Homebrew Guy claims to load HBL using Crunchyroll

[MajoraAKC]

So this guy recently uploaded a video where he gets access to Homebrew Launcher using Crunchyroll. What do you guys think? Personally I feel like it's fake.

I won't believe anything until it's released.

Wrong person

 

[jerbear64]

20 bucks he's just loading a video of the homebrew launcher.

Looks real to me, if this is fake then he's really good at timing the presses. He even makes mistakes when tapping like tapping off-center and missing the button.

It was already exposed as fake.

Source?

There was literally a post where apparently the creator exposed it as fake, but for some reason the staff deleted it.

So maybe it could be real or fake.

Creation? That one was a fake; I remember reading his "exposing myself mwah" post. If it were legit, I think I'd know about it...

I remember that thread, it was a while ago and it's completely unrelated to this.
Doesn't even look like it's the same person.

My bad, I don't follow the Wii U as tightly as I do the 3DS scene. Easy mistake on my end and I shall make my leave until something happens.

I understand the confusion though, he was also using the Crunchyroll app.
But this looks far more legit than that ever did.
There's a video a bit further down on the twitter and he didn't even tap anything on the home menu to make it look real.

i'm gonna dedicate myself to debunking this shit.

I've left a pretty decent comment on his video, interested to see how he responds. The videos' fine, but the comments this guy makes let him down; especially the stuff about bricking.

FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE
hey guys, guess what, it's fake! another attention seeking retard! I HAVE A FRIEND NOW.
but actually, here's some proof.

when loading it his gamepad suddenly gets uglier, so yeah, two different gamepads.

also his shitty response to his highness (quark)s comment.
heres what the furry said

Interesting video! It leaves me with a few thoughts, though... - You've done an awful lot of work in a short period of time. The ROP required to make this function is no small feat - even people like yellows8 have historically avoided doing this sort of work. How did you manage to do complete ROP while yours truly is still struggling to get a controlled branch? - Speaking of controlled branches, the big sticking point for me is the instability of the whole thing - same thing twice gives different results, y'know? I've only been getting branches at most 1/10 of the time, but you implied that your exploit is more or less stable; with only occasional crashes. Considering the heap layout that crunchyroll runs under and the location tx3g drops you in, I find this extremely hard to believe. How have you been semi-reliably getting code exec in the first place? - I read some of the other comments, and you've mentioned a brick risk. *This is patently false*, since there's nothing the PowerPC can do to brick a system like this. The IOSU sandboxes each application, not allowing any of them to have direct access to things like the NAND, which would be the only route to a brick. Your explanation of the brick itself also seems shaky - when that Wii U logo appears in the bottom-right, the Wii U is switching foreground applications to Mii Maker and exiting Crunchyroll. You should know this, since your ROP should have called the conspicuously-named "_Exit" to make this switch. Why, then, do you claim that Crunchyroll is still running when you exit homebrew? - I'm harping on this, but it's your weakest point. Crunchyroll is completely sandboxed by the IOSU and cannot affect anything other than itself. "Its ability to play ads" is handled entirely by stuff inside the app's /code folder which isn't touched anywhere else in the system. There's simply no way in hell you could have bricked.

and heres what the dumb dumb fakey fakey man said (showing an utter lack of competence and only responding to the bricking part, the only part he could leave up to mystery)

Ash my point is I have no idea why or how I bricked. It just doesn’t make any sense to me either. Because restarting the wii u console should fix the problem. I’ve managed to get into homebrew a few times but I’m running into crucial issues that really shouldn’t be happening. At this point I’ve managed to install haxchi on 5.5.2 with my exploit, but I literally have no idea how to explain these bugs. I’ll make a video showing what happens, but I can’t force it so I’ll just continuously record attempting my exploit. Either way, I’m sure it’s your time to shine because I know that you will find an exploit better than mine. I just hope you don’t run into the same problems as me! Thanks for being such a help in the wii u hacking community!

so yeah, to all you plebs on 5.5.2, keep waitin. have a great day!

Seems like he replaced the gamepad when he lifted the camera to the TV, and there's a comment that linked this image: http://imgur.com/SNNjwBU

This is the best part of this entire thread.

 

[Taven]

I don't get these attention seeking kids.

 

[wolf-snake]

Ohhh the good old days of fake kernel exploits on 5.5.1

 

[driverdis]

5.5.1 called and they want their fake exploits back

If you monetize your video you'll get money with a certain amount of views. Every time we watch that crap to evaluate whether it has merrit or not this prick gets a few cents.
