Python2 is there in PATH. By the way, I'm using Python Version 2.7.11.
Are you sure the path is right? Mine looks like this:
Code:
c:\devkitPro\msys\bin;C:\Program Files\.........;C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\Windows Performance Tool
kit\;C:\python27

Hi there!

I've been trying to compile the FIX94 version of the fw.img but atm I'm having this issue:

$ make
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘sections’: File exists
make: *** [Makefile:21: sections/0x5000000.bin] Error 1


I have tried with different versions of armips (none of them compiled by me... just lazy), tried with mingw and cygwin for the make process, tried downloading the missing sections from a pastebin...

Any clue what's going on on my machine? I'm using W10, python 2.7 and cygwin with the make plugin.

Edit: if anyone wants to send me the already compiled file, that would be awesome. I'm looking for the wupserver fw.img file... to be able to hack the vWii.

Thanks :)

So... been trying a bit more, fixed an issue with my Path and now I got this:


...
patches/0x5000000.s
C:/path/to/armips/armips.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ucrtbased.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:32: patched_sections/0x5000000.bin] Error 127

I guess I should compile my own version of armips, but I have no idea how to do it, tried to look for a guide or readme but couldn't find anything...

It seems that W10 has some issues with this process :(

I just added this link into my wuphax thread to hack vwii and maybe it helps here too, I just compiled armips to work on any windows system down to stock xp (yes, I even tested this), so this should give you no trouble at all anymore, its all statically linked into the exe itself.

sure, if you are in the wupclient of my iosuhax fork you just have to insert a disc, type in "mount_odd_tickets()", then "w.dldir("/vol/storage_odd_tickets")" which drops a vol folder in the iosuhax folder with the contents of that partition, rename that to whatever you want I guess, then you do "unmount_odd_tickets()" and take the disc out, repeat.
oh and if you want to dump locally installed eshop tickets, that command would be "w.dldir("/vol/system_slc/rights/ticket/apps/")" by the way.
Any way to dump the encrypted game files like you would get if you extracted a WUD using DiscU?

Or even the WUD itself...

Getting this error when running getfwimg.py: TypeError: Non-hexadecimal digit found
Full error:

somewhat simple 5.5.1 fw.img downloader
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "getfwimg.py", line 23, in <module>
wiiu_common_key = codecs.decode(wiiu_common_key, 'hex')
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/encodings/hex_codec.py", line 42, in hex_decode
output = binascii.a2b_hex(input)
TypeError: Non-hexadecimal digit found

Any ideas? Thanks! :)

You see (wiiu_common_key, 'hex')? you need to find the wiiu common key and insert that into the file.

I can't give it to you because that's against site rules, but it's out there.
