Hacking Contenthax - a Vulnerability in Wii U File System Verification

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

The reason I am asking is because this is inside of "\vol\storage_mlc01\sys\title\00050010\10040100\meta\meta.xml"
Which I believe is the wiiU system menu title. It's set 0 on the directboot attrib.

yea it is the Home Menu.
I'm not sure about this attrib.

try
vol/storage_usb
instead of
vol/storage_usb01

Thanks, it turned out to be 02 actually, but I'm still having exactly the same problem. I can cd to the folder, download the existing rom.zip, but same "could not open" error whenever I try to upload, regardless of whether the game is on usb or nand.
Any other ideas, anyone?

has anyone tried this with MK DS?

Only things I can think of is making sure the rom.zip is in the same folder as wupclient.py and to make sure you are using the unedited wupclient.py and not the one that came with the gui.

I used the wupclient.py from fix94 wuphax release. Worked fine. Have you tried that one?

 

[FIX94]

by the way I just want to note that now a few people already said that uploading the rom.zip from my branch to the US release of brain age does in fact work as well after my v1.1 update, just if you US guys want to try that here too.

Fantastic!

Thanks a ton FIX!

Thanks, but yeah rom.zip is in the same folder (I've also tried supplying the whole path to it), and I'm using fix94's wuphax release.

Spoiler

This one right?

 

[FIX94]

you better put that in a spoiler, cause that fills up the entire screen. Anyways, from wikipedia:
"Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!, also known as Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? in PAL regions, is an entertainment video game that employs puzzles."
So yea that name seems about right. Also a kirby backport will probably happen later today.

 

[Afraidium]

I'm sorry I can't see anything, only a huge picture! Lol

Any chance of super Mario 64 DS for US happening today as well? Also I added a spoiler

whatever nintendo changed @Afraidium they did a really good job hiding it, same file sizes and everything not even a byte of a difference extracted however the MD5 never lies:
WII U ROM: F30707665AF444433945328D9D1E5446
REAL EU ROM: 588B392DFD20E8C670AB3A2B2EE79CD8

There are two code sections that are replaced in the WiiU version. Additional code added that is not found in the original ROM.
Essentially replacing "00" byte sections from the original. I'm not sure what its use is though. Maybe compatibility settings?

Well it let me upload a completely different file (speaking of which, is there any way to delete a file?), but I still can't upload rom.zip

w.rm("/vol/PATH_TO/FILENAME") I think should work.

 

[hippy dave]

w.rm("/vol/PATH_TO/FILENAME") I think should work.

Nope, rm isn't a recognised command sadly.

crap you are right! I just looked in the py script. Hmm, I'd say move it to usb or something, but then again, I didn't see "mv". I'm sorry I don't know.

w.df looks like it writes 0s over the file so that might be it, only see copy command no moving one

Looks to me like it's copying from some "src" that you're supposed to supply. Oh well no worries, deleting the random file isn't a big deal, I can always just redownload the game. I just don't understand why I can't upload rom.zip

 

[FIX94]

@hippy dave I highly doubt that you are using either the correct iosuhax or wupclient version, make sure to at least download this one
https://github.com/FIX94/iosuhax/blob/master/wupserver/wupclient.py
and copy the FULL LOG of the output you get here if its an error because there should not be any problem.
