Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

And those are cool homebrews, may I add

yeah, like hello world and pong

Yeah, these simple apps are less broken compared to the web browser.

hola este exploid funciona en consolas europeas sistema pal?

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

hi this exploid works in European PAL consoles ?

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

Este exploit funcionara con todas las consolas. Y las consolas europeas y estadounidenses son NTSC por HDMI. Ya no son pal. Lo unico que es differente es la region del sistema operativo.

Exploit works with all consoles. European consoles aren't really pal because of HDMI. The difference is the O.S region version.

Security holes =/= broken
Company security =/= end user experience

Whatever happened to Tri-core-Linux? Was a deadend met?

Didn't F0F say they would do something... If something... Happened?

Hykem and Smea have happened and plenty of new homebrew is emerging. It would be great if they could give us some new input or hints.

 

[lonemoonHD]

Just stop bitching. Go play some games and come back in a few months.. Damn..

That's called irony. Though it may not look like it, and it doesn't, it's still cringe-y, random, illogical irony of someone below 18.

And by the way, Hykem tweeted out that he'll hammer his Wii U if he raises the small loan of a mlllion dollars on his Kickstarter. That's right, the Earth as we know it is collapsing.

There is actually a few others if you actually paid attention to the homebrew scene instead of just worrying about your free games.

Yeah he forgot c@ve and paint.

And asteroids and snake.

Sweet Snake?! Well screw iosu then because that's... Well that's just the tops. The pinnacle of hacking and engineering.

Anyway, I get trying to make the 5.5ers feel better, but no ones been trying to not update for months to play something my Nokia in 95 could do. Let's be honest, its all about those big ticket apps. Loadiine, cafeiine ,BlowMii, every emulator ever and some form of gamepad support for games on vwii.

 

[ddrrmm]

there has been a group of people here since the wiiu released, discussing exploits. attempting to achieve something and waiting for certain things.
we have waited for years, you're just late to the party.

Oh no I was around. I just stopped paying attention for a few months and had updated to 5.4.0 just before I actually looked back. Then after waiting on that forever for nothing to happen I said "Fuck it." And let my fiancé update again. I'm not complaining really about the exploit not being released but all of the constant middle fingers and dick comparing by putting shit like "Oh nao wut do Wii have hear?! Oh yes its me <insert dev> with my own exploit/homebrew/holy grail but its private lolol but look I'm using backups and custom things lolol just code your own!" Kind of sucks. And then you've got guys like "5.5 has homebrew quit complaining " but its comparing apples to gold bars in terms of quality and usefulness. Sure, an ASCII game with two levels is neat, but it really can't compare.

Someone's gonna get mad at this, but its so true tbh

It's the internet, someone is going to get mad regardless. And I'm not trying to attack any one specific dev or anything, it's been happening for years but it's just... annoying. I mean, of course people are going to get mad.

You are making pointless, un needed, sarcastic posts and you are trying to claim you "aren't trying to attack anyone"? Ok lol

Well honestly I could start naming names but it goes all the way back to things like the Super Mario Galaxy 2 Co-Op hack, being teased then having the source refused to release, or the problem with the first GC loader on Wii being locked by needing to have the disc in the drive regardless, hence why I said it's been going on for years. I was merely saying that no, no one here is entitled to the hack, but there are these pointless fanboys acting like there is literally no reason for anyone to do anything other than spit shine the Dev's shoes. I am more than fine waiting, people have real life. It's the overhyping then doing nothing that frustrates people, and it keeps happening. All I think of when I think of the current hacking scene is that guy from the Progressive commercials. They keep dangling this thing in front of people and saying "Look what I can do! Too bad you can't! See how fun this is? Ok BYE!" I mean, it is teasing, by definition. Then you take into account that most of the users on this site are not only young children, but are also growing up in an age where a "Long wait" is mere weeks. Everything these days is instant. You also have a lot of mistrust lately with some other "Devs" simply lying, like the fiasco in the 3ds scene with PinkGoldPeach and LuigiBro, so naturally when someone is selling you the cure to cancer and keeps "delaying" just like those aforementioned "devs", people go straight for the pitchforks.

I do not wish to piss anyone off, but maybe they should look at the way the scene is being handled. Don't keep teasing the dog if you don't want to get bit. And don't be mad at the dog when it finally bites.

Edit: And I do have full faith in Hykem, and understand that life outside of the temp is more important, and I am grateful that eventually there will be something for us. I just know if I was developing something I would be fully prepared from the backlash of the community.

I agree with @LoganK93 though.

First of all, teasing is something that angers the masses.
They see what's in store and yet the teasers act like if they didn't expect that.
Well it's quite obvious it will.

It's like throwing an ignited match into gasoline, it won't only spread instantaneously, but it will also catch fire in such violent way. I like the dog analogy too, seems very fitting.

Second, close source projects are like cancer to a homebrew scene.
I am strongly against that when it comes to a community that has such a huge potential to create innovative and creative projects with a library or code that a closed source project uses.
It's narcissism in its pure form, egotistical and a pretty selfish attitude.

A clear example is Nintendont. How thankful I am that it became a thing in this regard and thank to its developers. Shows you how well a real developing community works instead of just closing the whole source code and acting like a self entitled coding "god."
Another example is the growing number of apps for the Wii U with the new libraries that are being released, like the one dimok released alongside Loadiine GX2.

Short words, a hacking/homebrew scene sees its full potential with open source projects.
Not only to make new code and apps, but also to polish the already existing code and libraries.

At the end of the day, if a close source douche appears, I always hope for the day in which an open source community project dethrones it and brings the close source dev's ego down the toilet. I love when that happens.
