Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[Maximilious]

Hey @WulfyStylez - Any update on the team SALT deployment? I see a bunch of threads on new functionality but honestly I'd have better luck knitting my own sweater than piecing all that stuff together. Hoping you guys are close to a release since everyone else is going in a different direction.

Even though the whole redNAND CFW stuff is quite tempting.
I will wait for SALTs Release.
Is there any Forum or subreddit where the Team gives Progress Reports?
Kind Regards.

Same thing here bro.
The max I do is use the USB method.

What's wrong with the current iosuhax and haxchi? Those are pretty stable and user-friendly enough, I'm waiting for Salt's release too, but not because it might be better than WiiUBru's work, just because we will have more options to choose, I'm also waiting for hexFW, which is very promising too

The only things wrong with the current rednand that I know of are:

• vWii doesn't work for some reason, from what I've heard
• You need a 64GB SD card for a 32GB Wii U. Team SALT have a workaround for this, or at least are working on one.

Also, if you screw up haxchi coldboothax with system.xml by trying stuff randomly, you'll brick.

Otherwise I don't see any issues with it, except maybe that wupserver isn't hugely user-friendly.

* About the vWii's issue it will be fixed until we got sig patched sysnand natively (like a9lh on 3ds), that's one of rednand/emunand limitations. So I highly doubt that Salt will give a solution for this.
* Nope, you will need 64gb SD on 32gb consoles with Salt's solution too, they stated that before on this thread.

WulfyStylez is working on MLC shrinking though, allowing smaller SD cards.

Full disclosure: I'm still implementing MLC shrinking between doing other things, so at this exact moment it's 16GB for 8GB, and 64GB for 32GB. Those numbers will stay the same for users who don't wish to shrink their MLCs. After MLC shrinking is fully implemented (and it's getting there, debugging it is just really exhausting), all systems will be able to run off of just a 16GB card. MLC sizes smaller than 8GB actually seem possible, but I'm not sure yet if I want to support them since Nintendo themselves have likely never tested sizes that small.

Pretty sure you mess around with haxchi coldboothax with system.xml on Salts, You'll get the same outcome... So whats ya point? Im willing to bet that Salts have what we have here already with just a different label...

Yeah, I guess that point wasn't valid really.

Also, coldboothax is still in wip, but haxchi is fully working with custom meta files.

Not going to lie, I haven't read anything here since Hykem was promising us a release back in January. Just have a simple question, is the Wii U hacked to the point that novice users can play games from USB drives like the original Wii? If so, can someone point me to a guide on how to do it?

 

[mariogamer]

@shinyquagsire23 Does that mean that the exploit will be private?

Also,github is not the only soluce to host source code,you might use your one server to be more unified.

For now,I encourage using smealum's things.

With wupserver we have access to mounting the sd along with the slccmpt, and we have the command cpdir which could be used to dump slccmpt directly to sd. Doesn't that mean we technically now have a way to back up and restore vWii from Wii U in case we brick it? I don't fully understand vWii yet so I may be wrong

@FIX94: Would it be possible to inject an USB-Loader GX forwarder into i.e. Xenoblade Chronicles and start the homebrew directly from WiiU menu + full GamePad support?

Sounds like Crediar is up to something, possibly something like Uneek https://twitter.com/crediar/status/798824249850855427

Going on what the Wii side of things, Sneek was SD redirect nand, Uneek was USB redirect nand. More that likely SD & just playing on the U in WiiU, USNEEK.

Saw that yesterday too, glad someone else read through the cryptic message haha. For anyone wondering, found this in the temp:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/so-what-exactly-is-sneek-and-uneek.308305/

Keep in mind, that thread is in the Wii forum and would be a necro bump if anyone posted there!
