Hacking Sad, unfinished port of an ELF loader.

[NWPlayer123]

I will be back tomorrow and will then look further into the elf loader. Also I don't think that there is a problem with the elf file, but I will compile it again and see if there are any differences.

Atm the elf loader loads the payload from a Webserver, but it i'm sure that it can also be loaded from SD with a bit of rewriting.

Actually no, there's a reason loadiine won't work, because you need to be able to install persistent stuff (IE patching coreinit's start function to run code when you open an app like Mii Maker) and that requires kernel which isn't public on 5.5

I think you quoted the wrong post xD
But its ok ^^
But if you meant mine, the elf file I compiled is just the standart elfexample.

Um. There is no public kernel exploit for 5.5. Loadiine can't happen without a kernel exploit.
IOSU is a (superior) alternative to that which will give more access so proper USB loaders will be possible.
So yes, it has a lot to do with IOSU.

agree, but may be used "private" kernel exploit for 550

I've had an alternate kernel exploit since early August, which is private and works fine on 5.5.0.

It is not possible for the Loadiine dev(s) to make a 5.5 version if they have no kernel exploit on 5.5 and even if they did have access to the private exploit, they can't release the kernel exploit without the permission of the exploit devs, so it's not as easy as you think. It's all up to the exploit devs. The 5.5 kernel exploit will probably be released once patched, unless IOSU is released first.

If today release Kernel exploit, then tomorrow will be loadiine. And when release iosu? I don't know, you don't know, nobody knows)))

Why are we talking about Loadiine? This elf loader is to get around the 20KB size limit that is currently the limitation of homebrew on 5.5/5.5.1

What is the other version limit?

Same size limit, but other firmwares have an elf loader already.

elf loader should work now

have fun (5.5.* only)

I don't know if this is the right place to put this but, NWPlayer1234 got elf working on 5.5.X.

yea we helped each other out, that's the result

Yay! Back to work for me! :3

Don't forget to update your OP to say it works now

Alsoooo, can someone upload the compiled loader/mp4? Thanks!

 

[Bubsy Bobcat]

Well, it's a step closer to 5.5 users getting more homebrew goodies . Shame nobody has started working on a .gnome or .smurf loader yet .

 

[Nayit]

Wow that´s great guys!

So I don't want to sound dumb, but what are .elf files?

I know what they do for the Wii, but how about the Wii U?

 

[SonyUSA]

@NWPlayer123 and @MrRean have you gotten anything but the hello world to compile? The loader works fine but I can't seem to get my C@VE code to compile properly, I changed
LDFLAGS=-Ttext 1800000 --oformat elf32-powerpc
to no avail, just a giant output file (80KB)

 

[MrRean]

just use cmd prompt with make

No bueno >_> black screen after loadup
