Hacking [Wii U] Homebrews/Exploits - ideas or suggestions

[NexoCube]

The 3DS Homebrew section have a post like this, so i decided to start a Wii U one.

Goal : Community give to developers ideas or suggestions of homebrews or exploits to develop.
Seems easy yeah but may be useful.

Post Restrictions :

- Don't ask for IOSU or another coldboot or game save based exploit but you can give here, in the comment, some tips or some idea about exploitable stuff
- Don't ask for something that has been already made...

Before you ask USB support for Loadiine, here's some Kernel restrictions : (What you can't do)

- USB/UHS Support
- MCP Manager (Title Installer etc...)
- Coldboot exploit (Exploit while booting up your Wii U, like redNAND) (That's more technical actually but nvm)
- Custom Firmware
- Custom NAND
- NAND Backup
- emuNAND

Here's my own suggestions (That is totally subjective) :

- An MP4/AVI Reader
- A 3D Game like Portal 3DS (That is a Portal port for 3DS) - Made by @smealum

Developers: Check down here and start looking at others pages, i will not be able to list them all , i'm not the most active user :/ Sorry !

Now, dear haxx users; Let's post your suggestions, ideas etc... !

Spoiler: Ideas/Suggestions

Spoiler: Emulators

(Useless since Loadiine supports them) but nvm

- GBA
- GBC
- Nintendo 64
- NES
- SNES
- NDS
- GameCube
- Wii (plausible)
- Every console ever

Spoiler: Homebrew Games

- 2D/3D Fan-made Mario Game

Spoiler: Developement

- More GX2 Documentation, examples etc...

@Cyan is it possible to make it sticky ? (Like for the 3DS one)

Well you know. Everyone is waiting for those sweet sweet emulators

Gba Emulator
Snes Emulator
I want any emulator

I'd love to see another 3D Mario game on the 3DS, and/or a Super Mario Flashback port.

EDIT: Wait a minute... Did I seriously write 3DS instead of Wii U? *facepalm*

 

[Deleted User]

I vote for this to be sticky

We are getting close...but not close enough.

At some point, I want to port Lua to the Wii U and create a GX2/AX powered game of some sort.

Tomorrow i'll work on GX2 to see how it works ^^

And maybe i'll gave you a 3D game at the end of the week

There are already two threads with this purpose, they just got buried

Something that would be cool is to use an amiibo bin file to get a different ammibo as the base. It would be nice to unlock the cave of shadows.

Has anyone thought about writing a SD card speed program that runs on the wii u to see what the data transfer speeds are ? 8x Blu Ray is about 36 megabytes/sec. Id say the Wii U drive has to be atleast that.

It seems with the speed issues the sd card data rate in the wii U must be like 2MB/sec

It gets buried, because the Wii U section does not have a separate homebrew section like the 3DS does - https://gbatemp.net/forums/3ds-homebrew-development-and-emulators.275/ or even the Wii does - https://gbatemp.net/forums/wii-emulation-and-homebrew.179/

Why is this? Several people have asked for it, but it never happens.

This may be the Hacking and Homebrew section, but having the hacking in it, seems to keep any homebrew threads buried at all times. Both the 3DS and Wii sections have hacking in completely separate sections.

If it requires emulators for the Wii U to make a Homebrew and Emulator section, well, there are a few emulators already made for the Wii U, as well as URetro which is a port of Libretro to the Wii U which is currently being worked on.

Ahahah. This will be my reaction when i'll see that i broke my GPU :')

Good luck, and make us proud solider.

Thanks ! I'll do my best

You can't xD Sorry :/ But you can create fake amiboo's and use them. Use the gbatemp search bar, it might help

Maybe a Camera app for HBL?

 

[Twinkeltoe]

Twitch support (watching and maybe even streaming)

Instead of making it sticky, I think it will be closed very soon.
This kind of thread (exploit ideas) had been made every two months since the WiiU release and always ends bad. Users who "give ideas" are unknowledged users who don't know how a console is working. The suggestions can't be taken seriously and any developers knows what he can really do or not.
Users providing ideas or suggestion are not useful, unless they are developers themselves, and in this case they won't post it publicly for nintendo (or any other company) to investigate and close it before the hackers do anything with it.


I think a "WiiU Homebrew idea" thread already exists.
I'm looking for it right now...

(I used the search engine, I don't know why users say it's not working correctly)

Oh crap! On the link you gave, people really asked for "Nintendont directly from the Homebrew Launcher" or "Manga reader" (The Wii U have a PDF Reader already) or a "Recovery mode/Anti-brick" ...

You're right, GBATemp is not ready.
