Hardware Loading demos on a WII U kiosk Console

[GlitchyDavid]

I'm interested to see how this will turn out

You could, like, have a museum of demos!

^Most likely to happen

Would be good if you could somehow inject games of your choice into the demo files and fool the unit into allowing full games to be played.

I've got an idea! Try using a USB-LAN-Adapter for Internet-Connectivity, if you even have the option to go to the Webbrowser!
Then you could exploit the console.

@Conker69
You should sell/borrow one of these to someone who can make a teardown of the console.
That could make Gamepad-connectivity for PC easier (or at least to a Raspberry Pi / Arduino), amongst other things that don't come to my head right now! ^^'

A guy on assembler has already done a tear down of it

May 2015 update disc 102079

Got one update disc in the mail today. Sadly when I updated the system it deleted all the old content on the console. O well wonder what the next disc will add to the console.
This one has playable demos of splatoon and new super Mario bros

Do the SD cards come with anything special on them?

Sd Cards are only used to get into the menu and save a log of the console.

Mind posting a log sample? Just for the fun of reading it

Good job getting this! Where did you find it?

All three console came from eBay. The update discs came from all over. Facebook groups, Instagram, forums

The tower of kiosk and dev units.

Mmm I'm pretty sure most of the software on those kiosk consoles can be loaded on a regular Wii U through loadiine.... if you could somehow dump all that + the disks..............

These are really neat! I've always been interested in demo/prototype stuff.

You sure are lucky to have all those kiosk Wii U's. You must know a lot of names haha.

I love the people that say "your just jelly because your saying bad stuff about the console"

Jealous? Over a retail kiosk Wii U? Those games are demos. He isn't getting 300$ of games in a Wii U. Don't know who would be jealous when you can pirate full Wii games

 

[PTKickass]

I'm actually really curious about what TotalInsanity4 said. If you could, pop in a demo disc on a normal Wii U and tell us what happens. Not forcing you or anything, just do it if you want

Oh, and you should send some units to my house for "research" purposes :3

Kiosk and Dev Wii Us have very interesting programs, for example a title installer and a 100% compatible native game loader and many more things like a region changer, imagine dumping that with a special exploit for dev/kiosk models and running them on a retail wii u via a kernel exploit, probably some of them won't work because of different permissions but it could be very very interesting to see what happens.

Lol fake really here's a video of my console.

I have nothing bad to say about Loadiine GX, but damn it would be nice to have that kiosk console coverflow for backup launching!. It's beautiful.
