Hacking Is there a fw.img that has custom boot logos, nuspacker support (cont.)

wupserver and creation of a dump at the beginning of the sd card instead of flashing directly to the sd card.

 

[Irastris]

Nope.

 

[pietempgba]

ok...

 

[ThatNintendoNerd]

By boot logos, do you mean for apps or for fw.img?

 

[pietempgba]

for booting iosuhax

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the splash screen like dimok's redNAND has now when starting up fw.img.

Edit: 'd

 

[pietempgba]

yeah

 

[ThatNintendoNerd]

Ah, ok. Yea, no fw.img has that yet. Wait a bit and maybe we can achieve that. Kinda like menuhax where it was a screen of scrambled pixels, but then added a boot logo.

 

[pietempgba]

what does 'd mean?

 

[Irastris]

what does 'd mean?

It means that someone made a post within seconds of someone else, that both answer the same question.

Wait a bit and maybe we can achieve that.

So you are working on it?

Didn't realize dimok's repository has all the support Maschell's did.

 

[ThatNintendoNerd]

Oh God no. I could never figure that out. Best thing I can do for Wii U is make apps.

 

[dimok]

All it would take would be to merge some of the code from @dimok 's iosuhax with Maschell's iosuhax. That would cover three of OP's questions. The devs working on the Wii U still have yet to find a way to load redNAND from a raw file structure on an SD rather than a flashed SD card, though.

Why would you want that? Maschell explicitly deleted his fork because you can build the fw.img for normal sysNAND from my fork too now. A raw file structure on an SD will not work, at least not as a single file because FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit. Besides internal fragmentations of a file would make that even slower. So actually this is not a goal anyone I know wants to address at the moment.

EDIT:
Oh just noticed he didn't yet. Well at least he said he was going to.

 

[Irastris]

Why would you want that?

I wasn't referring to the redNAND patches, I was referring to the portion of your code that loads the splash screen instead of printing "Welcome to redNAND!" now.

I also didn't realize that he deleted his fork. Do you know whether or not yours works fine with NUSpacker as well?

Yes it does. It has all the necessary patches.

Alright, disregard what I said then. Looks like it's time to switch yet again.

ok. I thought you are working on it because you said

we can achieve that

 

[tunip3]

ok. I thought you are working on it because you said

We need a programme that allows you to upload an mp4 file and it converts it to a custom boot/splash screen to inject it into the wiiu

 

[ThatNintendoNerd]

Ok, well, dimok updated his fork of IOSUHax which allows custom splash screens. No animations though, but doesn't really bother me.
