So if I have Chbc installed can I update the Wii U? Will it still cold boot?
Normally yes. But don't delete it tho, or you'll lose access to homebrew until someone find a new exploit/brick if you didn't changed you're system.xml (or something like that)

I know, pointless update, we'll find another bug and exploit it, it'd just require some time
That's the real question. Will someone find out an exploit.... Cause now everyone forgot about the wiiu.... Except FIX94 and some other.

(I think it's simple since we can find an exploit in the OSS...)

If you dump your OTP and SEEPROM on old version, it should be possible in the future to install haxchi on 5.5.2, and probably on any future firmware version. (With installing the DS to the USB and editing it on the PC, I am working on such tool. but the first release that will be released soon will be for read only).

(but future versions may fix the other exploits, so haxchi will be useless without them...)

Strange.... I cannot update my rednand.... It always give me error code 162-4023 while installing (no brick tho).

What ninti error lookup says: "If you are receiving this error code, please contact us at 1-800-255-3700. Specially trained representatives will be available to assist you, 6:00am - 7:00pm (PST), seven days a week."

Sounds fishy :wink: ITS A TRAP! I wouldnt never call nintendo lol

Well, this is just great. I've just been using browserhax up to now and I don't have updates blocks, nor do I have a DS VC to setup haxchi. I guess I'm SOL unless and until someone is able to get browserhax working for 5.5.2. I feel like such an idiot right now, but I guess there a plenty of people in a similar situation as me since nobody expected Nintendo to update the Wii U again.

Yes, I'm sure they will (Actually they already started)

but... what's the point? new ppl in 5.5.2 won't even know what is the SEEPROM, and if you can dump OTP/Seeprom you can install haxchi too

Couldn't you turn your internet off and change your DNS? That's what I did.

The point is that it is important to dump your OTP and SEEPROM. So even if you do some stupid mistake like formatting you will be able to exploit your console again.

And as I saw in other comments. for people who didn't install DS game. They can't install haxchi anymore. EDIT: oh nvm, you can do spoofing.

I see... well, it'll be probably useful in the range of time No Entrypoint->Entrypoint (whitch could be a lot of time, who knows)

Most important question: Will this update prevent me from installing CFW? Because I never got a chance to update my console to 5.5.1, and I won't be able to before the update goes live.

That's the real question. Will someone find out an exploit.... Cause now everyone forgot about the wiiu.... Except FIX94 and some other.

After DSi's 1.4.5 update, it was only a matter of time until flash carts became usable again. It will be the same for Wii U and Homebrew.

    @Psionic Roshambo, The Wii U gamepads are tied to the console's region, so its impossible to find a cheap gamepad that supports your model.

    Unless you modify your system, of course, and remove the region check.

    @Xdqwerty can we discuss chrono trigger
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @Xdqwerty I like how the game had the middle ages 1000AD, the dark ages 600AD.It was great seeing the post robot apocalypse 2300 like Terminator and enter the matrix. some of mad max and fallout. 2300ad though it could had used more elements instead of just a generic ai uprising. It was a great idea for their judgement day to be 1999 Y2K.

    -great additions if they would have made an expansion or dlc in my opinion would be finding out humans trapped in a matrix -

    a follower having a cyborg character living tissue over metal endoskelleton like terminator, and the synths from fallout
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    4After Zeal fell it would have been good to see more ancient eras. Perhaps Sumeria based in one area, then Egypt based in another area, Greek based in another area, then roman based in another area before the middle ages.---------

    ----between 1000ad and 1999 is a big gap they should have had the age of revolution like the american and French Revolution

    then the cowboyy era in one area of map and the Industrial revolution/age of enlightmentthen a ww1 and ww2 and a cold war era
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    they could have added 75,000 bc like assassins creed. zeal was already establish in 12, 000 bc , soething before the kindom rose
