Who know how to dump the game update ?
I got the disc, but idk how to dump the update alone....
Two things.
1. This question belongs over in hacking section
2. Why do you want to dump it? It is available for everyone else already.

I just disabled internet altogether by renaming the SSID instead of deleting it (so I don't have to re-enter DNS info). There has to be some kind of phoning home that the system does whenever you go online though. Perhaps activity log data can show that you played it early? I don't know, but am not too concerned about it.

i'm talking about the update: i've read some people couldn't get it.....
I am talking about the update as well. If they can't find the update that is easy to find, then how is you dumping the update going to help them. You can't link to it from here.

Ok ok calm down, i know i can't post links :)
I didn't know it was available, sorry :(
Sorry if that came off bad. Just don't want you to waste you're or anyone else's time. Posting another on the same site isn't going to help those people. Good you are willing to help.

what do i need to install this? my wii u has been in storage i only have loadiine setup and blocked updates with DNS and i just purchased brainage to install haxchi
how should i proceed? do i need mocha? do i just set up haxchi or do i need rednand to play games online and use non legit DLC?

also what is this update i keep on hearing about is this just a game update or is there a new system update in BOTW that will take me past 5.5.1?
i have not been paying too close attention to the scene i only bought a wii u for this game and i am too busy to read all the thousand page threads because of personal goings on

can someone just give me a quick overview of what i need to do now that i have brainage
and loadiine
i assume i run the haxchi installer

but is that all? do i need renand if i want to play installed games online and use non legit DLC do i need mocha CFW?

also i remember i one thread about a 150 pages in or so there was talk or progress about sharing a wii u partition on the same drive as vWII is thi a thing yet or do i still need a dedicated drive exclusively formatted for wii u?

This will give you everything you need to know.

Mocha and rednand are not necessary for your stated purposes. Still need separate USB device.

The BotW update is separate from the game download and is necessary to boot the game. Wii USB Helper is easiest way to download EU copy of game but update must be obtained elsewhere like that site we don't talk about.

if haxchi just boots you into the HBC and you just need WUP installer to install games to the HDD
then is haxchi just the same as loadiine since they can both boot HBL i do not understand why you need haxchi to play
games online and to use non legit DLC or do you, can you just use loadiine to run WUP installer then install the game to the HDD /internal memory and then play them online and use non legit DLC?
can someone explain what the benefit of haxchi is besides not having to go to the browser to launch HBL
what are the exact minimum requirements to play an installed game online and use non legit DLC?

Haxchi is programable, you can set it to launch any .elf you have in your SD, mine is autobooting Simple Signature Patcher to make use of DLC suport and pressing A, it boots HBL.
Point is, Haxchi is an offline launcher, you decide what to do with it.

That's the only reason why I'm not installing the game. I'm not willing to risk my NNID for it. If they can send log data, then they definitely know you were playing it before launch and what's the difference between that and the Pokémon SuMo case? Not much imo.

i understand the fear, but we are talking about Wii U: production is finished, Botw is the last game. I think they will make all their efforts for the switch and let the wii u abandoned

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
