Hacking ColdbootHax, if you want it do this.

[KungFuzion]

I'm sure down the line there will be a method to do this without having to buy a game surely ?

 

[the_randomizer]

Do we know what games are compatible?

 

[KiiWii]

Buy games, support devs, be patient.

I wonder if the internet browser could be set to auto-boot on startup...

Wouldn't be quite the same but it would still be an automatic way to launch hax without buying anything...

 

[jmrodrigues]

I'm waiting for Salt's release, could they give out info if a VC game is needed?

 

[Risingdawn]

Everyone needs to 'kirb' their excitement.



I'm sorry I couldn't resist.

It may be ok to buy a DS game to prepare, with the risk of wasting money on a game that is incompatible with the exploit but rushing though some thrown together guide is just asking for a brick.

Why are do you need to "buy" a game ?? Everything is pretty much "free" (even if you haven't redNAND)

This might be possible, but I have a theory on why it won't.
The Internet Browser is a "multitasking" program, you know, one of those programs that you can launch without losing your progress in the currently open game?
The console probably expects that the Wii U Menu be open behind the browser or something like that, otherwise when the browser exits, there is nothing for the console to return to.

So if I were to do this, which EUR games are confirmed working right now? I only have Shadow Dragon and Spirit Tracks so far.

Because you need to buy it legit on your sysNAND, so your console autoboots each time in RedNAND.
The signatures need to be valid, so no RedNAND installed game.(The brazilian exploit isn't compatible with VCs)

Only Brain Age right now.

 

[cheuble]

Only Brain Age right now.

I tought Brain Age was using an older version of the VC that loaded the rom directly, not in a zip

 

[gamesquest1]

seeing as there is the possibility of any wiiu game having an exploitable function via this technique I would imagine that it will probably eventually be possible using a normal wiiu game I.e something that can be installed via disk tickets for those who cannot/refuse to buy anything

PS does the wiiu have any sort of recovery mode like the 3ds where it will boot to the update screen (to potentially fix bricks if someone screws up)

So, what now? Only Brain Age or doesn't that work either? I don't wanna waste money on a game that I have no desire to play xD

Is it not free for you?

 

[KuraudoSutoraifu]

No, I didn't get it when it was free.

I thought it was updated after the initial release to use the newer emulator that used zipped roms and had savestates.

this is for the Japanese version, but the update should have rolled out to Europe also.

 

[Conn0r]

Will this be able to be realistically be ported to every ds vc game or is it game specific.

I know, you can install un-legit games in sysNAND with a tutorial i rote somewhere in the comment section of this website

You have to boot a WUPServer fw.img (that doesn't need a NAND dump)
And open wupclient.py (python -i wupclient.py)
And type "install_title("pathOnSDCard", 0 or 1)" 0 for NAND, 1 for USB

This will not allow to boot it FYI, so this method is useless.
