since the Wii U's launch, I believe it will be possible to raise a decent "scene" before it falls drastically into oblivion after the NX comes out.

What I don't understand is why people get mad when things get delayed. You do realize that I'm burning down an exploit just for everyone to enjoy homebrew on their consoles, right?
Not only that, but releasing the exploit alone won't give you anything at all. For that reason, several developers are working on different aspects of the console before it gets out in the wild and that takes variable amounts of time.

At first, my original intention was to just drop the exploit and let people do the rest, but now I don't think that's going to work. What do I mean with all this? Stop worrying so much about it. The latest firmware (5.5.1) is vulnerable, just enjoy your console in the meantime and when it's out, it's out.

In sum, I don't care if 99% of you end up hating me because the exploit is not being released when you want it to be, nor do I care if you all blame me for starting a massive hype all around and then not delivering when I was supposed to. I know there's still 1% of people around that understand what we (developers) are doing and that everyone will eventually get the chance to explore their systems in the way that's supposed to be, safe and fun. Those people don't care if the exploit is released on February, March, 2017, 2120 or whatever, because they understand we know what we're doing.

Also, mind you, time is the only factor here. Everyone seems to be so eager to disprove or contradict what I'm doing that you all end up fighting about my posts, trying to figure out what I meant exactly.

Just don't release it! No one in this shithole deserves it anyway. It is not so hard to make this decision at that point. The scene will be crappy anyway. People will ONLY care about piracy. It will be even worse than the 3DS scene which is ONLY about 95% about piracy. Just keep this console unhacked for once.

Piracy isn't always for the sake of getting the game for free. I just got a Sm4sh custom music CIA and damn, it's awesome. With this exploit (or something else), we can get more mods going on. Awhile ago I saw someone wanting an uncensored version of a game and that would be cool too.

@Hykem I hope it's something worth it after all this time
Yes I agree with you , release it now without anything with it is kind of useless, I wish you could archive EmuNAND even if it takes until April

I don't agree. While many would misuse the exploit, but there is still enough goodness for this once being completed exploit to be released.

Hey Hykem,

keep cool. I wanna thank you for you hard work. Just work on it, till its polished and till it`s ok in your opinion. Many of this people never have been into software-development. ...
